The election is over and the inauguration also. Donald Trump won and now we are left with the conflicting hopes and dreams of both those who voted for our new president and those who did not. I have many friends who did not and I have some things to say to them: 1. You are […]Read More
There’s a New Sheriff in Town: Donald Trump
I was hesitant to support Donald Trump and I will admit it. He is brash, arrogant and bull headed. There were too many rumors and critics around for him to win my support. But he was also outside of the Washington political club and a business man, so I had hopes. Besides, there was no […]Read More
Cabinet Confirmation Hearings and Differing Opinions
Is this something new to political appointments or is President Elect Trump not watching his steps? Trump is reported to have said that he wants his nominees to speak their mind, not his. This is in contradistinction to the usual position of cabinet level appointees who are expected to give up their opinions in favor […]Read More
Culture Shock – The Clash of Realities
My Facebook page has picked up signals that all is not well in post-election America. There are those who are petrified with fear over Donald Trump’s energy and action in making sweeping changes to our land. They long for the good old days of Obama’s “fundamental change of America.” They even tout how great it […]Read More
Shoot the Russians. They told us Bad Things!

It was not the people on the street. They do not care who lives in the White House as long they have a job, take care of their family and can watch football on Sunday. It was not the religious. They forgo football on Sunday or Saturday to worship in their churches and synagogues – thousands […]Read More
I just caught a glance at a comment that we are headed for rough times under Donald Trump where various groups will once again become marginalized. It seemed to imply that there has been great gains in the last several years in the granting of favor and rights to groups that previously had no standing […]Read More
I wrote earlier about the prediction in the 1960, by Alvin Toffler that our society would reach a point where war would not be nation against nation, but sub-culture against sub-culture in our own streets. This morning’s headlines further underscore the accuracy of Toffler’s predictions and of the breakdown of our American Dream. We were […]Read More
The Inverted Power of Government – POWER FAILURE!
Right, left and moderate are common political designations, which, for the most part, says very little about the content of one’s political philosophy. Even our current group of presidential candidates seem to struggle to communicate what they believe at the very core of their political philosophy. Some try to communicate an image by identifying with […]Read More
