I only recently understood how unfair and financially debilitating the massive ruling of Judge Engoron against Trump in a New York court truly is. In addition to the more than 350 million dollars in fines, the Judge imposed another 100 million in interest, a total of almost half a billion dollars. To make matters worse, […]
Many years ago Al Capp created a cartoon character named Fearless Fosdick, an obvious spoof of fictional detective Dick Tracy. Fearless was extremely obsessive in his pursuit of justice and enforcing the law. I distinctly rememember the case of the poisoned beans. Somehow a can of poisoned beans had been put in the market and […]
Former President Trump was recently convicted in a New York court for fraudulent business practices. He was fined more than 350 million dollars and forbidden from doing business in that state for the next thee years. In cases such as this an injured party can receive damages up to three times their loss, but who […]
Race and racism remain a big issue in 2024. America has experienced a turbulent racial history. Blacks endured more than two hundred years of chattel slavery until freed by a bloody civil war. They continued to suffer legal and de facto discrimination for another hundred years. But that all changed during the past sixty years. […]
A third issue for 2024 is what to do about global warming. Despite nay-sayers, the reality of climate change should be obvious to everyone. The glaciers are melting, the icecaps are shrinking, and winters are becoming noticeably warmer. Many scientists blame this change on human activity that is causing a buildup of carbon in the Earth’s […]
Another big issue for 2024 is the border. The Biden Administration has allowed an unprecedented influx of foreign nationals into the United States. The United States is a nation of immigrants, but the number of undocumented and unvetted persons entering the country constitutes a growing threat to our society. We do not have the ability to properly accommodate […]
As we say goodbye to 2023, I look upon the new year with apprehension. No matter which way the political pendulum swings, I fear that we may experience a season of turmoil. I pray that we will emerge strong and united. However, there are powerful divisive currents abroad in this land, and it is hard to see how such […]
I know very little about Vivek Ramaswamy, Repubican candidate for President. His chances of being the party’s nominee are virtually nil. Nevertheless, he appears to be articulate and intelligent, a rare combination among present day politicians. Recently, in response to a black pastor’s challenge to Ramaswamy’s use of the term “reverse racism”, he gave a brilliant answer. After reviewing […]
A recent article in Cosmopolitan describes a Satanic Temple in New Mexico that has launched a new religious medical services arm, TST Health, to perform abortions. The Temple believes that aborting unborn babies is a religious ritual and compares it to communion or baptism for Christians. According to a press release from the group, “anyone […]
Twenty-one Democratic attorneys general have filed a brief seeking to block an Idaho law that prohibits transgender students from using public school restrooms and locker rooms that align with their gender identity. This clearly reveals a dividing line between Democrats and Republicans on this issue. Democrat lawmakers and officials almost always align themselves with the […]
