Unca Darrell

NOVEMBER 27 / Here are some words and ideas that belong, some or all . . .

. . . in any honest "Castro is dead" editorial:

Communist. This one stands alone. An editorial that cannot call him a communist is, on its face . . . 

NOVEMBER 22 / The question is not . . .

. . . whether to approve or disapprove a controversial new Mexican-American studies textbook for use in Texas public schools. (It has been disapproved.) The question is . . . 

NOVEMBER 16 / Meet Unca Darrell in the flesh . . .

. . . at Czech Center Museum Houston, 6:00 p.m. Saturday, November 19.  

The event opens my photography exhibit -- "Day of the Lilacs: The Liberation of Western Czechoslovakia by the U.S. Third Army."

I will also lecture on Czechoslovakia's place in the history of World War II.

• How France and Great Britain surrendered the county to the leader of the National Socialist German Workers Party (the "Nazis") in 1938. 
• The brutality of the occupation by the German Waffen Schutzstaffel (the "SS"). 
• How on May 6, 1945, Czechs ran into the streets to greet their American liberators with gifts of food and beer, with kisses, and with armloads of lilacs.

The liberation was militarily insignificant. The war in Europe would end two days later. So why did . . .

NOVEMBER 10 / The seduction of Trump begins

THE LEFT's kinder, gentler approach to Donald John Trump is brilliant. Ms. Clinton, President Obama -- all spoke well of him yesterday. Today's he's having coffee with the president of the United States, who smiles, gazes raptly into his eyes, gently touches his arm, and treats him with respect.

Many on the left are still working through their grief. See, for example, today's sneering editorial . . .

NOVEMBER 9 / Three observations about the revenge of the Deplorables

AS MR. TRUMP's numbers rose last night, the faces of reporters, anchors, and commentators on PBS, ABC, CBS, NBC, and the rest fell. By 11 p.m. our time, some were almost crying.

David Brooks gets Unca D award for biggest hissy fit of the night, as he . . . 

NOVEMBER 8 / Can Trump win? Here are the . . .

. . . closing numbers:

NOVEMBER 6 / Two days out, can Trump win?

THE POLLS say probably not. The Electoral College map says maybe.  

NOVEMBER 4 / Can Trump win? Probably not, but . . .
