Diogenes of Athens is perhaps best known for carrying a lighted lantern in the daytime and saying that he was looking for an honest man. Pundits on every side of every issue are screaming at us with their version of the truth. Liz Cheney tells us that Donald Trump is a threat to the republic. […]
In the soon to be enacted so-called Inflation Reduction Act there are clauses calling for the hiring an additional 87,000 IRS agents, virtually doubling the size of that department. Many of these new agents are to be armed. Why? President Biden has assured us on many occasions that any new taxes being imposed will not […]
The FBI raid on Donald Trump’s home at Mar-a-Lago was a profound shock. I can think of no precedent in the history of the American republic. Unless the raid exposes some truly damning and illegal activities on the part of the former President, it will do great damage to the FBI, the DOJ and the […]
(I prepare most of my posts a week or so before publication, and I wrote the following article before the August 8 raid on Mar-a-Lago. That event served to heighten my concerns,) The Gestapo was the political police of Nazi Germany. It ruthlessly eliminated opposition to the Nazis within Germany and its occupied territories.

When I did my post on broken families I ventured into a sensitive area. My post was primarily concerned with children to parent and sibling to sibling relationships – not so much with husbands and wives. Some readers took it otherwise.

Dick Cheney, former Vice President, recently released a video attacking Donald Trump. It was a vicious assault.

During his term in office, Trump was in a continuous battle with what is referred to as the “Swamp.” And what is the Swamp other than the entrenched bureaucracy? Most members of the bureaucracy are regular civil servants doing a myriad of necessary jobs among the scores of Federal Departments. Others are long-serving specialists that […]
Everyone needs to love and be loved. It always saddens me to observe broken family relationships. Situations in which a child will not talk to a parent, a parent to a child, or a sibling to a sibling are distressing to me. I remember a lonely lady in our church who was ignored by her […]
I have written all this before, but I believe it to be a truth that should be pounded into the brain of every man and woman — and especially into the minds of young students. You are a miracle! Life itself is a miracle! Not all the king’s horses and all the king’s men. Not […]
Recent news reports indicate that Mayor Muriel Bowser of Washington D.C. is mobilizing the National Guard to deal with the influx of undocumented emigrees from the south. Four thousand or more of these people have recently arrived in her city, many of them being bused in from Texas. The Texas governor wishes to share the […]
