Ukrainian Solution

Several facts seem obvious. The Ukraine is gradually losing the conflict. Their troops are outnumbered and have suffered enormous casualties. There are also reports of a serious level of desertions in the Ukrainian army. The United States and some European states have contributed support, but not enough to stem the Russian tide. If NATO and […]

Thanksgiving Thoughts

I am writing this on Thanksgiving Day, and I have so much to be thankful for.  Let me name but a few. I was born into a loving family more than 95 years ago. I was blessed with a wonderful mother and father, four brothers, and three sisters, all of whom were very dear to […]

Statistics

During the November 21 Men’s Forum discussion some in the group said that statistics seem to support the idea that migrants commit crimes at a lower rate than native-born Americans.  I did not respond at that time, but I was reminded of a statement attributed to Mark Twain, “There are three kinds of lies: Lies, […]

Landslide?

I was delighted with Trump’s victory on November 5. I realize that the incoming administration will face many difficult challenges, and it may fail to realize the hopes of its supporters; but it least it offers some possibility of progress. A Harris victory would have meant a continuation of the same tired programs that I […]

New Home

I am now situated in my new abode in the Charlestown Retirement Village at 719 Maiden Choicxe Lane, Apt BR139, Catonsville, Maryland, 21228. Charlestown is a nice place and very well run. I believe I will enjoy it here. Thus far I have been very much engaged in unpacking and trying to find a new […]

Man of the Hour?

I read somewhere that an prominent Englishman visited America in the early 1900s and on returning home said that while in America he had observed two marvelous works of nature. One was Niagara Falls. The other was Teddy Roosevelt. Trump reminds me of Theodore Roosevelt. Both men have been noted for their tremendous energy. Donald […]

One More Week

We have one more week until the final day of this election campaign. I am praying fervently for a Trump victory. To me, the present Democrat Party leadership represents globalism and a rejection of our Judeo-Christian heritage. They run on a pro-abortion (pro-choice) platform combined with a vicious and largely untrue attack on Donald Trump […]

Hyperbole and Lies

I have listened to several Trump speeches during the past year. I usually don’t listen long, because he tends to express the same thoughts over and over again. His campaign events are essentially pep-rallies. The Democrats accuse Trump of being a serial liar. I disagree. Trump is a serial exaggerator. Rarely if ever do I […]

Corrections

On my September 3 post I challenged a FBI statistical report indicating that crime levels are down in America. The statistics simply made no sense. Recently I learned that I was right. It seems that the FBI had not included reports from some our most crime-ridden cities, and an addendum to the original report shows […]

A Status Report

Since posting my last article I have been very busy preparing for a change of residence. I’m moving to a nearby senior living community. I’ve been in my present residence almost twenty-two years, and it is amazing how much junk can be accumulated in that period of time. And it’s not all junk. It takes […]
