American Thinker: Is Geithner a Financial Genius? (No, Seriously)

 

Politicians in Washington are convinced that "green" cars are the salvation of American auto companies. There is some circumstantial evidence they may be right. But do we really believe that these politicians know more than hundreds of thousands of car salesmen, working across 50 states of varying terrain, affluence and transportation needs?

Cole's Notes 2020 - updating my site and getting things organized.

On being a "Retired" Journalist So here it is 2020 - I got out of 2019 with minimal damage. As you can tell - there's wasn't much going on on in 2019 for my Blogging. I did (and still do) most of my posting on Facebook. Both Quotes of the day and Column of the day are part of what I have been doing as a hobbyist communication and content creation blogger.

The modern landscape has reduced the noble craft of journalism to a fleeting cascade of clickbait, algorithmic outrage, and phantom feeds that harvest our attention and return little of lasting value.

Fifty years ago, I began my career as the youngest color darkroom technician and photojournalist at the Calgary Herald , helping transition that historic newsroom from the mechanical weight of hot metal type to offset lithography.

Islam's Hidden Role in the Transatlantic Slave Trade

February 6, 2020 Islam's Hidden Role in the Transatlantic Slave Trade By  Raymond Ibrahim From its inception, Islam's history with the West has been one of  unwavering antagonism and seismic clashes , often initiated by the former.  By the standards of history, nothing between the two civilizations is  as well documented as this long war .  Accordingly, for more than a millennium, both educated and not so educated Europeans knew — the latter perhaps instinctively — that Islam was a militant creed that for centuries attacked and committed atrocities in their homelands, all in the name of "holy war," or  jihad . These facts have been radically "updated" in recent times.  According to the dominant narrative — as upheld by mainstream media and Hollywood, pundits and politicians, academics and "experts" of all stripes — Islam was historically progressive and peaceful, whereas premodern Europe was fanatical and predatory. ...
