New podcast: Colin Flaherty and Willie Shields Take the Kaepernick …

Thomas Sowell:

Reading Colin Flahertys book made painfully clear to me that the magnitude of this problem is greater than I had discovered from my own research. He documents both the race riots and the media and political evasions in dozens of cities. National Review.

"Colin Flaherty was the reporters reporter -- especially on tough stories. And he was recognized for it with more than 50 journalism awards from around the country.

"Now he has written a book about the toughest story of all: Racial violence."

"Flaherty has the goods: This is an important and penetrating book about a big problem. Read it. Pass it around. Send it to a local talk show host or, better still, a reporter."

"Lord knows they need it."

White Girl Bleed a Lot has gone viral.

A favorite of conservative voices.

"Flaherty digs up some great examples of officials denying or covering up black violence.

My favorite example was a school superintendent in Philadelphia who circulated "a pamphlet on how not to antagonize black students" to Asian students while the local papers were busying explaining that the violence had "no racial component." Right."

Brilliant. Could not put it down.

Colin Flaherty has become Public Enemy No.1 to the leftist media because of his research on black culture of violence.

It is official: Colin Flaherty is a great American. A wonderful book.

Bretibart.com: Prescient. Ahead of the News. Garnering attention and sparking important discussions.

At least author Colin Flaherty is tackling this issue (or racial violence) in his new book, White Girl Bleed a Lot: The Return of Racial Violence to America and How the Media Ignore it.

A determined reporter, Colin Flaherty, broke ranks to document these rampages in a book titled, White Girl Bleed A Lot

"Uh - oh Now youve done it Mr. Flaherty. Youve spoken the (gasp) truth!"

"Get your copy of the book and spread the word. This tsunami of black racial violence is domestic terrorism. Burying our heads in the sand and ignoring this reality will only put ourselves and the lives of our loved ones in danger.""I refuse to be intimidated and terrorized. Join me!"

In White Girl Bleed A Lot, Colin Flaherty bravely goes where the major media dare not follow. In short, he tells the truth about Americas otherwise unspoken epidemic of black on non-black crime.What makes this otherwise grim saga so readable is Flahertys magical sense of humor. Among contemporary authors only Flahertys fellow alchemist Mark Steyn has a comparable ability to transform dread into gold.

In conservative media, Colin Flaherty has catalogued the Knockout Game.

Colin Flaherty is at the epicenter of the Knockout Game.

"This is a challenging book. An interesting and powerful and ultimately persuasive book by a great American writer not afraid to look at one of the most thought about but unspoken features of American life."

"Colin Flaherty is a strong favorite."

"Great book by a great guy."

Colin Flaherty: Disgusting Dog Abuse – Be Aware Consequences …

Colin Flaherty Commentary News Video "Man Fatally Shot By Neighbor After Alleged Dog Pee Argument, Witnesses Say" and "Animal Rescue Says Pit Bull Dumped in South L.A. Died After Suffering Physical, Sexual Abuse" and "Man Fatally Shot After He Steps in to Help Puppy Being Held by the Throat, Fiance Says"https://chicago.cbslocal.com/2018/08/07/fatally-shot-dog-pee-argument/By Charlie De MarAugust 7, 2018 at 10:25 pmOne of the victims of gun violence this past weekend died, allegedly, over something as small as a dog relieving itself on someone elses property.

Police say the fatal shooting happened in the 7700 block of South Shore on August 3 around 8:45 p.m. The victim was struck in the left arm and chest and pronounced dead on the scene.

The puppies were peeing on the porch. The pee ran down the porch to the neighbors, he explained.

Despite several witnesses, police say no arrest have been made in this case.

https://ktla.com/2018/08/08/animal-rescue-says-pit-bull-dumped-in-south-l-a-died-after-suffering-physical-sexual-abuse/POSTED 11:09 PM, AUGUST 8, 2018, BY KACEY MONTOYA AND ERIKA MARTIN, UPDATED AT 11:10PM, AUGUST 8, 2018An animal rescue group is calling for an investigation after a pit bull who was adopted two weeks ago died from what animal advocates believe was physical and sexual abuse after being found injured in South Los Angeles on Monday.

The 5-year-old dog, Cargo, was dumped in front of a house on the 200 block of West 85th Street in the Florence neighborhood, according to Dianty Marquez of Ghetto Rescue Ffoundation, an Anaheim Hills-based animal nonprofit associated with police in the great L.A. area.

