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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Abraham Lincoln is considered by many to be our greatest President, but that high regard was certainly not universal in his lifetime. Most people in the American South considered him the devil incarnate, and many Northerners had a low opinion of his leadership. Quoting from a 2013 article by Mark Bowden in The Atlantic, Lincoln […]

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.
