My son Stuart recently asked me who was my favorite President. My answer is Ronald Reagan. Reagan was far from being the most intelligent man to hold that high office, but his general good sense should not be underestimated. When confronted with difficult decisions he usually made the right choice, and he surrounded himself with […]

The assassination of President John Kennedy on November 22, 1963, is forever seared into to memories of those old enough to remember it.  Every citizen above five or six years old at that time probably recalls how and when he or she first heard the news.  For the next several days the nation was in […]

Some of Donald Trump’s former associates have turned against him and are not supporting his reelection efforts. One of the latest defectors is Jenna Ells, formerly one of Trump’s election lawyers. Ellis is now saying publicly she does not support the former president, calling him a “malignant narcissist” who cannot admit mistakes. On the other […]

Speaker McCarthy recently announced an impeachment inquiry regarding President Biden. Many people, including most Democrats and their supporters in the media, describe the inquiry as a waste of time and totally unjustified.

I have been deeply concerned by the actions of the Justice Department, the courts, and Congress in dealing with the so-called insurrection of January 6, 2021. I realize that some people apparently consider that event to have been an almost unprecedented threat to our Democracy, but I believe they are wrong. Only a few hundred […]

(I wrote this article the day before Speaker McCarthy annouunced that he was opening an impeachment inquiry into the actvities of Joseph Biden.. I am pleased that he decided to go forward with this in the face of some differences of opinion in Republican ranks. The stonewalling actions of Attorney General Garland and other members […]
