The Supreme Court delivered a ruling a few weeks ago that the entire country should have celebrated, finding that it is unconstitutional for states to realign Congressional districts based on race. This ruling, though not unanimous, is further proof of how far this country has come since the days of slavery and the treatment of … Read more
It was a night of stark contrasts as hundreds of believers gathered under a tent in a park, in the shadows of the Maine Capitol building, to pray for Maine and to formally ask for help from the Divine One, Jesus Christ. It was a powerful night of singing and prayer, very reminiscent of the … Read more
For a man that the Democrats say is unfit for office and in severe mental decline, Donald Trump is proving to be an incredible manipulator and is recalibrating the geopolitical makeup of the Globe with a surgeon’s precision. Democrats are mistaking the fact that they do not understand the level at which Trump and his … Read more
I have been debating as to what the Republican ticket will be in 2028. Vance/Rubio or Rubio/Vance. I think the Right can win with either combination, especially if it faces any combination of Newsom/Pritzker/Harris. I would pay to watch either Marco Rubio or JD Vance debate any of the potential Democratic nominees, and maybe they … Read more
We have seen enough examples of Democrats misrepresenting themselves to fool the naive voters. Abigail Spanberger is the poster child for candidates who run as a moderate and miraculously become a radical progressive when their hand touches the bible as they are sworn in. Some tell you exactly what they will be and get elected … Read more
I have been around the sun far too many times to think that corrupt politicians only live on the left side of the aisle. I am a firm believer that D.C. will pull the soul out of the strongest of men and women who go there with the best intentions. The temptations and opportunities to … Read more
The news was welcome this morning as Governor Janet Mills has withdrawn from her quest to replace Susan Collins in the U.S. Senate. I say it is welcome news as we can finally have a goodbye party to send Mills off to retirement and out of our pockets. In her stay in the Governor’s Mansion … Read more
I gave up on late-night TV, specifically late-night comedy, when Jay Leno left the scene. Maybe we were spoiled growing up with Johnny Carson and Jay Leno, but I think we witnessed the end of an era and with it, a period of good humor. These guys were funny, and it was never in a … Read more
I needed a few days before putting my thoughts to paper about another effort to bring down Donald Trump. The web and news were filled with “experts” giving their analysis of the shooting and the shooter, but the truth is, we may never know the true reason for this lapse in sanity, and this guy … Read more
I do not sleep well, and my day often starts at 2 am. I am actually participating in a sleep study at the University of Utah on the impact of cancer on sleep in patients and survivors. Glad to say I am in the latter group. I tend to do my deepest thinking and most … Read more
One of the things that is becoming more obvious as the years pass, and is really quite sad to a traditionalist like me, is our connection to our heritage. That connection could have been to nationality, religion, or both, but the reality is that in today’s culture, that connection is weak at best. I was … Read more
Sometimes you hear a story, and it snaps you back in time to the old supermarket tabloids where aliens were overtaking Mother Earth every week. Today’s story falls into the bizarre category, and you have to wonder if every elected official, from school board to city council, has lost their collective minds. According to multiple … Read more
Eric Swalwell is gone, and the Democrats need a new jester. There is stiff competition for the top clown, and the leading candidates are Tim Walz, Chris Murphy, and, on the outside, we have Ro Khanna. Walz and Murphy are sharing the stage in Barcelona, Spain, bashing America and our President, Donald Trump. There has … Read more
I needed a break today from politics and corruption. I fear those two words are becoming synonymous. There was a comment on one of my articles last week that made me smile, but it was also quite sad. I have been writing nearly every day for over 5 years, and the tone of politics and … Read more
Maybe Trump Derangement Syndrome is a convenient excuse to overlook the years of Eric Swalwell committing sexual crimes against God knows how many women. Maybe looking like total fools, telling their followers that we are losing the effort in Iran, is a distraction for Democratic Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, stealing $5M in FEMA funds meant for … Read more
Hank Johnson has been a member of Congress since 2007 and lives in the Atlanta area. I say he lives there rather than represents the people of Atlanta because Hank Johnson is a despicable human being. If the folks of Atlanta paid attention to his actions, they may choose someone else to represent them. I … Read more
The Democrats love to claim that they are the keepers of Democracy and that they are the Party of the working class. Maybe they were 60 years ago, though it seems like some of the senior Dems have been in office since the Kennedy years; they could not be more removed from my parents’ Democrat … Read more
I started this article on Monday, and by Monday afternoon, Eric Swalwell was no longer a member of Congress. Even though he tried in vain to proclaim his innocence, his political career was finally over. I am sure I am not the only person who wanted to give him the boot to get him out … Read more
I was in front of the laptop at 1:30 this morning, trying desperately to make some sense out of all the thoughts racing through my head. I was not succeeding. I was debating with myself, and losing terribly, about the purpose of government in my life and whether it has helped me or held me … Read more
This is rich, very, very, rich. The Party and the people who have held Four-Letter Vigils, excoriating President Donald Trump and telling him what he could do to himself as he is walking out the door, are now offended when that same President uses the identical fourth-grade, locker-room vocabulary on the greatest terrorists in the … Read more
