November is now not just a comin, it’s here. Americans have the chance to reward the Democrats for their performance with continued power, or they have the chance to fire them. We haven’t blogged much this fall about the elections, so this morning I’ll hit a few observations lightly. We can go more in-depth in […]

The Obvious Retort to Mr. Biden
01 Sep 2022
President Biden, Mr. Unity himself, went full force on attacking what he calls MAGA Republicans* tonight, as they represent “an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.” Let’s assume Mr. Biden really believes this, and this is not just more of the over-the-top rhetoric that both Mr. Biden and Mr. Trump love to […]

As a life-long NY Yankees fan, I’ve been blessed to watch some amazing teams and amazing players compete to bring World Series wins back to the Bronx. One of those amazing players, who was a key part of multiple championships, was Mariano Rivera. He was initially called Mr. Sandman, because he was super-smooth in his […]

As San Fransisco voters overwhelmingly recalled three school board members recently, there are a lot of commentaries on the push-back to the woke progressivist agenda. In this particular case, these members’ priorities were seemingly not on educating children, but renaming schools that included names of Lincoln and Washington, because of their imperfect past. But perhaps […]

WSJ Absolutely Nails Trump Impeachment
09 Feb 2021
For lack of wood the fire goes out, and where there is no whisperer, quarreling ceases. Whatever your political persuasion, I think most of us could agree that Donald Trump’s biggest harm to our country was manipulating a subset of his supporters to believe that what was in his interest, was the country’s deepest political need. At the […]

President Trump has been impeached again, and this evening, the single article will be delivered to the Senate, where a trial is expected to begin on February 8th. The evidence of what happened is beside the point. President Trump’s speech is on the record, and members themselves donned ventilators, crouched beneath tables, and watched as […]

Never let an insurrection go to waste.
14 Jan 2021
Unfortunately that seems to be the unofficial new motto of the Democratic house leadership and by press reports, the new administration. What we need right now is thoughtful, calm, and quiet leadership. I pray, and would encourage our leadership, at every step of the way your goal should be to defuse the tensions in our […]

And sometimes it’s really hard to know which of the two roads you follow. One of the contractors I used to work with years ago used to routinely quip, “what good is that going to lead to?” It’s a reasonable quip for us today. There is so much we could say about Mr. Trump, his […]
