I have never understood the reason so many people hate President Trump so much. I understand why they dislike him. He sometimes appears arrogant, vain, and petty. He does not seem to have a sense of humor, and he suffers from a deficit of magnanimity. Nevertheless, I see no indication that he is an evil […]
In this post I copy a recent WND op-ed by Lt. Col. James Zumwalt, USMC (Ret). I usually do not quote other writers to this extent, but I believe that Zumwalt provides a succinct and cogent description of some of the major political events that produced headlines over the past few years. His viewpoint is […]
During the 1950s I first heard the term “the real skinny.” This appellation was used to describe what were believed to be the “true facts” about any subject under discussion. During the past month or more I have read everything I could about our current political situation. I have read liberal/progressive commentators, and I […]
I was surprised that Senator Romney voted Donald Trump guilty of abuse of power, one of the two articles of impeachment brought against the President by the House of Representatives. Romney was the only Republican senator voting to convict the President on either article. Otherwise it was strictly a party line vote. I believe Romney […]
The impeachment trial of Donald Trump will end Wednesday night, February 5, 2020, with the President’s acquittal. It was a forgone conclusion. Any Democrat Party leader with even a smidgen of intelligence knew that a Republican Senate was not going to produce the 67 votes required to convict the President and throw him out of […]
I must confess that I have not been following the impeachment trial on television. It is incredibly repetitious and boring, and I pray that it will be over soon. I do not doubt the truth of some of the charges leveled against our President. Trump wanted the Ukrainian government to investigate the Bidens, and […]
I have written in previous posts about how very difficult it is to get accurate and believable information. Depending on the writer’s point of view, news accounts of the very same event can be 180 degrees apart. This is especially true of reporting on the hot button issues of the day. A man for whom […]
President Trump screams that the present impeachment process is unconstitutional. The President’s enemies, along with respected commentators such as Chis Wallace, say the Presidents claims are balderdash. Why does the President continue to make the claim? What is the truth? Per the Constitution, the House of Representatives has the sole power to impeach the President, […]
Today I was with a group of men discussing various subjects of interest. It is a mixed group, intelligent and fairly well-informed, and I usually enjoy the interchange, Today, it frightened me. One topic that came up for discussion was the possible impeachment of President Trump. It seemed obvious that many of the men, perhaps […]
In 1875 Henry Wadsworth Longfellow penned the words, “Whom the Gods would destroy they first make mad.” An earlier version of this thought appeared in Sophocles play Antigone. As the classical Greek dramatist phrased it, “Evil appears as good in the minds of those whom God leads to destruction.” Either phrase could aptly be applied […]
