A Deficit of Magnanimity

In his public postings and comments President Trump sometimes exhibits a lack of magnanimity or high mindedness. He tends to kick a political opponent when he down — or even dead. This embarasses many of his followers, especially those who call themselves Christians. On December 15, Trump wrote on Truth Social: “A very sad thing […]

The Race is On

 The race  between MAGA Republicans and Democrat progressives is on.  Who will win? Trump has transformed the Republican Party.  Most Republicans appear to support his bold plan to transform America.  He hopes to revive American industries and create an economic golden age.  He plans to achieve this by the application of tariffs, deregulation, and lower […]

The Great Divide

I recently tuned into a conversation between Katie Couric and Senator John Fetterman about the late Charlie Kirk. I was surprised by Couric’s harsh criticism and apparently strong disapproval of the young conservative ‘s message. I must admit that I had not been a close follower of Kirk. After all, his primary appeal was to […]

Changing Times

A few days ago the Texas legislature, after many failed attempts, passed a bathroom bill. It effectively blocks male transgenders from accessing female private spaces. There appears to no corporate kickback or public shaming. What a change from 2016, when North Carolina passed similar legslation. When North Carolina passed a so-called “bathroom bill” in 2016, […]

Shatterd Icons

In their war against traditional societal norms, leftist progressives sometimes elevate deeply flawed persons to near iconic status while villifying their perceived oppressors. Nowhere is this illustrated more clearly than in the case of George Floyd. Floyd was not an evil man, yet he was seriously flawed. Reading a brief biography, it appears that he […]

Cleaning Up the Capital

About two weeks ago President Trump announced a temporary federal takeover of the police department in Washington, DC.  He also stated his plan to clean up the city, remove homeless encampments, etc.  Since Washington is a federal city, Trump is authorized to do this.  However, his time for action is limited unless Congress votes an […]

Dead Horse?

There’s an old saying, “No sense in beating a dead horse.” True, but perhaps the horse is not entirely dead. On several occasions I have witnessed a Democrat legislator browbeating a Republican witness or testator by asking “Who won the 2020 election.”   The obvious intent is to force the Republican to admit that Biden won […]

Negotiating for Peace

I just had an interesting e-mail exchange with someone on the subject of Trump, Putin, Zelensky, and the quest for peace in the Ukraine. Negotiations are underway today in Washington, D.C., and no one knows how things will turn out. I pray for peace. This E-mail is from a thoughtful observer who is very concerned […]

Ending the Ukrainian War

I was very disappointed in the fact that the Turmp-Putin Alaskan meeting did not result in a cease fire. However, I was not surprised. It is a very complicated business. Consider the following. 0 – Though it has a history as a one-time independent kingdom, Ukraine was part of the greater Russian state for about […]

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 […]
