I just had an interesting e-mail exchange with someone on the subject of Trump, Putin, Zelensky, and the quest for peace in the Ukraine. Negotiations are underway today in Washington, D.C., and no one knows how things will turn out. I pray for peace. This E-mail is from a thoughtful observer who is very concerned […]
A famous quote, often crediited to Mark Twain, says “There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.” Legacy media commentators chose to ignore this truism when they condemned President Trump’s takeover of policing in Washington, D.C. They quote statistics proving that crime rates are declining in Washington and other major cities, and […]
I was very disappointed in the fact that the Turmp-Putin Alaskan meeting did not result in a cease fire. However, I was not surprised. It is a very complicated business. Consider the following. 0 – Though it has a history as a one-time independent kingdom, Ukraine was part of the greater Russian state for about […]
Three days ago I wrote the story of “The Golden Arm,” a yarn that I told to my nephews and nieces long years ago. Today I am recording another of their favorites — “George.” I hope you enjoy. Dave Cooper was a down-to-earth sort of fellow. He had no truck with anything stupid like ghosts, […]
I believe that Donald Trump wishes to be remembered for many things. He hopes to restore the America he remembers as a youth, a nation strong, respected, and a leader of the free world. He also desires to be known as “The Peacemaker.” That is a noble ambition. It is the antithesis of seeking an […]
I was fortunate enough to have 24 nephews and nieces. I loved them all. When I was a teenager and they were young I would sometimes entertain them with stories. One of their favorites was “The Golden Arm,” a story that has been around since Mark Twain — and probably before. The following was my […]
It saddens me to see the state of the Democratic Party (or, as the Republicans prefer it, the Democrat Party). At one time I was proud to be a registered Democrat, but I abandoned that allegiance three decades ago. Since that time the party has drifted further and further to the left. I once believed […]
Democrat Party leaders are crying foul over Republican attempts to redraw congressional electoral districts in Texas. They are calling for resistance and retribution. It’s a classic example of a kettle calling the pot black. In states like California, Illinois and New York, Democrats developed the practice of gerrymandering into an art form.
When running for office in 2024, Trump was asked about his desire for revenge against those political opponents who had attempted to destroy him. At that time he said that his victory would be his revenge. As more details about the sordid plot against him come out, the President seems to be changing his tune. […]
Donald Trump strides across our twenty-first century landscape like a giant. Love him or hate him, there is no one else like him, and few men have had a comparative impact in such a brief time upon the public stage. He exudes vitality, and in this way he appears to match the boundless energy of […]
