The maestro Otto Klemperer is considered to be among greatest conductor/composers of his generation. His son, Werner, however would surpass all his achievements by playing Colonel Klink on Hogan’s Heroes.
Oh if only Otto had conducted the show’s theme song. What transcendental art that would have been.
Did you know the theme actually has lyrics?
Embittered U.S. Women’s soccer player Megan Rapinoe explained why she had no problem disrespecting the national anthem and her nation.
“Because I’m as talented as I am, I get to be here,” she said. “You don’t get to tell me if I can be here or not.”
You know Megan, if you get your way and the Democrats win in 2020 and they pass that law they are trying to pass letting males claiming to be females have by-right access to women’s athletic competitions, will you still be talented enough to “be here”?
Sarah Honeychurch Attacked By The Sick And Evil — Swarthmore free speech activist Bob Small has informed us of some twisted news from the U.K.
Sarah Honeychurch, a fellow in the Adam Smith Business School at Glasgow University, has criticized an LGBT training program pushed by the rich and powerful in that country on the grounds that the claims it makes are “anti-scientific” yet are presented as an “objective fact.”
Pretty reasonable objection.
So why are there serious calls for her to lose her job?
Do sick and evil perverts predominate among the rich and powerful?
OK, silly question.
For the rest of us, let us stand up for the principle that bullies are always bad whether they are picking on a gay guy or attacking an honest dissenter speaking truth to power.
The program is run by the charity Stonewall.

Wall Street gets its name from a wooden wall the Dutch put up. It was not meant to keep out the Indians but the English.

Val DiGiorgio Quits Due To Sex Scandal — Told ya so told ya so told ya so told ya so Told ya so told ya so told ya so told ya so Told ya so told ya so told ya so told ya so Told ya so told ya so told ya so told ya so Told ya so told ya so told ya so told ya so
Val DiGiorgio, the Pennsylvania Republican boss who we are convinced has been some kind of saboteur since his days as Chester County GOP chairman, has been caught carrying on sexting relationship with Republican Philadelphia City Council candidate Irina Goldstein.
Yes, it reportedly involves an explicit picture of an excited Little Val.
How stupid can people be?
Val is married as we have noted before.
He resigned today his post as Pennsylvania GOP Chairman and submitted a letter saying “It is with regret, after much thought and consideration, that I am resigning as chairman of the Republican Party of Pennsylvania effective immediately.”
He said “A recent media report contains gross mischaracterizations of mutual consensual communications between myself and a former primary candidate. My resignation should in no way be confused with confirmation of these mischaracterization.”
A new chairman will be picked sometime this summer.
Lawrence Tabas, a well-admired and wise attorney with deep Republican roots, apparently also saw DiGiorgio for what he is and took him on in 2017 in the fight to lead the Pennsylvania Republicans. Tabas lost by just two votes despite intense pressure from party insiders to vote for DiGiorgio.
Tabas would make a great replacement.
Wonder how the gang at Stradley Ronon is taking this? How about Val’s good buddy and Dem star Josh Shapiro? You know he’s not happy.
The Republicans might survive now in this state.
Note the Republicans in Val’s Chesco bailiwick were told not to mention Donald Trump just last April.
John Fredericks Hosted Billie — Firefighter and veteran Joe Billie, a blue collar guy who has thrown his hat in the ring to take on Democrat incumbent Mary Gay Scanlon in Pennsylvania’s 5th Congressional District race in 2020, was a guest on this morning’s The John Fredericks Show.
Joe says he was motivated to run by veterans matters and policies that ignored the elderly.
Good point Joe.
Hey Mary Gay, how much would the plans of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren to forgive the student debt of white suburban college grads take from the elderly, veterans and blue collar people? You support the idea right? You certainly haven’t criticized it.
Fredericks encouraged Joe but said he had an uphill battle in 5th which was redistricted by the Democrat state Supreme Court in 2018 to give the area a heavy D-tilt.
Mary Gay might be more vulnerable than is thought. She’s been offering pablum on immigration while joining her party in stopping every necessary step by the Trump administration to resolve the crisis.
What is the problem with giving the Border Patrol whatever it wants whether it be a wall or more facilities for children who have been separated from the adults they were with and who may not necessarily be their parents? Why not say you support those who have been ordered by courts to be deported to be arrested and deported?
You can’t say that, can you?
Yeah, the Rs have a chance to flip the district if they fight. Joe is willing. Let him at it.
