Memorial Day 2020
On this day, and for all eternity, grateful Americans honor those whose love for their country and for freedom was greater than that of their own lives. Thank you and may God rest your souls.

The COVID-19 Socialist Trap
Written in conjunction with guest writer LRM. The COVID-19 pandemic seems on its way to becoming all things to all people. Many people see it as unfathomable daemon, but the Democrats, however, see it as a HUGE OPPORTUNITY. The pandemic, they feel, gives them the chance to remake our democracy into the socialist state of their dreams. And they appear

Democrat Agonistes
The Democrats, for the last three and a half years, have lived, breathed and dreamt of only ONE thing. They have desired, sought after and coveted only ONE thing. From the time they open their bloodshot eyes in the morning to the time they enter into a restless sleep, they see only ONE thing: the removal of Donald Trump from

Setting The Record Straight
Our national media is filled with slanted reporting, misleading analysis and false conclusions. Some of it is quite blatant but some of it requires a bit of looking into to expose the duplicity. And some current narratives really “cry out” to have someone set the record straight. A few examples: First, consider the Hydroxycholoquine controversy. Because President Trump was enthusiastic

The Wuhan Coincidence: One Simple Point
The Wuhan Virus Coincidence: One Simple Point Dear Readers, I’ve decided to put a limited number of forthcoming essays in a new format that I’ll call: “One Simple Point.” While many issues of the day are complicated problems requiring multifaceted analysis, some issues need a more focused approach.

A Nation Sized Petri Dish
While researching my recent essays on the Wuhan Virus, I came to a shocking conclusion: ALL of the world’s viral pandemics began in China. I’ll repeat that: ALL of the world’s viral pandemics began in China! This was quite a revelation for me; I had NEVER seen it laid out as such in any book or taught by any educator.

Shooting From The Hip
Fox newscaster Bret Baier drew flack from conservative commentators on Sunday when he disputed President Trump’s claim that Trump’s comments about “washing out lungs with disinfectants” were “sarcastic.” Mr. Baier opined that: “that’s not how it looked.” Although I don’t generally condone criticism of Mr. Trump from the “same side of the aisle”, so to speak, (there’s MORE than enough

As So Many Die
The following is a meditation on the COVID-19 pandemic. I wrote this in free verse, as neither rhyme nor meter seemed appropriate for this most discordant and chaotic disease. As So Many Die As so many die, We, the living, breathe, And walk, And wonder. What does the future hold? Will I be next? Will those I love be

Instant Diagnoses
Being a student of contemporary American culture for many years I have long speculated on how one might characterize the various luminaries that inhabit the public square. Recently it’s occurred to me that it’s possible to make INSTANT diagnoses for many of them. Usually a word or two does the trick. Occasionally an individual qualifies for multiple diagnoses, in which

Run Its Course?
In the midst of a pandemic which has stricken over TWO MILLION PEOPLE and killed nearly ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY THOUSAND world wide, and which has killed nearly 46,000 Americans, many people appear bent on demonstrating their own ignorance and callousness. Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot has ignored Chicago’s social distancing rules in order to have her HAIR COLORED. Her gray
