A classic aphorism from yesteryear goes: “It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.” It appears, however, that many contemporary Americans have FORGOTTEN this sage advice. People are speaking up in record numbers and, by doing so, are establishing their “fool” credentials inexorably. Some recent examples: The reader
Opponents of a barrier wall along our Mexican border try to portray advocates of the wall as cruel and uncaring louts that haven’t a grain of human compassion. These opponents complain loud and long about “heartless” provincials that care not for their fellow man. They stand in self righteous condemnation of all those who disagree with them. But, dear readers,
In a way, you have to take pity on contemporary American media. Their obsession with slinging mud at our President has become increasingly difficult for them. Because Mr. Trump has done such a good job with our nation’s economy, its military standing, international affairs and security, they have been forced to SCROUNGE for mud to sling. They’ve had to make
Networks CNN and MSNBC are treating the release of James Comey’s notes on his conversations with President Trump as the biggest thing since SLICED BREAD. These notes, together with his self serving book titled, get this, “A Higher Loyalty”, have been viewed by liberal media as more anti-Trump “evidence”. (Big surprise!)

Time’s up, Mr. Mueller. Time to move along now. Time to get going. America has indulged your farce of an investigation long enough, and is beginning to lose its patience with you. Either you bring your colossal fishing expedition to a conclusion or you recuse yourself from the investigation or President Trump should do so instead. The argument that Mr.
RecentlyI I had the opportunity to experience a unique work of experiential art that was built on the campus of Rice University, in Houston, Texas. It was called “Twilight Epiphany” and was created by contemporary artist James Turrell. It is an outdoor work of art in which the viewer actually enters inside. From a distance it looks like a Mayan
Comey continues to amaze! A couple of months ago, James Comey, testifying before the House Committee, admitted that he leaked classified information. But that was OKAY, he proffered, because it was for a “good cause” you see. He felt that a special prosecutor should be appointed to investigate Trump/Russia “collusion” and his leaks were intended to bring that about….Well, OKAY
There’s a chilling quote that dates back to the first half of the twentieth century by a member of Russian Secretary General Josef Stalin’s inner circle that that bears consideration even today, some seven decades later. The quote was made by Soviet Marshal Lavrentiy Beria, who, in addition to being a Stalin confidant, functioned as Director Of Security and also
On Wednesday Red Sox pitcher Joe Kelly made a bad decision. After intentionally hitting Yankee first baseman Tyler Austin, Kelly was treated to a bit more than just a “Bronx Cheer.” Kelly’s pitch was indisputably deliberate as it struck Austin ON HIS BACK. It wasn’t a “brush back” or an “expanding the strike zone” pitch. It came in at NINETY
Errata: There is an error in my last post (Don’t Think There’s A Deep State? Think again., 4/12/18). I listed James Clapper as previous head of the CIA. The correct listing should have been John Brennan. Clapper was Director of National Intelligence. I regret the error.
