Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin had met five times. Each meeting was held with only interpreters present. After the meetings the interpreters were told not to reveal any information of the items the two discussed. After one of the meetings, the former president was asked by a reporter the content of the discussions. The former… Continue reading Mar-a-Lago

A win by 45?
Our last president was a failure in many ways. One item he has been a success at is convincing his followers and others to distrust the media. I live with other seniors who have voiced their assumptions on disbelieving the news. Many would not know the difference between objective and subjective news. Objective is factual… Continue reading A win by 45?
Loser1
The defeated forty-fifth president gave us an insight of what his regime would look like if he is re-elected in 2024. He has always been a fan of authoritarian rule and has said “Putin is a genius.” If he and other Republicans are elected to run this country, I am sure our alliances will change… Continue reading Loser1
Political Changes
This nations citizenry scares the hell out of me. We have a political party that has been trying to kill our democracy and install a fascist style of government. Let’s take a look at the items that have changed in the last two years: State Republican legislatures have passed laws disenfranchising a number of voters. … Continue reading Political Changes
God and #45
I heard a woman exclaim on television that God wanted Trump as President of our country. She must have a different God than the one I worship. Her god accepts a person who is a narcissist, misogynistic, racist and a bully. His principles involve lying, mocking the disabled, grabbing women between the legs and calling… Continue reading God and #45
First Amendment
My professional life was spent as a newspaper publisher. I have a great love and respect for our First Amendment to our Constitution guaranteeing our freedom of speech and freedom of the press. Those freedoms come with responsibilities. Nothing irritates me more than all of the misinformation and disinformation offered by the many computer platforms… Continue reading First Amendment
Making Sense
Nothing makes sense anymore – no values, no morals, and no civility. People are dying of a Chinese virus, but it’s racist to refer to it as Chinese even though it began in China. We are clearly living in an upside-down world where right is wrong and wrong is right, where moral is immoral and… Continue reading Making Sense
No Fly Zone
I have been noticing a number of letters calling for the United States to protect a “no fly” zone over Ukraine. Some accuse President Biden of being soft and not being contentious against the Putin invasion of that country. There is no doubt that such an action would further escalate the war and draw us… Continue reading No Fly Zone
Kistner
The article concerning the 2022 vote in the Second District with Angie Craig against Tyler Kistner is interesting. I am a supporter of Craig, but I still would like some answers from Kistner. I believe he had a slogan that expressed the thought of “send a Marine to do the job.” Marines are trained for… Continue reading Kistner
With the House January 6 Committee televised hearings and the mid-term elections coming up this year, I think that the Republican politicians should take the oath of office and pledge their allegiance to the forty-fifth president and skip any mention of the Constitution. They and their followers are going to try and disrupt any evidence of the January 6th attempted coup on our democracy. Unfortunately, they have millions of brain-washed electorates who will believe that the riot was only a tourist situation gone wrong.
By leaving the Constitution out of the pledge they can show where their true alliances subsist. We will be able to see exactly the true sentiments of those elected to power and try to adjust the loss of many of our freedoms. According to reports I have read; the televised hearings will have evidence of… Continue reading With the House January 6 Committee televised hearings and the mid-term elections coming up this year, I think that the Republican politicians should take the oath of office and pledge their allegiance to the forty-fifth president and skip any mention of the Constitution.
