“Trump: Bully, Liar, Sexual Opportunist, Narcissist! President???” March 17-18, 2018 “Beware the Ides of March!” This is a phrase now made famous by Shakespeare’s play, “Julius Caesar” which seems apropos for this week in our nation’s capital. Not only has Trump gone from tirade to tirade, tweeting his instability all over the internet…he has discovered [...]
“A White House in Chaos”
“A White House in Chaos” March 4-7, 2018 Yesterday, while working outside building a pool pump house, in the distance I heard the “bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam” of a semi-automatic rifle. Someone, probably a guy, was shooting his [...]
The Anti-Christian Alt-Right”
“The Anti-Christian Alt-Right” I recently read an article in “First Things” (March, 2018 – Number 281, pp 29-34) by Matthew Rose, which provided real clarity for me as to the philosophical base of what is called “Alt-Right.” This particular phenomenon has been particularly troublesome since before and during our last election process of 2016, and [...]
“Deep State vs Deep S…t”
“Deep State or Deep S..t” Having exercised considerable restraint over the past few weeks so as not to comment publicly on our inane president, I find myself constrained now to say a few words about the latest debacle emerging out of the Trump White House and the equally inept Republican leadership in Congress of both [...]
“Circling the Drain”

President Trump is presiding over one of the most dramatic flushing of the rights and privileges of individuals living in [...]
“A Fractured White House”
January 3, 2018 “A Fractured White House” My daughter upon watching the evening news in which President Trump is blasting Steve Bannon, his former White House Advisor as “having lost his mind”, this same Steve Bannon reporting “treasonous behavior” in the Trump White House, Bannon referring to Trump’s son and son-in-law in their discussions of [...]
“The Gift of Jerusalem”
“The Gift of Jerusalem” “And it came to pass after these things, that God did test Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, behold here I am. And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him [...]
“The End of A Presidency”
“The End of a Presidency” The erosion of the presidency of Donald Trump from the first day is evident, but of late the acceleration of the steady “drip, drip, drip” of damaging and revelatory material keeps on coming! President Trump’s latest tweets in the past 24 hours show a man increasingly desperate to write a [...]
“An Excellent Guy”
“Excellent Guy” or “Liar” October 31, 2017 George Papadopoulos was trashed by Trump today, after being indicted in the Russia inquiry. Papadopoulos pleaded guilty weeks ago to lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russian nationals, who had contacted him in an attempt to gain influence with the Trump campaign. Papadopoulos worked as a [...]
