JUSTICE UNDER STRESS

Last week I watched Miranda Devine’s interview of Robert Costello concerning his service as Rudy Guliani’s lawyer. From this interview plus recent testimonies before Congressional committees, I drew the following conclusions. By March 2020 FBI officials were fully cognizant of material in the Hunter Biden laptop that would have been absolutely devastating to the Biden […]

MORE BOUNCING BALLS

The Trump administration certainly knows how to keep us on edge. They are trying to manage a large number of bouncing balls. Is Trump a master juggler? Time will tell. The Venezuelan situation remains unresolved. The dictator is gone, but his coercive infrastructure remains. Can we put sufficient pressure on the remnants of the Maduro […]

TRUMP’S VENEZUELAN STRATEGEM

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 […]

A Deficit of Magnanimity

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 is On

 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 […]

Dead Horse?

There’s an old saying, “No sense in beating a dead horse.” True, but perhaps the horse is not entirely dead. On several occasions I have witnessed a Democrat legislator browbeating a Republican witness or testator by asking “Who won the 2020 election.”   The obvious intent is to force the Republican to admit that Biden won […]

Gabbard’s Charges

As the dust settles following Tulsi Gabbard’s explosive charges against Obama and his intelligence operatives, I offer my own thoughts about what is going on.: 0 – Several Republicans have said there is very little new information in Gabbard’s revelations, and their major significance is that she may have provided more documentary proof.  There is […]

Deceit and Betrayal

The National Democratic Party is guilty of the greatest political deceit and public betrayal in the history of our republic.   Here are the particulars: I’m disgusted with the national Democratic Party.  They have substituted partisan fealty for patriotism. They should be ashamed, but they are not.  They are corrupt.  The party’s rank and file should […]

Trump’s Agenda

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 […]

The Making of a Martyr

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 […]
