Who said, “voting does not matter….counting votes does”?—Joseph Stalin. It seems that the emphasis on so many contested elections has been on the process of counting votes. Certainly, in this day and age, the ability for ballots to be manipulated is of great concern to those who want to protect the election process. Technology can […]

Family, Faith, and Politics
As the post-election out briefs and political autopsies begin following the presidential election of Nov. 3rd, there is one finding that neither side can refute: This most recent Presidential election has revealed an America drifting apart. We are living as the Wall Street Journal describes in a world of “blue and red bubbles” Democrats live in […]
Homicide or Suicide?
In my post last week, I was extremely critical of the RINOs in the Republican Party who not only sat out the Presidential election, but also gave little support to down-ballot candidates. Donald Trump had to do everything on his own. The Bushies, Mittens, Little John Kasich, frat boy Paul Ryan, and pothead Jon Boehner […]
Affection and Respect
Jason Whitlock is a giant in the field of sports broadcasting. Because he is a Black Man with a conservative point of view, he was fired from Fox Sports. He has now become the head of his own broadcasting company and is more successful than ever. Last night in an interview on his former employer’s […]
Trump 2020 – 2024
I am writing this missive on post- Election Day 3. As I was driving down State Street today, a lady saw my Trump hat and pointing to it said, “pray.” “Always,” I responded. The stock market is up 1,000 points not because “Hiden Joe” looks to have won, but because it looks like for the […]
Supply and Demand in Health Care
We are now at the stage in the COVID-19 Pandemic where we can look at the responses of different countries and the impact that different designs in health care systems have had on outcomes. Just like in our country Europe is experiencing a second surge of COVID-19 patients testing positive and in some places hospital […]
Golf and the Supreme Court
As a golfer, I have developed a deep reverence for not only the rules of the game, but also a respect for the underlying ethics and principles that serve as the foundation for all forms of competition—from the US Open and the Masters to a crew game with skins game side bets on Friday morning […]
There has been much discussion about the infectivity, virulence, morbidity and mortality of the Covid virus and unfortunately the discussion by the media and the progressive democrats has driven a false narrative that is purely politically motivated. Today we are told that yesterday there are 88,000 new Covid cases and 1000 new deaths. WE aren’t […]
Open Up Now!
So there is positive news about the dreaded Covid Virus that is not being reported in the mainstream media and is not being considered by our Governor or his task force. The good news is that for young healthy people like me—I am 70 years old—and people who do not have co-morbid conditions we should […]
Drain the Swamp
In today’s Wall Street Journal Admiral William McRaven—the former head of the Navy Seals endorsed Joe Biden for President, Like John McCain, Colin Powell, and other warrior politicians that have come before him, the good Admiral’s service should be respected, but the attempt to leverage and then insert their service into a public policy or […]
A Toast to Donald Trump
President Donald Trump has condemned racism, white supremacy, bigotry, sexism, “and all and any forms of hatred” more than any other President in history. And anyone who desires can prove it. Like Abraham Lincoln and unlike most modern day politicians President Trump renounced all forms of hatred before he ever entered into politics. Unlike Lincoln, […]
We Feed Them
By now everybody has seen or heard the CNN interview between Nancy Pelosi and Wolf Blitzer. In the last few lines that I reference below you can begin to understand everything about their warped and self- centered concepts of philosophical agency, charity, and their own positions as they relate to those unfortunate amongst us who […]
