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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Japan attacked China in 1937, and its military forces were guilty of increasingly hideous brutality, culminating in the “Nanking Massacre” of December 1937.

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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
