Even his enemies considered Napoleon Bonapart a remarkable man. Yes, he was a military genius. That incredible talent, linked to his boundless ambition, eventually led to his downfall. However, that was only part of Napoleon’s wide ranging interests and activities. He left an indelible mark on French society through his legal and other reforms. His […]
Trump’s March 19th press conference with the Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi was priceless. A Japanese reporter questioned Trump as to why European nations and Japan weren’t forewarned about our plans to attack Iran. Trump smiled and responded with the observation that no one knows better about surprise than Japan, an obvious reference to the […]
I recently read books by James R. Clapper and James Comey to get their input on events occurring during the last year of the Obama administration and the first months of President Trump. The most obvious contrast between their accounts and more recent statements by Trump supporters concerns the extent to which Russia interfered in […]
The Democratic Party and their allies in the mainstream media appear to have taken the high ground in the battle over immigration. Their marked success in this area has given them a powerful tool that they hope to exploit in the 2026 midterm elections. In the meantime, the Republicans are relying on anticipated explosive economic […]
President Trump has stepped in it again. He has called down the wrath and indignation of both Democrats and Republicans for his recent portrayal of Barack Obama and Michelle as apes. It occurred in a political meme appearing on Truth Social, and immediately there were cries of racism. This morning, February 7, I had an […]
Those of you who read this blog know that I am a Trump supporter. I am aware of his many warts, but I believe he truly wishes what is best for this nation and I approve of most of his actions in pursuit of American “greatness.” Contrariwise, I am appalled by the anti-Christian bias and […]
Why does Trump arouse such an intense degree of hatred among his political opponents? In prior years, though I may have disagreed with their politics, I considered most of these present-day Trump haters to be honorable persons. There were exceptions, of course. A few of them were nothing more than corrupt politicians who deceived their […]
Last week I watched Miranda Devine’s interview of Robert Costello concerning his service as Rudy Guliani’s lawyer. From this interview plus recent testimonies before Congressional committees, I drew the following conclusions. By March 2020 FBI officials were fully cognizant of material in the Hunter Biden laptop that would have been absolutely devastating to the Biden […]
The Trump administration certainly knows how to keep us on edge. They are trying to manage a large number of bouncing balls. Is Trump a master juggler? Time will tell. The Venezuelan situation remains unresolved. The dictator is gone, but his coercive infrastructure remains. Can we put sufficient pressure on the remnants of the Maduro […]
Trump’s Venezuelan strategem was bold, brilliant and incredibly risky. The comparisons with Iraq are inevitable. In both instances the United States was dealing with a ruthless dictator who posed a serious threat to us and to international stability. In the first case we formed an international coalition and invaded Iraq. The defeat and deposition of […]
