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 […]

December 7, 1941

Japan attacked China in 1937, and its military forces were guilty of increasingly hideous brutality, culminating in the “Nanking Massacre” of December 1937. Even German observers, no strangers to evil, were shocked as Japanese soldiers committed countless brutal rapes, bayonetted or decapitated up to 40 thousand Chinese prisioners or war, and engaged in other senseless […]

Statistics

During the November 21 Men’s Forum discussion some in the group said that statistics seem to support the idea that migrants commit crimes at a lower rate than native-born Americans.  I did not respond at that time, but I was reminded of a statement attributed to Mark Twain, “There are three kinds of lies: Lies, […]

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 […]

Statistics vs Truth

According to recently released FBI statistics, crime rates are down 23% compared with the same period in 2023. Violent crime fell 10% and reported rapes decreased by 18%. Aggravated assaults during that period decreased 8%, according to the data, while robberies fell 14% and reported property crime was down 13%. One Democrat supporter labeled these […]

A Chance

I’m praying for a Republican victory in November.  I’m convinced that a Kamala Harris presidency would be disastrous for America.  I also realize that the election of Donald Trump would be no guarantee of peace and prosperity.  The person elected will face a multitude of problems.  War is raging between Russia and the Ukraine, and […]

Don’t Let Truth Get in the Way

On January 6, 2021, Cassidy Hutchinson was working in the office of Mark Meadows, President Trump’s Chief of Staff.  Cassidy is evidently a young woman of conscience, and she was deeply disturbed by the events of that day.  There were other workers in the Trump administration who were perhaps equally concerned, and rumors about the […]

A Message to Democrats

I like to see two vibrant political parties competing for leadership in the United States.  That way, no matter who wins, our future may be considered somewhat secure.  Unfortunately, that is no longer the case.  The once great Democrat Party has gone off the rails. In 2020 the Democrats nominated a person who was totally […]

CONSPIRACY!

In the wake of Trump assassination attempt cries of conspiracy ring out from right and left. Some right-wing commentators are making inflammatory charges.  They say things like: Left wing commentators have their own wild statements: Charges of conspiracy and cover-up will continue to explode until there is a careful and complete examination and explanation of […]