A resident who wished to remain anonymous said neighbors reported seeing two African-American men who "dropped it off there and just left." The woman said she couldn't get ahold of any city or county animal control officials to respond, so she reached out to Ghetto Rescue.

"That's when we got word that there had been some trauma in her vaginal area," Marquez said, "and they made her as comfy as they could."

But by Tuesday morning, the pit bull had taken a turn for the worse. "She passed because she had some type of blunt force trauma and it caused her aorta to rupture," Marquez said.

The dog was microchipped, and Ghetto Rescue took that information and began investigating.

Mr. Wilson said something to Mr. Drennon about how he was carrying his dog, and as a result, somehow it ended up with Drennon pulling a gun and shooting Mr. Wilson, Smyrna Police Sgt. Bobby Gibson tells PEOPLE.

I dropped my phone and went running out there to see Rob saying, Why are you doing that? she recalled, and the guy said it was his puppy, and he just shot him.

Colin Flaherty: Toledo – Juveniles Taking Over the …

Toledo Ohio - Rampaging Juveniles Taking Over Terrorizing the Neighborhood - Colin Flaherty reviews and gives commentary on news with headlines "Neighbors call for action on teen issues in West Toledo" and "Neighbors try new approach to deal with juveniles"[links and excerpts below]http://www.wtol.com/story/38537457/ne...Published: Thursday, June 28th 2018, 9:30 pm CDTUpdated: Friday, June 29th 2018, 12:17 pm CDTBy Blair Caldwell, ReporterTOLEDO, OH (WTOL) -It's nothing new that neighbors near Asbury Park have been dealing with unruly juveniles for at least a year now.

But they say things have gotten worse this summer.

Surveillance video shows three younger kids walking by their day care and stopping near their damaged window and then the video shows the three running away in the opposite building.

"It's not a comfortable feeling," said Gladys Green, owner of Little Generation Day Care. "We have children here 2 1/2 to 12."

"I would like to say that the day care incident surprises me, but to be honest it doesn't," said Liz Zolla, a neighbor living nearby. "Like honestly that's what the neighborhood has been dealing with for the past year."

Zolla said she is moving out of the neighborhood because of these issue. The issues include disrespecting property, stealing park benches, egging cars and running havoc through the streets.

http://www.wtol.com/story/38616479/ne...Published: Tuesday, July 10th 2018, 10:18 pm CDTUpdated: Tuesday, July 10th 2018, 10:33 pm CDTBy Blair Caldwell, ReporterTOLEDO, OH (WTOL) -It's an issue neighbors in west Toledo said they are angry about. Juveniles taking over their neighborhood and causing problem after problem. So many problems in fact, some neighbors didn't want their name or face to appear in our story for fear of retaliation.

"I can honestly say I don't feel safe in the neighborhood anymore," said one elderly neighbor who has lived there for more than 50 years.

"It's constant 911 calls, said Leslie. My daughter has been assaulted at the park by these children. It's not safe to go to the park and that sucks."

While neighbors are avoiding any contact with the teens, they want to take back their streets. They called in some help from Toledo Police and the Juvenile Prosecutor at their block watch meeting Tuesday night. Their advice for neighbors was simple.

"If you don't call it didn't happen because we don't know about it, said Toledo Police Officer Slay. We want your call."

Lori Olender, the Lucas County Juvenile Prosecutor said the system has changed from years past. They seek to keep teens out of jail, but she says she is doing her best to help.

"All you can do is call the police, explained Olender. You have to know that our hands are tied unless you actually see somebody commit a crime and you know it is them, that's the hard part."

While any advice will help, some neighbors were disappointed knowing more couldnt be done.

"I was pretty mad, said one neighbor who feels personally attacked by some of the violence. Basically, these juveniles are going to take over our neighborhoods."

Colin Flaherty Commentary Video on black people checking doors and robbing cars. Also News "Iraq war veteran, father of 2 killed in Hoover identified" and "Charleston Wells found not guilty in death of Hoover father, veteran Mike Gilotti"

http://www.wbrc.com/story/30887987/iraq-war-veteran-father-of-2-killed-in-hoover-identified/By Julie Rockett, Melynda Schauer, and Rick Journey | January 5, 2016 at 2:27 PM CST - Updated July 2 at 6:40 AMGilotti's wife said she worried about his safety every day he served in Iraq. He came home safely only to have his life taken as he walked out of their front door, six days before their eighth wedding anniversary.

