SEA OF AMBIVALENCE ?

SEA OF AMBIVALENCE ?

Our republic is sometimes referred to as a Ship of State, many favoring this metaphor since its imagery is easy to understand. People can relate to being confined on a ship subject to the whims of not only its captain/crew but also the seaworthiness of the ship itself – and don’t forget, the SEA! If one agrees, for years we’ve had a motley crew, it could be they’ve damaged our ship almost beyond repair. They did it...

MY LETTER TO DIEGO

MY LETTER TO DIEGO

Hello my friend. It was nice seeing you the other day and catching up on things. After all these years we still think alike. Only a few areas of discord which I think credits our friendship and the respect we have for one another. So, I hope it’s safe to say I think you see things from the Latino/Hispanic perspective and it influences your thoughts and judgement. Take this rounding up illegals thing. It goes without...

Question: why did she recently post on internet the message/warning – they’re eating babies!? This came out...

SETTING THINGS STRAIGHT

SETTING THINGS STRAIGHT

We’ve all heard the phrase Justice Delayed is Justice Denied! Trump is about to close out his first year in office. When you think back to the promises he made, along with the promises his staffers made, we have to wonder – what the heck happened to Justice? Everywhere we look there are bad guys, black hats, plotters, schemers, perpetrators walking around free as birds, some still doing jobs in which they breached our...
