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 […]

Donald Trump and Bill Barr

I’ve  always had a level of respect for Bill Barr, our Attorney General under Donald Trump.  I’ve always believed he and I are on the same side in defending Christendom against the raving hordes of progressive atheism. Nevertheless, in October 2020 I was terribly disappointed when Barr failed to confront an obvious lie by Joseph […]

Get Whitey!

I don’t remember the title or the author, but sometime in the 1950s I read a science fiction story in which the colored races of the world rose up in righteous anger and killed all the whites. I believe there is a conscious or subliminal desire for white racial genocide on the part of some […]

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, […]

Year of Decision – Part 4

Race and racism remain a big issue in 2024. America has experienced a turbulent racial history.  Blacks endured more than two hundred years of chattel slavery until freed by a bloody civil war.  They continued to suffer legal and de facto discrimination for another hundred years.  But that all changed during the past sixty years. […]

A House Divided

As I have noted previously, it is interesting how persons with reasonable intelligence, good educations, and similar values can look at current events and arrive at opinions that are so diametrically opposed.   One’s viewpoint is largely dependent on his or her news sources. An example is afforded by different perspectives on the 2020 election.  Trump […]

The Eleventh Commandment

The Eleventh Commandment was a phrase used by Ronald Reagan during his 1966 campaign for Governor of California. The commandment reads: Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican.  As governor and as President, Reagan generally followed that commandment.  I respected him for it. President Trump has thrown that rule of political conduct out […]