Hoover police believe Gilotti's death may be connected to a series of at least 10 car break-ins that were reported in the same neighborhood.

Hoover police spokesperson Captain Gregg Rector said the 33-year-old homeowner was fatally shot as he was leaving for the gym. Rector said it's possible Gilotti may have encountered someone who was trying to break into cars on his street.

Rector said Gilotti was shot once in the upper body, collapsed in front of his home and died at the scene.

Rector said the victim's wife called 911 to report the shooting. After police began to investigate the homicide, they began getting the reports of car break-ins.

All 10 of the break-ins investigated so far happened to cars that were unlocked, Captain Rector said. Police on the scene of the homicide discovered some of the car break-ins and others were reported by neighbors in the area.

All About Jack: A C.S. Lewis Podcast

19Aug

IN THIS REPEAT: The 5th podcast from the six-part series; it focuses on misconceptions.

This is the fifth podcast episode in the series on "Misquotes and Misconceptions." Returning guest host for this show is Rev. David Beckmann. Previously he was interviewed about a video series he produced entitled C.S. Lewis on Prayer (link below). This time he asks William O'Flaherty questions about a couple of confusing aspects of Lewis' life. The topics are listed below (that also link to an article online) to help you better understand the issue that is questioned.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

IN THIS REPEAT: The fourth in a series on Lewis Misquotes and Misconceptions about him.

This is the fourth podcast episode in the series on "Misquotes and Misconceptions." Returning guest host for this show is Corey Latta. Previously he helped with the second program and he was also interviewed about a book he wrote entitled C.S. Lewis and the Art of Writing (link below). This time he asks William O'Flaherty questions about quotations credited to Lewis that are mostly close to what he did write. These are usually paraphrases of what Lewis wrote. The key words of those sayings are listed below (that also link to an article online) to help you better understand the quote in question.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

IN THIS REPEAT: My third of a six part series dealing with misquotes and misconceptions.

This is the third podcast episode in the series on "Misquotes and Misconceptions." Guest host for this show is Rev. David Beckmann. Previously he was interviewed about a video series he produced entitled C.S. Lewis on Prayer (link below). This time he asks William O'Flaherty questions about quotations credited to Lewis that he did not write. You will find the key words of those sayings listed below (that also link to an article online) about the quote in question. Also, in the show itself, actual quotes from Lewis are shared that are the closest thing he said on the given topic.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

IN THIS REPEAT: My second show of a six-part series aboiut misquotes and misconceptions.

This podcast episode continues the series begun last time. Guest host for this second show is Dr. Corey Latta. Previously he was interviewed about a book he wrote entitled C.S. Lewis and the Art of Writing (link below). This time he asks William O'Flaherty questions about quotations credited to Lewis that he did not write. You will find the key words of those sayings listed below (that also link to an article online) about the quote in question. Also with most of the expressions, in the show itself, it is revealed the closest thing Lewis said on the subject.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

IN THIS REPEAT: The debut episode of the series Explorling Lewis Misquotes and Misconceptions.

If you have been on social media over the last few years then you have probably seen a quotation attributed to Lewis from someone that you wondered if he actually wrote. That happen to me time and time again; so much that I began to collect them as I researched whether or not Lewis wrote the quote in question. That led to a blog series examining each quotation (see link below). More recently I began collecting information related to the life of Lewis and his writings that are misunderstood and started a blog series on this (link also below). This led me to considering what you now see, the first of a six-part episode chatting about these topics. This initial show provides an overview of all the subjects address in the other programs. Guest host for today is Dr. Crystal Hurd.

IN THIS REPEAT: Here's a short talk from William O'Flaherty from 2015 examining quotes attributed to Lewis...are they really from him?

C.S. Lewis wrote many statements that standalone as great short quotations. However, some quotes when isolated from their context are actually problematic. That is, apart from their setting they often yield a very different understanding of what Lewis meant. Then there are quotes attributed to Lewis that are actually a incorrect paraphrase of something he wrote. This podcast explores these issues. It is William O'Flaherty presenting a twenty minute paper at the recent CSLIS conference that was held in Grove City, PA this year (late March, 2015). See below to read the actual paper and listen to a previous talk about quotations falsely attributed to Lewis.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

IN THIS REPEAT: An earlier program from 2012 about a lost Lewis story that is a different version of one already known.

