Trump’s Venezuelan strategem was bold, brilliant and incredibly risky. The comparisons with Iraq are inevitable. In both instances the United States was dealing with a ruthless dictator who posed a serious threat to us and to international stability. In the first case we formed an international coalition and invaded Iraq. The defeat and deposition of […]
In his public postings and comments President Trump sometimes exhibits a lack of magnanimity or high mindedness. He tends to kick a political opponent when he down — or even dead. This embarasses many of his followers, especially those who call themselves Christians. On December 15, Trump wrote on Truth Social: “A very sad thing […]
The race between MAGA Republicans and Democrat progressives is on. Who will win? Trump has transformed the Republican Party. Most Republicans appear to support his bold plan to transform America. He hopes to revive American industries and create an economic golden age. He plans to achieve this by the application of tariffs, deregulation, and lower […]
There’s an old saying, “No sense in beating a dead horse.” True, but perhaps the horse is not entirely dead.

The party’s rank and file should […]
As I understand it, Trump wishes to do the following: The great majority of Americans favor these very same goals, but many of them do not like Trump. Much of their dislike can be attributed to the unremitting hostility of the mainline media, the entertainment moguls, and academia. Look behind the curtain, and I do […]
Abraham Lincoln is considered by many to be our greatest President, but that high regard was certainly not universal in his lifetime. Most people in the American South considered him the devil incarnate, and many Northerners had a low opinion of his leadership. Quoting from a 2013 article by Mark Bowden in The Atlantic, Lincoln […]
As a friend wisely observed, it is very hard to get at the truth these days. Each of us has his sources, and different sources differ widely as to the facts and their interpretation.
