Studies show that April 2025 was about 1.49°C (2.68°F) warmer than the 1850–1900 average, making it nearly as hot as the record set in April 2024. Experts also note that 21 of the last 22 months have stayed at or above 1.5°C (2.7°F) above pre-industrial levels, a threshold that has been widely seen as a […]
Senator Mark Warner seems to regard every reduction of personnel in our intelligence agencies as a threat to national security. I doubt that he would approve even a modest cut to the CIA’s janitoral staff. I worked for one of those intelligence agencies for almost forty years. I knew many brilliant and dedicated employees at […]
Abraham Lincoln is considered by many to be our greatest President, but that high regard was certainly not universal in his lifetime. Most people in the American South considered him the devil incarnate, and many Northerners had a low opinion of his leadership. Quoting from a 2013 article by Mark Bowden in The Atlantic, Lincoln […]
Democrat Party leadership appears to be morally and intellectually bankrupt. As a former Democrat, that makes me very sad. They propped a senile man in office while describing him as an intellectual and moral giant. When their deceit was finally exposed, they offered a substitute who was totally unqualified for high office. They vilify Trump […]
As a friend wisely observed, it is very hard to get at the truth these days. Each of us has his sources, and different sources differ widely as to the facts and their interpretation. Some people describe Trump as an evil, Hitler-like figure. Others support him. In 2015 Trump had already achieved fame and fortune. […]
Trump’s opponents are quick to condemn his every action. Tariff battles grab the headlines, but the administration’s actions in the field of medicine and public health have also attracted unfavorable comments. Often it requires a period of time to determine whether the President or his critics are right. On April 17 I watched as Megyn […]
President Trump is not a warmonger. I believe that he earnestly seeks world peace, and he will do all he can to achieve and preserve it. At the same time, he is acutely aware of the dangers of nuclear proliferation and the risks of a cataclysmic nuclear conflict. It’s bad enough that China, Pakistan, Russia […]
Almost half of Americans appear to despise Donald Trump. Their loathing of him is almost palpable, and it often erupts in what observers have called the Trump Derangement Syndrome. The Trump haters view him as an evil racist demagogue who is bent on destroying all that is good in America. Their hatred of Trump often […]
By imposing tariffs, Trump hopes to restore American industries, jobs, and economic independence. Many of his critics say that this is an impossible dream. They believe that there is no way back for many American industries, and they share a globalist vision of a world in which there are no boundaries to economic activity and […]
I watched the recent interview of Elon Musk and the DOGE team leaders on Fox news. I was impressed. I urge each of you to see it. The team leaders are all highly qualified businessmen with records of success. Most of them are very wealthy. They don’t need this job. They are volunteering their services […]
