Trump’s Taxes

The Trump hating New York Times has published an article claiming that Trump paid no federal taxes in 11 of the 18 years reviewed by the newspaper, and only paid $750 of personal taxes in 2016 and 2017. I do not trust the Times.  Perhaps the reporting is accurate, perhaps it is not.  For the sake […]

Darcy and Elizabeth

How many of you have seen the mini-series Pride and Prejudice? My wife and I enjoyed watching it a number of times. The relationship between Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennett was interesting.  Darcy was a very proud and somewhat arrogant fellow, but I soon came to believe that his arrogance and rude manners sprang from […]

Sell Them the Rope

One interesting fact about the Antifa and Black Lives Matter movements is the support they receive from many of our more affluent citizens.  It is difficult to understand this, but American capitalists and globalists often help fund radical organizations and seem undeterred when their demonstrations turn into riots and mayhem.  These people should realize that, […]

The Breonna Taylor Affair

The Breonna Taylor affair is a perfect illustration of the warped news coverage being fed to the American public.  Truth is often lost in the roar of the mob. Insofar as I can determine, the facts of the case are as follows: Louisville police were investigating Jamarcus Glover and Adrian Walker for dealing in illegal […]

Political Turmoil

Much of the following is a repeat of things I have written before, but I feel impelled to write them again.  These are perilous times for America, and it is the time for decision. The nation has been in a state of political turmoil since the day Donald Trump was elected President.  Many people blame […]

Truth Be Damned!

During the 1890s a furious controversy erupted in France over the guilt or innocence of Albert Drefus, a French Jewish officer charged with espionage. He was convicted by a French army court, but as it turned out there was incontrovertible proof of his innocence. However, the proof reflected some dishonor on the military authorities, and […]

Armageddon?

Unfortunately for the peace of the country, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died less than two months before a Presidential election.  Preliminary discussions regarding filling her seat on the Supreme Court are already underway. Battle lines between liberals and conservatives have been drawn, and each side is girded for conflict.  I pray there is no violence. […]

Talent

I have always been somewhat in awe of other person’s talents.  I am fascinated by the great artist who can produce beautiful melodies from a musical instrument.  I am equally impressed by the man or woman who paints a magnificent landscape or portrait. Over the years I have come to know and appreciate other talents.  […]

Battle for the Mind

Give me just one generation of youth, and I’ll transform the whole world. Vladimir Lenin The education of our children is a matter of vital concern to everyone.  Generally speaking, liberal/progressives wish the state to have almost total control over the schooling of our youth.  Through this control they promote their progressive world view.  For […]
