It saddens me that I have lost my faith in the Federal Department of Justice and the FBI.  I am certain many good persons are still working in both organizations, but there must be corruption – especially at the top.  How else can we explain the fact that opponents of the current administration are often […]

My sons and I bat ideas back and forth as we discuss the current political scene.  Some of you might be interested in this recent exchange. To a son:  I read the two articles you sent me, and now I wish to make a rather lengthy response. As for the New York Post editors, they […]

On June 28, 1914, the Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife were murdered in the streets of Sarajevo by a young Slavic nationalist.  The archduke was heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, and his assassination precipitated a series of events leading to the outbreak of World War I.  Forty-one years of war and turmoil followed, and […]

As we witness responses to the Supreme Court’s recent overturn of   Roe v Wade, we are looking directly into the face of evil.  “Damn the Supreme Court” they say.  “Damn Gorsuch and Kavanaugh and Barrett.”  These crazed demonstrators are ready to destroy Democracy itself.  They hate Christianity and will do anything to satisfy the appetite […]

With reference to the January 6th inquiry, one of my sons recently wrote me the following: “My question has always been and remains, why didn’t Trump message the Capitol intruders to stop what they were doing and go home hours before he finally did and as almost his entire staff, family, and even some conservative news media icons […]

This day marks the 708th anniversary of Bannockburn. England and Scotland coexisted peacefully during the early Middle Ages.  That all changed in the 1290s.  Young Margaret, heiress to the Scottish throne, died on her way to the country in 1290, leaving the question of succession in dispute.  Margaret had previously been affianced to Edward, Prince […]

For many years members of my family have been faithful customers of Parkers Barbecue Restaurant in Wilson, North Carolina.  They make a delicious east Carolina variety of pork BBQ, and you can purchase an all-you-can-eat dinner for a very reasonable price.  Whenever our north-south travels take us within a reasonable distance of Wilson, we try […]

I realize that I may be out of step with most of my fellow citizens on the question of who actually won the 2020 Presidential election.  Perhaps I am looking at the wrong information sources, but I believe that there is strong evidence that Trump should have received most of the electoral votes.  However, by […]

I was a registered Democrat from my first registration in the 1950s until 1993.  As a young boy in the American South during the late 30s and early 40s, I followed politics with some interest but did not participate.  Citizens in the South were overwhelming Democrat in their sympathies.  The political legacy of the Civil […]

The Federal government supplies only a small percentage of the funds required to operate our public schools.  Nevertheless, Federal bureaucrats use this money as a means of control. The Biden administration’s Department of Agriculture is now demanding that any school or other establishment that accepts federal food funding, including food stamps, must allow males who […]
