By Wayne Allensworth Bill and Shirley Allensworth Houston, Texas 1953 I recall the time and circumstances in which I knew once and for all I couldn’t go home again. It was 1992. We were back in Houston for Christmas. My wife and I took walks in the morning and passed still remaining landmarks that had taken on the air of museum exhibits. Or ruins. The post office. The old grocery store, now a...
By R. Cort Kirkwood The federal criminal complaint against Ryan Wesley Routh, who attempted to assassinate former President Trump on Sunday, offered more details about Routh’s failed attempt. Notably, Routh landed at the golf course two hours after midnight Saturday and waited for his chance to murder Trump, the complaint alleges. The complaint also offers more details about Routh’s weapon and...
By R. Cort Kirkwood The FBI is investigating a second assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump, this time at his golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida. Secret Service agents spotted a man with an “assault rifle,” reports say, then an agent fired at the man several times. West Palm Beach cops later arrested Ryan Wesley Routh with an “assault rifle” on Interstate 95. The former...
By R. Cort Kirkwood The verdict is in on last night’s ABC News presidential debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. It was fixed. It was biased. It was a joke. Moderators Linsey Davis and David Muir asked loaded, hostile questions of Trump, but tossed Harris one slow pitch after another. They “fact-checked” Trump’s accuracy repeatedly, but let Harris slide...
by Cort Kirkwood At the New American: What ABC News sponsored and what Americans saw last night was not a one-on-one debate. The network’s David Muir and Linsey Davis blatantly sided with Harris, “fact-checking” former President Donald Trump when he told the truth, while permitting Vice President Kamala Harris to spew one lie after another. And ABC’s post-debate “fact-check” published this...
By Wayne Allensworth If I had only one reason to vote for Trump-Vance in November, this would be enough: Kamala Harris voted against requiring doctors to render aid to babies born alive after a “botched” abortion. That alone tells us all we need to know about her and what her party has become. The “abortion van” outside the DNC only confirmed the ghoulishness of the ghastly, and, yes...
By Wayne Allensworth I recently finished reading J.D. Vance’s memoir, Hillbilly Elegy. The takeaways from that reading include: Vance’s rejection of fatalistic hopelessness. Hopelessness is pervasive among Vance’s people, and many have fallen into drug addiction, which has spurred on the collapse of the family. Encouraged by grandparents who expended so much of their lives and energy raising...
By Wayne Allensworth Ann Coulter, no fan of former President Donald Trump, says that she will nevertheless vote for him in November. What tipped the balance in his favor after Coulter said she had considered not voting at all? Trump’s choice of J.D. Vance as his running mate. If Trump had been true to past form and chosen Nicky Haley, Coulter would have sat this one out. But Vance is different...
