Justice in Peril

I fear for our country. Even if you think him to be a despicable person, there is no excuse for the indictment of former President Donald Trump on charges evidently based on the assertion that he paid hush-money to a prostitute in 2015 or 2016. Unless much more serious charges are revealed, this is an […]

A Bad Deal

There is an old maxim that says that a man who represents himself in court has a fool for a client.  Sometimes it’s even worse when you get a lawyer, The attorney who represented Jake Angeli, the QAnon Shaman, negotiated a plea-bargain on his behalf.   It was a terrible deal.  Angeli received a sentence of […]

Tucker Carlson Kicks the Hornets’ Nest

I watched the Monday evening Tucker Carlson show with great interest. Tucker and his team of technicians had been given access to the January 6 tapes of the so-called insurrection.  Out of these hours of video footage, Tucker chose a few snippets in order to make the following points: On the day following Carlson’s program […]

A Wise Comment

The following comment was in response to my most recent post. I repost it here, without attribution, because I believe the writer is absolutely correct. Everyone should take notice. “It is difficult to lay the blame on one group, but the journalism profession I think is a good place to start. It has failed its […]

Problems in the DOJ

I have posted almost nothing since the beginning of this year.  After all, what more can I say? The Democrats are in control of the executive branch of government and the Senate.  With few exceptions, I consider them a coterie of misguided incompetents.  Unfortunately, they are in position to do a great deal of harm. […]

A Question of Competence

I had the misfortune to watch and listen to President Biden last week as he bragged on the composition of his cabinet.  He was proud to proclaim its diversity.  Non-whites now outnumber whites, and the LGBT community is well represented — far more than its numbers in the general population.  One thing is obvious, a […]

All About Abortions

In my most recent post I made a few remarks about the Supreme Courts Roe v Wade reversal and its probable effect on the 2022 midterm elections.  My opinion stirred up several responses, both positive and negative.  Because of that, I decided to examine the controversial issue in much greater detail. Abortions, legal or otherwise, […]

Back Again

As you know, there have been very few new blog entries in the last month. The reason is that I have been curled up in my cage licking my wounds. The results of the recent Congressional election were a terrible disappointment to me. Why couldn’t the electorate see the truth? Encouraged by the outcome, the […]

Trouble in Memphis

On January 7 in Memphis, Tennessee, a number of police officers were videotaped beating a young black man to death.  It was a horrible scene, and it reminded many of us of the Rodney King and George Floyd incidents.  Though not privy to all the details, I can think of no valid excuse for police […]
