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

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

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

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

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

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.  They and their followers are going to try and disrupt any evidence of the January 6^th 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.

This nation is in serious trouble.  We have members of Congress threatening violence to members of the opposing political party.  Opponents to the recent infrastructure legislation are threatening legislators who voted for the bill.  The five Minnesota Congress people who voted against the bill will still see the benefits of the legislation in their districts. … Continue reading Our nation is in serious trouble
