If you don’t believe evil exists, you might as well stop reading and continue to believe that gun control will cure all of society’s ills. I wrote about this at the time of the Sandy Hook shooting, and I’m writing again because the left doesn’t seem to get the point. Having worked as an attorney […]

I stole this title from Ken Hamblin’s very fine book because I couldn’t come up with a better title that would fit this post. I thought of calling it “I’m Sick And Tired Of A Bunch Of Overpaid Millionaire Testosterone-Driven Malcontents Who Wear A Uniform And Throw Around A Football For A Living Showing Disrespect […]

Let me start off by saying that I’ve come to the point where I hate the word “diversity.” When I worked in the Los Angeles Dependency Court in the 90s, we were subjected to lunchtime speakers who lectured us about diversity – blacks, women, Native Americans, gays – you name it and we had to […]

I was listening last week to Glenn Beck discussing the Charlie Gard situation with Bill O’Reilly. During the conversation, Glenn asked Bill if he had read the “official statement” from the Pope. Neither Bill nor I had read the actual statement. The Pope apparently said this was a “complicated matter” and the wishes of the […]

I like to keep things simple. There was a time, in the not too distant past, when girls were girls, boys were boys. Girls had girl parts and boys had boy parts. They grew up and women continued to have vaginas and men continued to have penises. There were males and there were females. Period. […]
Posted on August 1, 2015 by Leona in Bias-Free Language Guide, culture, political correctness
I often wonder what type of person wakes up in the morning wondering, “What will offend me today?” Well, I found out this week. The Bias-Free Language Guide was written and edited by Sylvia Foster, Szu-Hui Lee, Joelle Ruby Ryan, Sean Moundas and the Women’s Commission members in the 1990s who drafted the “Guide to […]
Posted on June 30, 2015 by Leona in culture, election day 2016, gay marriage, LGBT, Supreme Court
Once again, the Supreme Court failed to exercise “judicial restraint” and opted to actively legislate from the bench by deciding that homosexuals have a “right” to marry in the case of Obergefell v. Hodges. Five unelected lawyers decided to do away with our democratic process and power of our legislatures and redefine the word “marriage” […]

The other day when I turned on my computer and loaded my Yahoo page, it read, in bold letters: “Bruce Jenner Gender Change Captures US Attention.” Capture (v.) 1. to take captive; seize or catch by force or craft. 2. to win possession or control of, as in a contest. 3. to succeed in preserving […]

Well, in my opinion, at George Washington University, not much. A few weeks ago, the Young America’s Foundation, interviewed some students there, and the video shows the results. Only 6 out of 30 students knew that we’d be commemorating 9/11 the following week. How could any 18-22 year old NOT know about 9/11? My 6-year […]
Posted on August 26, 2014 by Leona in culture, LGBT, political correctness, politics, religious intolerance, society
This is a perfect example of how political correctness has run amok in this country. One person is “offended” by something, so the rest of us – who are in the vast majority – have to cowtow to that one person. We see it everyday in other situations where a small minority of people, such […]
