Last week there was considerable journalistic and political furor over a article in The Atlantic magazine claiming that President Trump had referred to our nations fallen heroes as “suckers and losers.” The story was written by Chief Editor Jeffrey Goldberg and was said to be based on several anonymous sources.

Hugh Griffin c1941 Hugh Griffin was a boyhood friend. During the early 1940s we often roamed the beach together, talking, laughing, and sharing good times. Hugh was a quiet, unassuming sort, and I liked him a lot. He was truly a good person and a loyal friend. I was a year older than Hugh, and […]

Washington Post reporter Don Balz stated that the recent Republican Convention “stands out for its brazen defiance of the facts.” Reports from other liberal news outlets echoed the same refrain.

When I was very young, I was taught that the polite term used to refer to a Black’s ethnicity was […]

Also, the height, weight, and general physical health of enlistees was less than it had been 25 years earlier. The great bloodbath of 1914-18 had taken its toll. The best and brightest […]
Someone recently posted an item in which he said that a Washington Post fact checker had documented 20,000 lies on the part of President Trump. Amazing! I no longer read the Washington Post. Many years ago I found that paper’s reporting had become so skewed that I could no longer depend on it for accuracy, […]

After all, it was Chamberlain who returned from Munich in October 1938 after a disastrous deal with Hitler and proclaimed “Peace in our time.” The problem for Chamberlain was that he was a gentleman dealing with a gangster.
