Roanoke Island, North Carolina, lies in a body of water between the Albemarle and Pamlico Sounds. The island is about 8 miles long and 2 miles wide. The mainland is a few miles to the west. The outer banks lie a short distance to the east, separated from the island by a narrow channel. Roanoke […]
Have you ever noticed that different reporters on different networks often use identical terminology in reporting a news story. I first became aware of this in 2000 when George W. Bush was running for President. Many of the mainstream, left-leaning commentators considered Bush an intellectual lightweight. When he chose Richard Cheney as his running-mate they […]
On Friday, September 24th, the long awaited 2020 Maricopa County election audit was delivered to the Arizona Senate. Left wing media sources immediately trumpeted the news that the “bogus” audit confirmed that Biden had won Arizona. Of course, if the audit was bogus, how could it confirm anything. In truth, the auditors raised serious questions […]
First, let me say that I believe that our planet is warming. The evidence is plain before us – gradually increasing global temperatures, melting glaciers and icecaps, etc. etc. I believe that it is due in part to natural climate cycles and partly to human activity.

Several months ago there was an Arizona Senate authorized audit of voting in Maricopa County. It was done over a period of some weeks and was very extensive. Part of the cost was defrayed by contributions from interested citizens, mostly Republican, who were convinced that there were election irregularities in November 2020. Democrat spokespersons have […]
While in Basel we took a daytime rail trip to Lake Lucerne. The lake is located in central Switzerland and is a major tourist attraction. The lake itself and the surrounding mountains are quite beautiful, and the four of us enjoyed our visit there very much. Of course, our tour included a boating excursion. Here […]
Robert E. Lee Civic authorities recently removed statues of Robert E. Lee from Monument Avenue in Richmond and from a memorial park in Charlottesville. Many people hailed this move as only fitting. After all, Lee was a slaveholder, and he was a traitor to the United States. His actions led to the death of many […]
Basel was our last port of call on the Viking Rhine River Cruise. The city is situated in north-central Switzerland near the borders of France and Germany. In fact, the airport that serves Basel is located in France, and we flew from there on our return to the United States. Basel Basel is a beautiful […]
