My last column begged the question, “Do we really want every relationship to be based on politics?” In other words, do we only want to associate with people and maintain business relationships with folks who think exactly the same way we do? Since it’s impossible for someone to think exactly as you do (and thank […]
Yeah, I wrote one of those columns. One that gets me calls of adoration (OK, I’m stretching that) and support from one side and creates outrage and claims of denigration on the other. Truthfully, it was all very predictable. I say this for two reasons. First, the column was written flat out from a very […]
Remember just a few short weeks ago, when the left declared a constitutional — or humanitarian, or immigration power of the president or Trump is, of course, evil — crisis on our border that had to be foremost after the last crisis in Washington, D.C.? Well, I don’t recall the one before, either. But I […]
I’m beginning to wonder. What stories will our kids tell their kids? Will it be ones of the butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker? Because these days it feels more like the baker and the red hen faker. Is this really the point we’re at in our country? While you might have a differing […]
….will stay these couriers from the swift completion of their delivery of gloom. Bad play on words? Perhaps. But if you get mail, you get what I mean. And that’s just the Republican junk mail stuffed into my mailbox when I opened it yesterday — after ignoring it for a week or so as is […]
I know I tend to write a lot about the national political scene. But national political topics are important to me because my first reference on them is the Constitution, and that’s where I always go when it comes to any law. To understand my mind (well, as I understand my mind) I base everything […]
We all recall John Edwards’ campaign story about how there are two Americas and how that story was used to drive a wedge between the “haves” and “have nots.” And since Edwards was using the politics of envy to garner votes, he made sure to tell you that you were indeed a “have not.” Fortunately […]
I know I’ve written that statement what seems to me a million times. And I’m beginning to think if I write it a million more, it will be just as effective on the people who believe government is the be-all and end-all to having every answer needed to mankind — which is not at all. […]
Now by Russia, I don’t mean Vladimir Putin’s Russia, although I’m sure he’s enjoying all the hullabaloo going on in Washington. And now, out of nowhere, New York. No. The Russia I’m talking about is the whole Donald Trump-Russia “collusion” myth that’s prompted a never-ending investigation based on nothing that goes anywhere and everywhere in […]
Boy was I happy to be away last weekend and not see all the social media videos from the “March for our Lives” event. And, yes, I mean that. Not about the march’s initial message, but about the videos I saw of the “messengers” with their profanity-laced attacks, ignorance and hatred of those who think […]
