Your Tax Dollars Are About to Fund Religious Schools, Salafist Madrassas and Satanic Temples

Feb 1, 2025 | flaglerlive.com | Pierre Tristam

Let’s examine why Saudi Arabia’s Islamists are so aroused over the U.S. Supreme Court’s 6-3 ruling by June that using public money to fund religious madrassas is perfectly fine. The court took on the case last week from Oklahoma, where an online Catholic school, St. Isidore of Seville, but really more of 7501 NW Expressway in Oklahoma City, across from Home Depot and the Mattress Firm Clearance Center, sued after it was denied a charter and tax dollars.
American Trilogy: OJ Simpson, Louis Farrakhan, Donald Trump

Jan 25, 2025 | flaglerlive.com | Pierre Tristam

On Oct. 3, 1995, after a trial that had lasted as long as a presidential election campaign, a jury found O.J. Simpson not guilty of murdering Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. Blacks cheered. Whites were horrified and angered that Blacks cheered. Blacks cheered even louder at whites being horrified. All they saw was white derangement syndrome.

Jimmy Carter's One Hundred Years of Solitude

Dec 29, 2024 | flaglerlive.com | Pierre Tristam

In January 1977 the nuns where we used to attend church in Lebanon gifted me the only dog I ever owned, a mutt they’d called Jimmy, after the newly elected American president. American politics was the world’s most accessible entertainment even then, so Jimmy Carter was big news in Lebanon. To those Antonine nuns Carter was something of a sex symbol. He wore his Christianity on his sleeve with a leer worthy of Mary Magdalene, allowing them to lust for him in their heart.
The Baalbek Ruins, Israeli Edition

Dec 1, 2024 | flaglerlive.com | Pierre Tristam

In 2011, when I had reached the age that took my dear father Fouad’s life (46), I wrote a piece about one of my fondest memories with him: our rare trips to Baalbek, city of Roman ruins at the northeast edge of Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley. The Bekaa is Lebanon’s granary, a vast flat Great Plains in miniature, a high plateau of Iowa-grade arable land for millennia given over to growing the hashish that gave the Assassins their name, but also wheat, citrus, veggies and grapes for Lebanon’s great wines.
Flagler and Gomorrah

Nov 8, 2024 | flaglerlive.com | Pierre Tristam

Sheriff Staly very considerately gave me a call the morning after the end of the world to ask if I needed a Baker Act. It was close, I told him, but I wasn’t quite there yet, and that authentic champagne I bought in case Harris won isn’t going to drink itself. It’s not like I didn’t see it coming. Five days before the election I predicted the outcome down to the electoral vote count, which is proving nauseatingly accurate. It’s like when you’re at a dying beloved’s bedside.
Why Trump Beat Harris By 312 Electoral Votes

Nov 1, 2024 | flaglerlive.com | Pierre Tristam

Speaking in Sioux Center a few days before the Iowa Caucuses in 2016, Donald Trump did something more rare than a sighting of Halley’s comet: he made a true statement: “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose any voters, OK? It’s, like, incredible.” It is.
