Hyperbole and 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 […]

A Status Report

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 […]

Statistics vs Truth

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 […]

A Chance

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 […]

The Undying Monster

As a young boy I remember seeing a British horror film titled The Undying Monster.  We Americans have our own undying monster.  It’s the abortion issue. On June 24, 2022, the Supreme Court overturned Roe vs Wade and sent the abortion question back to the states.  But the debate rages on. Abortions, legal or otherwise, […]

A Litany of Lies

Both of our major political parties are prone to exaggerate the defects of their opponents, but Democrat Party leaders have developed this strategy into an art form.  Truth is not a concern.  Let me give you several glaring examples. Each election season Democrat Party leaders trot out the accusation that the Republicans are hell-bent on […]

Who is the Liar?

This morning I was listening to one of my favorite classical music stations.  Unfortunately, it receives funding from NPR, so listeners are occasionally subjected to public radio’s biased news coverage.  As I listened, the NPR reporter said that former President Trump was concerned about possible cheating in the coming election, and, if elected, he promises […]

Don’t Let Truth Get in the Way

On January 6, 2021, Cassidy Hutchinson was working in the office of Mark Meadows, President Trump’s Chief of Staff.  Cassidy is evidently a young woman of conscience, and she was deeply disturbed by the events of that day.  There were other workers in the Trump administration who were perhaps equally concerned, and rumors about the […]

A Message to Democrats

I like to see two vibrant political parties competing for leadership in the United States.  That way, no matter who wins, our future may be considered somewhat secure.  Unfortunately, that is no longer the case.  The once great Democrat Party has gone off the rails. In 2020 the Democrats nominated a person who was totally […]

CONSPIRACY!

In the wake of Trump assassination attempt cries of conspiracy ring out from right and left. Some right-wing commentators are making inflammatory charges.  They say things like: Left wing commentators have their own wild statements: Charges of conspiracy and cover-up will continue to explode until there is a careful and complete examination and explanation of […]
