As a young man of college age, I thought of myself as a liberal Democrat. As a young husband and father in the late 1950s I began considering myself a conservative Democrat, but I would vote for whom I considered the best candidate in every election. I voted for John Kennedy in 1960, and I […]
Wreck of the Sea Venture 1609 Samuel Jordan was evidently the first Jordan to settle in English America. Some reports say that Samuel was born in Lyme Regis, Dorsetshire, England, and his birth year is given as 1575 or 1578. Other sources indicate that he was born in the adjoining county of Wiltshire.

It’s obvious that President Trump wishes to end the Iranian conflict as quickly as possible. It has gone on longer rhan he wished and it interferes with his MAGA program. Unfortunately, Itan’s fractured leadership makes a negotiated peace very difficult to attain. Despite our overwhelming military dominance, The IRGC wishes to continue the fight, and they […]

However, that was only part of Napoleon’s wide ranging interests and activities. He left an indelible mark on French society through his legal and other reforms. His […]
TDS (The Trump Derangement Syndrome) reached a new level of absurdity as a small group of citizens gathered near the Lincoln memorial reflecting pool to protest the removal of scum. They described their mission as an attempt to protect the algae. Unfortunately, the hatred of Trump runs so deep that anything he does is likely […]
