As he prepares to take office, President-elect Trump threatens to use tariffs as a diplomatic weapon in dealing with foreign states and to protect American industries from foreign competition. Now comes the backlash. The free-trade advocates, Democrat and Republican, are howling. For the last hundred years the belief in free trade has had a broad […]
Japan attacked China in 1937, and its military forces were guilty of increasingly hideous brutality, culminating in the “Nanking Massacre” of December 1937. Even German observers, no strangers to evil, were shocked as Japanese soldiers committed countless brutal rapes, bayonetted or decapitated up to 40 thousand Chinese prisioners or war, and engaged in other senseless […]
Several facts seem obvious. The Ukraine is gradually losing the conflict. Their troops are outnumbered and have suffered enormous casualties. There are also reports of a serious level of desertions in the Ukrainian army. The United States and some European states have contributed support, but not enough to stem the Russian tide. If NATO and […]
I am writing this on Thanksgiving Day, and I have so much to be thankful for. Let me name but a few. I was born into a loving family more than 95 years ago. I was blessed with a wonderful mother and father, four brothers, and three sisters, all of whom were very dear to […]
During the November 21 Men’s Forum discussion some in the group said that statistics seem to support the idea that migrants commit crimes at a lower rate than native-born Americans. I did not respond at that time, but I was reminded of a statement attributed to Mark Twain, “There are three kinds of lies: Lies, […]
I was delighted with Trump’s victory on November 5. I realize that the incoming administration will face many difficult challenges, and it may fail to realize the hopes of its supporters; but it least it offers some possibility of progress. A Harris victory would have meant a continuation of the same tired programs that I […]
I am now situated in my new abode in the Charlestown Retirement Village at 719 Maiden Choicxe Lane, Apt BR139, Catonsville, Maryland, 21228. Charlestown is a nice place and very well run. I believe I will enjoy it here. Thus far I have been very much engaged in unpacking and trying to find a new […]
I read somewhere that an prominent Englishman visited America in the early 1900s and on returning home said that while in America he had observed two marvelous works of nature. One was Niagara Falls. The other was Teddy Roosevelt. Trump reminds me of Theodore Roosevelt. Both men have been noted for their tremendous energy. Donald […]
We have one more week until the final day of this election campaign. I am praying fervently for a Trump victory. To me, the present Democrat Party leadership represents globalism and a rejection of our Judeo-Christian heritage. They run on a pro-abortion (pro-choice) platform combined with a vicious and largely untrue attack on Donald Trump […]
I have listened to several Trump speeches during the past year. I usually don’t listen long, because he tends to express the same thoughts over and over again. His campaign events are essentially pep-rallies. The Democrats accuse Trump of being a serial liar. I disagree. Trump is a serial exaggerator. Rarely if ever do I […]
