According to the progressive far-left, if you disagree with an African-American president’s policies, it’s because you are a racist. If you believe that–shock–there are differences in males and females beyond body parts, you are a sexist. So if you are unwilling to vote for Mrs. Clinton, it is probably because you’re a sexist. If you […]

Yesterday saw all three of the major U.S. stock indexes reach new all time highs, and today the Dow is over 19000 for the first time ever. The post-election Trump bull continues to run, but for how long? Almost all economic prognosticators expected the market to go down after the election, albeit for different […]

Talking Trade – I, Woollen Coat
16 Nov 2016
During the campaign, president-elect Trump was occasionally Narcissistic, evidenced political Inexperience, was sometimes Thin-skinned, and often Short tempered (NITS). However, his acceptance speech sought “… to bind the wounds of division”. Since the election he has had a long meeting with President Obama and has been conferring with members of the Republican Party. Donald J. Trump has […]

Trumpian optimism
11 Nov 2016

This moment has been a long time coming. On Saturday, October 8, 2016, Evangelicals arrived at a crossroads. How did Evangelicals arrive here? They put their hope in the political process. They believed the Supreme Court controlled the culture. They wedded themselves to a political party that took them for granted. They developed a psychological […]

To Vote, or Not to Vote
02 Oct 2016
Evangelicals Disagree President Franklin D. Roosevelt is reported to have said, “Nobody will ever deprive the American people of the right to vote except the American people themselves and the only way they could do this is by not voting.” I agree. I also agree that the upcoming presidential election presents one of the most […]
