The longer the rioting and looting goes on in America the more irrational and random it becomes. Not only are the icons celebrated by the ultra-left and CNN clearly not the sort of characters that anyone with pretensions to a “better world” would want to be seen next nor near – regardless of how they […]
Just when it seemed that President Donald Trump was heading for an inevitable defeat to Joe Biden, there are signs that he may indeed be turning things around. The polls following the Democrat convention which began on Monday evening will be interesting, as will those in the week after the Republican convention next weekend. As […]

The brother of George Floyd, whose horrific death in police custody has sparked global protests, has called on rioters and looters to stop the violence saying their actions would not bring his brother back. Speaking publicly for the first time, Terrence Floyd knelt and cried and prayed at the intersection in Minneapolis where his brother […]
