Disparate Treatment

Over the past decade it has become increasingly apparent that there is a glaring gap in our justice system,  How can we fix it? In 2012 Congress cited Eric Holder, Attorney General, for contempt.  Holder claimed executive privilege, and the Justice Department refused to arrest or prosecute. In 2021 Peter Navarro, an advisor to President […]

A Different Lens

I participate in two citizen forums (discussion groups) every week.  They are conducted at county senior centers and usually have 15 to 20 persons in attendance.  One of them is all men, the other has both male and female participants.  The subjects discussed cover the waterfront, but we generally avoid partisan politics and religion.  The […]

January 6

I was not in Washington on January 6, 2020.  My perspective on the events of that day is therefore limited by my access to unbiased news, and in these troubled times balanced news coverage is an extremely rare commodity.  Nevertheless, I will sift through the information available to me, apply my own biases, and tell […]

Impeach or Not Impeach?

Evidence of Joseph Biden’s corrupt activities appears overwhelming. The Biden family has received millions of dollars from foreign entities in evident expectation of some sort of payback. These money transactions were laundered through a series of shell companies, and only recently has the depth and breadth of this criminal enterprise been exposed. Unfortunately, much of […]

Legal Insanity

I only recently understood how unfair and financially debilitating the massive ruling of Judge Engoron against Trump in a New York court truly is. In addition to the more than 350 million dollars in fines, the Judge imposed another 100 million in interest, a total of almost half a billion dollars. To make matters worse, […]

A Wall of Lies

Today I was talking to a friend.  We usually avoid political discussions.  I know she is a out-and-out liberal, supports Democrat Party candidates, and thinks Trump should be in jail.  Any attempt to change her mind about this would be an exercise in futility. Today she somehow let loose with her opinion that President Trump […]

Believing the Best

I like to believe the best about people.  When I see some winsome character on television telling me that this or that is true, I want to believe them.  Then, a few minutes later, an equally winsome character on another channel tells me that the truth is exactly opposite from what I heard from the […]

Viewpoint

  A few days ago I had a brief political discussion with a casual friend.  We stand on opposite ends of the political spectrum, so we usually avoid any exchange of opinions on that subject.  On this occasion, however, I sought her reaction to the Democrat debate that had occurred the previous evening. It was […]
