Herschel Walker gave a powerful testimony for Trump at the Republican convention last night. His image of the man contradicts the charges of racism frequently leveled at the President. I personally know someone who has had dealings with Trump, and he insists that he always found Trump to be fair and considerate in his dealings […]
The lines are drawn in the Presidential election. It will be Biden and Harris vs Trump and Pence. There is a sharp contrast. Neither side appears to have a distinct advantage over the other. Biden seems to be somewhat cognitively impaired, but he was never the brightest of the bright. Nevertheless, his nomination acceptance speech […]
Intruding ourselves into another nation’s internal affairs is rarely justified and often dangerous. That is especially true when that country is involved in a civil war that is fast becoming a bloody internecine struggle where it is difficult to distinguish friend from foe. Our justification for poking our noses into such a situation is often […]
When he was four or five years old our son Stuart fell and struck his upper abdomen against the top of a chair. Within a few minutes he appeared white as a ghost, and we bundled him up and rushed him to the emergency room at a nearby hospital. An examination revealed a ruptured spleen […]

Rachel Levine is a biological […]
Regardless of varying opinions about his politics, I believe most American’s considered Ronald Reagan a good man. He did not appear arrogant or mean, and he had a self-deprecating sense of humor. Two interactions between Reagan and news reporters stand out in my memory. One time, while he was Governor of California, reporters approached […]
As I watched the Confederate statues come down I had the following thoughts. It is difficult for us to appreciate the perspective of our forefathers. With our modern sensitivities we are often prone to denounce them for behavior that their contemporaries may have considered normal or perhaps even worthy of praise. It is also […]
First, let me say that I like George W. Bush. I did not agree with all his policies or decisions, but I believe him to be an honest and honorable man. The Iraq incursion was the defining moment of Bush’s administration. Most Americans supported that action at the time, including leaders of both political […]
Last year, accompanied by my sons Eric and Stuart, I visited my boyhood home in Pleasant Garden, North Carolina, a small village to the south of Greensboro. My family moved from that place in 1938, and I had never been back. As we stopped on the street across from my old family home we engaged […]
