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: While knowing Joseph Biden to be incompetent and senile, party leaders foisted him on the American public in the 2020 Presidential campaign.  They hid their candidate from close scrutiny and then […]

Trump’s Agenda

As I understand it, Trump wishes to do the following: Use tariffs along with foreign and domestic investments to revive critical American manufacturing industries such as steel, aluminum, computers, shipbuilding, chips, robotics, etc. Maximize the American energy industry (oil, gas, nuclear, green, etc.)  as a source of wealth and leverage in foreign trade and to […]

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 […]
