The Contagion Spreads

It now appears that the Trump Derangement Syndrome is contagious. It affects anyone who is associated with Trump. The closer the association with Trump, the more virulent the infection. 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 […]

Wikipedia

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. It appears in Wikipedia’s […]

Trump and Tariffs

As he prepares to take office, President-elect Trump threatens to use tariffs as a diplomatic weapon in dealing with foreign states and to protect American industries from foreign competition. Now comes the backlash. The free-trade advocates, Democrat and Republican, are howling. For the last hundred years the belief in free trade has had a broad […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Wray and Trump

It seems that Christopher Wray, FBI Chief, is among the Trump haters. In this week’s testimony before Congress Wray suggested that Trump’s July 13 injuries may have been caused by shrapnel rather than a bullet. What utter nonsense! I saw the assassination attempt unfold on television. I heard the rifle shots, I saw Trump grab […]

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 […]

No Surprise

The attempted assassination of Donald Trump was no surprise. Although the fate of the Pennsylvania gunman might discourage further attempts, there are many people who wish Trump dead. Someone else may give it a try. The villification of Trump by the left-wing media knows no bounds, and those who rely on that source for their […]
