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 […]

Trump and his Critics

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. Some people describe Trump as an evil, Hitler-like figure.  Others support him. In 2015 Trump had already achieved fame and fortune.  […]

The FDA and NIH

Trump’s opponents are quick to condemn his every action.  Tariff battles grab the headlines, but the administration’s actions in the field of medicine and public health have also  attracted unfavorable comments.  Often it requires a period of time to determine whether the President or his critics are right. On April 17 I watched as Megyn […]

SAVIOR OR DESTROYER

Almost half of Americans appear to despise Donald Trump.  Their loathing of him is almost palpable, and it often erupts in what observers have called the Trump Derangement Syndrome.  The Trump haters view him as an evil racist demagogue who is bent on destroying all that is good in America. Their hatred of Trump often […]

The Contagion Spreads

It now appears that the Trump Derangement Syndrome is contagious. It affects anyone who is associated with Trump. The closer the association with Trump, the more virulent the infection. As proof, let’s take the case of Elon Musk. Musk was once the darling of the American media. He had no partisan identity, so he had […]

Wikipedia

I appreciate Wikipedia and have found it to be an excellent source of information on a great variety of subjects. Unfortunately, I also find that Wikipedia is biased in its coverage of the American political scene. It has a strong leftward or progressive slant. As one example, read the following paragraph. It appears in Wikipedia’s […]

Hyperbole and Lies

I have listened to several Trump speeches during the past year. I usually don’t listen long, because he tends to express the same thoughts over and over again. His campaign events are essentially pep-rallies. The Democrats accuse Trump of being a serial liar. I disagree. Trump is a serial exaggerator. Rarely if ever do I […]

A Status Report

Since posting my last article I have been very busy preparing for a change of residence. I’m moving to a nearby senior living community. I’ve been in my present residence almost twenty-two years, and it is amazing how much junk can be accumulated in that period of time. And it’s not all junk. It takes […]
