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 […]

INFERNO THREE

WINNING THE WAR, LOSING THE PEACE 1914-1939 After the Battle of the Marne ended on September 9, 1914, the Allied and German armies attempted to outflank each other. Failing this, they entrenched and faced off over a no-man’s land. The trenches stretched from the Swiss alps to the English Channel. From time to time each […]

Missiles, Drones, Death and Chaos

Three stories dominate today’s news. One is the conflict between Israel and Iran. Second is the planned “No Kings” demonstations in various American cities and the probably unrelated murderous attacks against two Minnesota state legislators. Third is the scheduled Washington parade to celebrate our army’s 250th anniversary. Israel hit Iran with a targeted and apparently […]

Deceit and Betrayal

The National Democratic Party is guilty of the greatest political deceit and public betrayal in the history of our republic.   Here are the particulars: I’m disgusted with the national Democratic Party.  They have substituted partisan fealty for patriotism. They should be ashamed, but they are not.  They are corrupt.  The party’s rank and file should […]

Trump’s Agenda

As I understand it, Trump wishes to do the following: The great majority of Americans favor these very same goals, but many of them do not like Trump.  Much of their dislike can be attributed to the unremitting hostility of the mainline media, the entertainment moguls, and academia.  Look behind the curtain, and I do […]
