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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]

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 […]
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 […]
An intense tropical cyclone has different labels depending upon where it occurs. In the Atlantic and in the northeast and north-central Pacific it it is called a hurricane. In the northwest Pacific it is called a typhoon. Elsewhere it is usually referred to as a tropical cyclone. Other than the name, there are no differences. […]
Years ago, when reading the Bible, I had difficulty in understanding how the Israelites so quickly turned away from God after he had miraculously rescued them from slavery in Egypt. How could they so soon forget? Some of them went so far as to say that slavery in Egypt, where they had food and shelter, […]
