Robert Bork wrote a book entitled Slouching Towards Gomorrah in the 1990s. I haven’t read it, but the title tells me all that I need to know. For those of you who are Biblically illiterate, Gomorrah and Sodom were ancient cities that were destroyed by God for their great wickedness. Bork evidently believed that America […]
Mike Johnson, newly elected Speaker of the House of Representatives, is already experiencing a progressive assault. He was relatively unknown to them prior to his election, but several facts were sufficient to damn him in their sight. First, he is known to be associated with those more conservative (radical right-wing) members of the Republican Party […]
In a recent interview Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut opined that the moral cost for Israel is too high when one considers the probability of 8,000 civilian deaths, including 3,000 children, as it continues it assault on Gaza. Other Democrat Party leaders are also suggesting a temporary ceasefire. What would Murphy have advised in August […]
My son Harold sent an e-mail in which he outlined the history of the Israeli struggle for existence. These are his thoughts. Just before the end of World War II in 1945, many of the allies began supporting the idea of the creation of a homeland for Jewish people. There were about 10 million people […]
I believe that it is imperative that the Republicans win the 2024 Presidential election and then win both the Senate and the House. The radical left dominates the Democratic Party, and the thought of four more years of those people in control is too horrible to contemplate. They are destroying the country. Unfortunately, the Republicans […]
Yesterday, October 25, 2023, Mike Johnson was elected as Speaker of the House of Representatives. From all that I can learn of the man, he was a fortuitous choice, and the House may be well served by his leadership. He is reputed to be a devout Christian, a patriot, and a good husband and father. […]
It is difficult to confront orthodoxy of any kind. Its defenders use any means, fair or foul, to defend generally accepted theory, doctrine, or practice. We have seen countless examples of this over the years. Consider the problems of Copernicus and Galileo as they challenged the ancient geocentric view of the universe. Over the past […]
Every civilized person is shocked by the horrors that just took place in Israel. It reminds me of the actions of Japanese soldiers in Nanking in 1937 and in Hong Kong in 1941. I was a young boy at that time, and I remember the newsreels. In Nanking these monsters took delight in murdering 200,000 […]
In late February 1953 I arrived in Japan, and shortly thereafter I was assigned to the Headquarters Company , 24th Infantry Division, in Sendai, Japan. The 24th Division had been one of the first American units committed to the Korean War and had been severely mauled during the early fighting. One of its three infantry […]
One of my sons and I recently exchanged emails regarding Trump. He was particularly disturbed by recent accusations by General John Kelly, former chief of staff to PresidentTrump, saying that Trump was guilty of disparaging men and women who had served our nation in war, avoided being photographed with wounded veterans because of image concerns, […]
