The United States and Israel must bring the war with Iran to end as quickly as possible.  The longer it continues, the more likely it is that unpleasant consequences will arise.  We had a brilliant plan for waging the war.  I am confident that we must also have a plan for peace. The Iranian military […]

We Americans should avoid boastful arrogance.  It is proper for us to take pride in the skill and bravery of our armed forces, but I believe we should show compassion for those Iranian soldiers and sailors who were led by their mad leaders into the path of death and destruction.  I do not doubt these […]

The initial strike on Iran appears to heve been amazingly successful. The Ayatollah and his top aides were liquidated, and the Iranian military assets are being pummeled. It remains to be seen how deep the Iranian government’s control stucture was. We hope it was shallow. As I understand the strategy, Trump has advised Iranian citizens […]

This morning, February 28, I awoke to the news that the United States and Israel had initiated military strikes on Iran. My initial reactions were mixed. The attack on Iran was no surprise. We had expected it for some days. I understood why Trump believed it to be necessary, but armed conflict should always a […]

In a recent post I compared DonaldTrump to Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver. Never was the comparison more apt than during Tuesday evening’s State of the Union address. Trump appeared as a giant, his Democrat opponents ressembled a horde of leaderless, confused Lilliputians.

President Trump delivered the State of the Union message last night. I thought it to be an excellent speech, not a great speech. To me it appeared a bit too calculated and contrived to pump up my emotions, but he kept me awake (quite an accmplishment for one of my age), and he continued to […]

I thought Marco Rubio’s speech at the European Security Conference was brilliant.  He eloquently stated many of the thoughts I’ve tried to express in the eight years I have published this blog.  Rubio’s principal theme was that Europe and America must band together to protect our most precious heritage.  That heritage is Western Civilization and […]

In a comment on my recent blog post on immigration, Dabir Dalton wrote that “Perception and Optics are king,” M. Dalton is absolutely correct. The Trump administration gets bad coverage from a very hostile and often dishonest legacy media. It must fight especially hard to change the general public’s view and create a positive image […]
