Last week the news coverage of the weaponized automobile massacre (WAM) in New York City by Islamic terrorist Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov is yet another example of what major media newscasters in the United States have become: mindless automatons. Despite the fact that Saipov’s attack followed the precise pattern of similar Islamist attacks that have become extremely common in Europe over
It would appear that public life in America moves ahead incredibly fast these days. Since posting my Trump Agenda Update yesterday, new developments now require an update of the update. Of most importance, the Supreme Court dismissed the suit from Hawaii that attempted to block President Trump’s travel ban. It was suspected that the Court might just have elected to
Recently a friend of mine emailed me to ask for an update on America’s political scene as he had been traveling in Europe for a couple of weeks (thanks MEO). I replied with the following brief synopsis. All of the material mentioned below is available online, but I print it here because many of the developments are either not mentioned
You’re not likely to hear it from our nation’s major media, but the Trump agenda continues to advance: 1. ISIS Decimated. Today US backed troops in Syria have taken back Raqqa, the capitol of the ISIS “caliphate”. It was stunning to see the victorious resistance giving a press conference from the heart of this city.

I don’t know for sure who will win the 2017 American League Championship Series, or the World Series, but I bet you can guess who I’m rooting for.

Issues involving the First Amendment have been in the news often of late. This is, of course, not surprising, because the First Amendment is the basis on which our personal freedoms rest. The five freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment are: freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom to assemble, freedom to petition the government, and freedom of religion.
I LIKE it! I really do! Although I am usually a bit wary of President Trump’s Twitter feed, I have to admit that I like this one. Many times I find Trump’s missives on Twitter to be sophomoric and unnecessary, but this time, I’m “on board” with it. We are ALL aware of Mr. Trump’s penchant for schoolyard put downs.
