I must confess that I once compared Donald Trump to Benito Mussolini. It was in 2016 during the Republican primaries. As a pre-teen, I became politically aware during the late 1930s, and I well remember the Italian dictator’s frequent appearance in newsreels. Mussolini would strut up to the podium, tilt his head back and thrust […]
Today I was talking to a friend. We usually avoid political discussions. I know she is a out-and-out liberal, supports Democrat Party candidates, and thinks Trump should be in jail. Any attempt to change her mind about this would be an exercise in futility. Today she somehow let loose with her opinion that President Trump […]
There are many clear dividing lines between the Republican and Democrat Parties. My son Stuart recently discovered one of these dividing lines, and it motivated him to finally and firmly commit his vote to Trump and the Republican Party in this election. He still finds Trump’s personality and demeanor obnoxious and un-presidential, and he totally […]
For more than a year reports have been swirling around less well-known news channels and the blogosphere about shady dealings by Hunter Biden, Joe’s son, with a corrupt Ukrainian oil company and with Chinese communist operatives. This began while Joe Biden was Vice President. Considerable amounts of money were involved, and some of these reports […]

Madness is in the air. Insanity rules in television newsrooms, and many governing officials appear to have lost their ability to think. Some of our cities tremble on the brink of anarchy. We are all sinners. We have a wonderful country in which we take pride, but there is no perfect person, nation, or […]
“I could not love thee, dear, so much, loved I not honour more.” This phrase was penned by Richard Lovelace, 17th century English poet and veteran of the English Civil War. In one sense, Lovelace was saying that if he lacked honor, his love would be a worthless thing. I do wish that our current […]
The late and much loved Charles Krauthammer coined the phrase “The Bush Derangement Syndrome” to describe what he described as “the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the Presidency – nay – the very existence of George W. Bush.” Later he modified this medical term to “The […]
Trump’s greatest strength in 2020 is the weakness of the opposition. A large number of Democrats are contending for their party’s Presidential nomination in 2020. At one time there were as many as 25, but many have dropped out of the race. Realistically, unless we have a late entry by Hillary Clinton or Michael Bloomberg, […]
In 1875 Henry Wadsworth Longfellow penned the words, “Whom the Gods would destroy they first make mad.” An earlier version of this thought appeared in Sophocles play Antigone. As the classical Greek dramatist phrased it, “Evil appears as good in the minds of those whom God leads to destruction.” Either phrase could aptly be applied […]