This book interview is from 2012, but it had not yet been featured here since changing the podcast audio hosting. It is a conversation with Dr. Charlie W. Starr and his book Light: C.S. Lewis's First and Final Short Story. It tells the story of how a manuscript surfaced that appeared to be a different version of a short story called "The Man Born Blind." The book reveals the results of his investigation and includes several interpretations of "Light." The interview was recorded at the 2012 C.S. Lewis Colloquium at Taylor University.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

IN THIS REPEAT:I usually don't stray too far from material related to Lewis, but here's somewhat of an except. A fictional work by a Lewis scholar that had inspiration from him.

IN THIS REPEAT: An interview aboutThe Faun's Bookselfby Dr. Charlie Starr..A new book that released last month.

The Faun's Bookshelf is an interesting title that explores, as part of the subtitle reveals, "Why Myth Matters." Dr. Charlie Starr, the author, uses books C.S. Lewis mentions on Mr. Tumnus's bookshelf as the framework to examine what myth means and how it teaches us about reality. This interviewed was recorded on the campus of Taylor University the day before the 11th Frances W. Ewbank Colloquium, where he gave one of the keynote talks. Even though Charlie goes into a lot of deal about his book in this interview, you will learn even more about myth by purchasing his book (direct link given below). Speak thanks to Dr. Crystal Hurd who voiced the endorsement given at the start and also an except from Charlie's book.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

IN THIS REPEAT: My 2013 interview with Colin Duriez on his biography on Lewis.

IN THE REPEAT: Another great resource from Colin Duriez from a few years ago.

Many books came out in 2013 on C.S. Lewis (the 50th anniversary of his death). Two alone actually came from Colin Duriez. Im repeating the interview I did about his second because my previous place of hosting my audio files no longer has it there. The book is called The A Z of C.S. Lewis: A Complete Guide to His Life, Thoughts and Writings. It takes an encyclopedic approach to the topic and thus provides a person to aspects of Lewiss life and writings that might be left unnoticed. In this interview Colin provides details about the layout of the book and shares some selections from it.

IN THIS REPEAT: Interview with Colin Duriez about his bookThe Oxford Inklings.

Colin Duriez has written about C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien many times over his writing career as an expert on the two. But only this year (2015) has he come out with a book exploring the two of them along with a group of other friends who often met twice a week. The Oxford Inklings takes a look at the origins of this group that is often falsely called a "writer's group." In this chat with William O'Flaherty, he explains why it was much more while giving insightful details about the lives of the key members of this influential circle.

IN THIS REPEAT: My show with Dr. Holly Ordway about new new apologetics book.

New for 2017 is a book by Dr. Holly Ordway entitled Apologetics and the Christian Imagination: An Integrated Approach to Defending the Faith. This podcast interview gives an overview of Hollys belief that both reason and imagination should be used for the most effective defense of the Christian faith. She has previously been on All About Jack for a couple of Essay Chat podcasts and co-hosted a series dealing with The Narnia Code, and talking about her spiritual autobiography Not Gods Type.

IN THIS REPEAT: My most recent new episode about a talk Corey Latta gave in June 2018.

- - - -

Dr. Corey Latta, author of C.S. Lewis and the Art of Writing, gave a talk at The Marion E. Wade Center during the recent 2018 C.S. Lewis Institute Summer Conference. "Writing Outside of the Inner Ring" is the revised title he told me when giving me permission to share his presentation. While sharing candidly about his own experiences, he uses Lewis's essay, "The Inner Ring" and several letters from 1930 to talk about motivation for writing (and other creative endeavors) and how to stay focused during times of discouragement.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

IN THIS REPEAT: My last short talk (paper) at Taylor University...it's about my book,The Misquotable C.S. Lewis.

---------

I gave the following short talk on Friday, June 1, 2018 at the Taylor University Colloquium. My brief presentation was part of a variety of academic papers that were presented. The full title of my talk was Surprised By Misquotes: Unexpected Findings from The Misquotable C. S. Lewis. In it, I share some of the unusual details from my years of researching quotations credited to Lewis that he did not write. This talk, however, only gives a small snapshot of what is in the book.
