I see this as a very critical time in our country’s future. We are hearing about these situations involving Chinese or Islamic immigrants, both legal and illegal, and we cannot dismiss them as individual events. There is a connection here that we must identify and have the courage to stand up to these invaders before … Read more
I realize I devoted my most recent article to the Islamic invasion of America. Still, I absorbed a plethora of information over the weekend about the depth of the fraud and corruption in Minnesota, and now in Maine, that I feel we cannot cover this situation enough. A friend of ours is from Edina, which is a … Read more
Growing up in Lawrence, Massachusetts, in the 50’s and 60’s was a very early education in the impact of various nationalities and religions on a community. There were no walls or boundaries, but each nationality had its own unique section of the city with ethnic grocery stores and churches named after its patron saints. I, … Read more
A reader chimed in after one of my recent articles. I said, chiming in to be kind. He really dropped the hammer on me for being too vague in my criticism of the Democratic Party. He condemned me for lacking specifics and called me a hack. Well, I looked past my archive of over 1,800 … Read more
I mentioned in my last article that the governors of three of the country’s poorest-performing states aspire to be the Democratic nominee for President in 2028. California, Illinois, and Minnesota are all in a death spiral, entirely attributable to mismanagement at the top. And, by the top, I do not mean Donald Trump, even though … Read more
The fraud crisis in Minnesota is getting worse, and the plot thickens by the day. The latest evaluation puts the potential lost dollars at $9 billion. That is not just Minnesota funds lost in the wind, as some of these programs targeted were federal, like Medicaid, and therefore, it was all our money; we all … Read more
There are two problems I see when I get frustrated over the lack of outrage about the billions of dollars stolen from social safety-net programs in Minnesota and probably beyond. One is that I don’t think fraud generates enough angst toward those who took something by deceptive practices, and the other is the unified effort … Read more
I have always had a problem with media celebrities who elevate themselves above the event they are covering. This unfortunate occurrence can happen whether it’s a news or a sporting event. The usual solution is the handy mute button, which works if you can still see the event, but it does not provide the remedy … Read more
There are no redeeming qualities to Representative Al Green (D-TX). He is a disrespectful and rude individual who suffers from Trump Derangement Syndrome and whose sole purpose in Congress is to file impeachment papers on Donald Trump. Green just filed his seventh attempt at removing Trump from the White House. Like the previous six, he … Read more
As a football fan, the Army-Navy game does not always live up to its hype. The teams are not usually outstanding, as, let’s face it, football is not why these athletes are here. This yearly event is a ritual in which the athletes representing two of our service academies get together to play for bragging … Read more
Maybe it is old-school thinking that people who run for office at any level, but especially the President, should be from the best and brightest of Americans. They should be someone we can look to, and who can unite and guide us toward a better America. That is not a slur on the present America, … Read more
Kamala Harris is not ready to be written off, but that assumes she was ever on. Kamala was not. It is very sad to watch her desperately try to stay in the spotlight. It is amazing that the two women whom Donald Trump defeated to become President cannot accept the loss and move on. They … Read more
I am not going to go back too far in time, only to 2020 and the Summer of Love. In the last five years, the Democrats have given us enough to show that they are more concerned and bigger fans of people who commit crimes against Americans than they are of the actual victims of … Read more
The public school system in America has been on a mission for decades. I used the timeframe of 50 years in today’s article title because it coincides with the Department of Education’s founding. Jimmy Carter already locked up the worst presidency in history, until Joe Biden moved into the White House, so adding the Department … Read more
The numbers from Minnesota are staggering, but with the same people doing the reporting on the magnitude of the Somali fraud cases, as the ones duped by the Somali cartel, can you trust their findings? The latest estimates are in the billions of dollars of Minnesota resident tax dollars that were stolen from various government … Read more
This latest action by Representative Sandy Cortez (D-NY) is rich in so many ways and can be scrutinized in as many ways. She was responding to the President’s comments about the recent video by a small group of Democratic members of Congress and former military or intelligence personnel, which warned enlisted members of the military … Read more
Did anyone really think that bringing a tribal culture to a strange land, mixed with government incompetence and a blind eye, would have a favorable ending? Our government may have the best of intentions, but it rarely thinks things through, and God forbid it looks at past results. We have a history of intervening in … Read more
We need to keep our eye on the ball and not be distracted by the number of Socialists elected to office in this most current election. While we are debating whether Zohran Mamdani is now the Mayor of New York City or whether Katie Wilson managed to win the mayoral race in Seattle, we have … Read more
We love Maine and have a year-round home in Central Maine that we spend half our time in. We have an incredible circle of friends and have found a church that has become a big part of our lives. Maine is blessed with location and natural resources: a beautiful rocky coast, majestic mountains for hiking … Read more
Well, I never envisioned when I started to chronicle my journey to remission that I would be pushing 50 chapters. I was hoping for the six-part mini-series, and not months of Law and Order. As I have said many times, this challenge is out of my hands, and either God is unhappy with me, or … Read more
