The story changes daily. No one except the Pelosis seem to have any idea what happened that infamous early Friday morning in San Francisco, when Nancy’s husband’s Paul had his head cracked open with a hammer by a drug-addled nut job. And the Pelosis’s account of it keeps permutating, with law enforcement obligingly doing same.Continue reading “What exactly is the story with Paul Pelosi?”

Better to bury it in landfills, just as we did 50 years ago. Of all people, after decades of claiming otherwise, Greenpeace has finally fessed up not only is there no benefit from recycling plastics, it is actually harmful to the environment. This, as reported by the excellent John Tierney at City Journal. Unfortunately, asContinue reading “Well, what do you know: Greenpeace now says recycling plastics is useless and a total waste of time and money.”

He doesn’t pull his punches. That establishment is right to regard him as a threat. For its guardians require strict conformity in dispensing their twisted gospel of “diversity” if they are to maintain their power and perquisites. Open the door just a little, let just a little sunlight in, and pow! The magic spell thatContinue reading “The estimable Roger Kimball on Elon Musk and Twitter.”

Bickerstaff inherited some antiques a while ago, among them a New England tall clock (above) made by an anonymous maker in the 1850s or possibly much earlier. After some pricey repairs and cleaning of the works by a superb clockmaker in Los Alamos, it now keeps extraordinarily good time, requiring at most a miniscule adjustmentContinue reading “On the lighter side (with a little bit of history).”

After elegantly explaining the causes of food price inflation (previous post), the president now shares his expertise on guns and ammunition. BIDEN: “My legislation says there can be no more than eight bullets in a round, okay?” 🤔 pic.twitter.com/LxmTk9EjyC — RNC Research (@RNCResearch) October 24, 2022

Running on empty. The people at Kellogg’s will not be pleased. Bickerstaff used to believe our commander-in-chief’s minders spoon fed him every remark he made in public. Not anymore: while most people at this point in the Biden presidency will not suggest members of the White House inner circle of possessing staggering intellects, most willContinue reading “If this video were not posted here, you would not believe he said it.”

Your Tatler watched a corker of a picture last night, 1957’s Sweet Smell of Success, starring Burt Lancaster and Tony Curtis, both of whom give the performances of their careers. One notable feature of this picture is there is not a single character with whom one may empathize, they are all simply awful people, butContinue reading “Sweet Smell of Success: an Appreciation.”

(The companion question to the one above so far remains free from controversy.) From Breitbart: ROME — The editors of the Wall Street Journal have published a searing indictment of Pope Francis, insisting he has undermined the Church’s moral authority by pandering to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The case in point is the Vatican’s renewal SaturdayContinue reading “These days the question requires careful thought: is the Pope Catholic?”

Relating to the post below, which concerns make-believe Catholic universities, a reader has sent Bickerstaff a link to a piece that concerns make-believe Catholic personages. Written by Fr. Jerry Pokorsky in Catholic Culture, it starts off with a bang by citing Luke 18: 9-14. (Note: Bickerstaff takes the liberty of  quoting from the King JamesContinue reading “Catholic Pharisees.”
