They’re at it again. The deep state shows, once again, how low they estimate the intelligence of the American people to be. They seem to believe that if they issue a report with an official sounding title authored by someone or some thing with an official sounding name, that Americans will believe absolutely ANYTHING they are told. And, they may
On of the most surprising things I encountered when I visited Russia recently was the COMPLETE absence of the visible signs of the Communist era. During my entire two week visit, I saw the “hammer and sickle logo” only ONCE. And that was in an out of the way engraving in the outside foyer of a civic building. It was
On this Memorial Day, I would like to repost a poem (originally posted 5/29/17) that I’ve written for the brave men and women in our armed forces: Vouchsafed For Us They volunteer to go where few will venture. They walk to the door of terror and then they enter. Their hearts beat with courage so strong. With fortitude and stamina
The term “carte blanche”, borrowed from the French, means, literally, a “clean slate”. It’s modern usage, however, usually implies full discretionary power and complete freedom to say or act as one thinks best. We (society) sometimes grant “carte blanch”, unofficially, of course, to politicians, celebrities and other VIPs whose virtues we wish to celebrate and whose faults we wish to
Well, it looks like the tiger has caught up to and bitten his own tail. The Russia probe is spinning out of control and seems now to be mostly impugning its own proponents. The deeper the investigations go, the worse the Clinton campaign, the Democrats and the deep state FBI, DOJ and CIA look. And, in this unusual state of
If one follows contemporary political discussion in the mainstream media, editorial columns and the internet, the issues are often made to seem complicated and abstruse. When this happens these issues become muddled, at which time the “muddlers” use this confusion to advance their particular agendas. But the truth is that many of these so called “complicated” problems are not, in
It has long been a leftist trope that Hitler’s Nazi Party was an “extreme right wing” organization. This categorization conveniently (for leftists) distances them from the horrendous atrocities committed in the first half of the 20th century by the Nazis. I have long been suspicious, however, of this categorization. My suspicions began years ago while considering the formal name that
A couple of weeks ago I posted an essay (Times Up Mr. Mueller!, 4/20/18) whose theme was that’s it’s time for Special Counsel Robert Mueller to close his “investigation.” And, readers may recall, I had previously posted a number of articles in which I warned that President Trump should refuse to meet with Mueller under ANY circumstances, as it was
Since the majority of American news sources almost never bestow accolades on President Trump, and since they inundate him daily with unheard amounts of opprobrium, and since his own tweets often confuse the situation more than they help, it’s easy to lose sight of the fact that….he’s done a TERRIFIC job. In order to try and rectify this egregious state
On April 27, the United States House Permanent Select Committee issued its FINAL REPORT certifying that it could find no evidence of collusion between Donald Trump and the Russian Government. Earlier reports from the same committee established that the whole Trump/Russia collusion issue was started by a false “dossier” that was financed by the Mr. Trump’s political OPPONENT, Hillary Clinton
