Post Election Protocol

Trump is headed for victory on Tuesday and by all indications he’ll win by a landslide. This begs the question “what will be his first priorities” post election? We all know he needs to drain the swamp, but where to begin? Hopefully, he’s done his homework, gathered mountains of evidence and already begun the process of cleaning house with redundancies, firings and new appointments to the many...

The Way I See It

I’ve suspected for years certain politicians have used their power in unethical, even illegal ways to achieve their ends. Since I believe ends do not justify means, this suspicion is disturbing to say the least. Now we see actual evidence proving such behaviors by many individuals indicating some kind of conspiracy has been at work after all, particularly since Trump came on scene.

To My Liberal Pals

For years I’ve been writing my opinions on the state of America.

When I was a kid we had an expression, maybe you did too – sticks & stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me! The adult version became  –  actions speak louder than words. Many of us have trouble with Trump because of the way he speaks and comes across. There’s very little polish or finesse, suggesting he isn’t educated or refined. Maybe, although we know he went to college. Refined? Social graces?...

It seems particularly appropriate for what I am about to describe here. For the longest time Hollywood stars and luminaries, sports celebrities and heroes and mega-wealthy business people and entrepreneur types {like the owners of sports franchises} have used their popularity/wealth as...

Stretching Polity To The Limit

When the pilgrims came to America looking for a place to practice religion and escape tyranny they were by definition a polity: a group of similar-minded people who wished to live free away from the domineering chains of monarchy. This was the start of a new experimental society that would govern itself and worship God as it saw fit. They did this for a time, but gradually the reach of authority and dictates of commerce...
