I no longer read today’s shysters, those grubby-fingered leeches called journalists, mostly because they’re as far removed from fairness and the truth as I am from LGBQTVMGM. The fact that Trump has won has not reminded them of their primary duty, which is to inform, not to convert. Most of them are envious creatures who erroneously believe in their moral superiority and their left-wing ideology, which is par for the course.

The Top Two

All-Conquering Israel

This is my last week in the Bagel and things are looking up. For some of us, that is; for others it’s despair time. No use beating around the bush: Israel has won big-time, Iran ...

Stop the Press

Fred Astaire

I’ll report some good news for a change. Perhaps the most important event this year outside the presidential election is the imminent collapse of the so-called diversity, ...

Benjamin Netanyahu

Netanyahoos

“We are entering an autocratic, or at least authoritarian, American future.” So wrote some bald-faced phonies in The New York Times, but they would, wouldn’t they? I find ...

Do the Hokey Pokey

Funny how the Brits are always falling behind the Yanks, as they pejoratively call them. No sooner had the Americans woken up and voted Trump to power, those in Britain wielding ...

Defeat of the Elite

The good news is that the mendacious columnists at The New York Times have committed collective suicide. The bad news is that I just made this up. Portentous phonies like ...

The Plan for Uncle Sam

This will fall on deaf ears in the White House, no matter who the new resident will be next year, but here goes anyway: Chinese and Russian analysts are taking note of the United ...

Notes on the Vote

It is a truth universally acknowledged that the main American media includes many homely, bitter, left-leaning women and numerous bald, left-wing, and equally unattractive men. No ...

Mickey Mantle

Take Me Back to the Old Game

At the time I came to this country in 1948, baseball was unrivaled by other sports, and it seemed to my 11-year-old self to be at the very center of American life. I remember it ...

Are We That Civilized?

If outrage, grief, and concern were the civilized world’s reaction to the killing of 1,200 Israelis on October 7, 2023, total indifference by the same types seems to be the ...

Sean Combs

Party Lines

Was it the wrath of grapes, or just another New York Times fake news story? The full-page article was written by two mugs, a man and a woman, who even had the audacity to allow ...

To the Victor

I don’t mean to sound like a sore loser, but while Netanyahu is prancing around the ring with arms raised high à la Rocky, it was an ultimatum from the IDF’s high command ...
