For the past three years we have heard President Donald Trump complain about how the media treats him unfairly.  I think some of his criticism is unwarranted and he uses this complaint to fire up his base.  But overall the media has treated both him and his administration unfairly.  We all remember some of the… Continue reading FAKE NEWS OR REAL NEWS:  HARD TO TELL THESE DAYS

I have not written anything in this blog for over a week because I have been watching the hearings in the House and trying to make some sense out of what the witnesses have said. What it comes down to is simple. The career service people in the State Department all seem to believe that… Continue reading Impeachment and a Couple of Other Things

As we approach the end of the year, we will soon be into the actual election year of 2020. Presidential politics are ramping up and we have already seen some of the Democrat pretenders drop by the wayside. As we head into 2020, I see a difficult situation developing.  If you look at the state of… Continue reading Presidential Politics: 2020

Earlier this month I was back in Washington DC to play in a charity golf event at my former golf club, The Robert Trent Jones Golf Club. At the dinner, on Saturday night former President Barrack Obama (a member of the club) and Tony Kornheiser sat down and had a conversation for those in attendance.… Continue reading Civility in Society

From a close friend of mine she refused to accept that results and became unmanageable in the hotel suite. The report given to… Continue reading Hillary Clinton on Russian Conspiracies and Her Own Delusions

This race has come down to three leading… Continue reading Democrat’s Debating Each Other and Saying Nothing

Colin Kaepernick This week Colin Kaepernick inserted himself into the news once again by complaining that he is not being given a chance to compete in the NFL and according to his agent it is all because of his controversial political views. I will admit that I think there is a grain of truth in… Continue reading Week at a Glance

In my opinion, President Trump has completely mishandled a couple of important things in the past week. First, the impeachment effort by the Democrats. He has come out swinging when he should have remained quiet and allowed surrogates to carry the fight. The Democrats in the House are playing political games with this issue and… Continue reading Two Bad Decisions By President Trump

As we continue to march down the road towards the Democrats filing Articles of Impeachment against President Trump, we have to look at some of the facts, some of the assumptions and some of the actions of the players. It is like a carousel and there are many horses on the merry-go-round that we have… Continue reading The Impeachment Merry-Go-Round
