It is January 6, 2023. It is two years ago today that a mob of un-Americans laid siege to our Capital in the hopes of retaining Donald J. Trump in the office of the Presidency. Donald Trump and his many minions had prepared for that day and some of them actively helped to stoke the …
I have tried to keep my comments, on current affairs, in the middle of the political aisle, but recent events are not all political – many are better described within the context of terrorism. I think it is time for me to strip off all the varnish and call it like I see it. Our …
The Reconstruction Era is the period from 1865-1877. Our Civil War was fought between 1861-1865 so it took four years to fight the war and twelve years for the “Reconstruction” – Three times longer for “Reconstruction” than for the war. What was the plan? To be fair, I must offer a disclaimer so that everyone …
This morning our media is filled to overflowing with commentary about a leaked draft of a Supreme Court Opinion dealing with the future of Roe v. Wade. Never mind that this was largely expected given the partisan makeup of the Court. The real story here is not what the Court may be getting ready to …
To date, I have written two books dealing with our Federal Government – A Broken Sausage Grinder; Is Our Government Fundamentally Flawed?, and Our American Story: Fixing the Sausage Grinder. In my research for both books, I have discovered events in our history that were not referenced in my history books. I have also discovered …
Our history is filled with discussions and even disagreements about the character or our Constitutional government.

We’re starting to learn just how close Donald Trump and his loyal followers, domestic enemies of our United States of America, came to successfully overthrowing our government. They came perilously close to ending our republican democracy. Apparently close isn’t good enough. It may not be well understood, but our Founding Fathers actually thought about the …
I have written in other places that in August of 1619 when the first black Africans were brought to our North America shores, slavery and racism arrived at that exact same time. We need to remind ourselves that 1619 was 157 years before the United States of America was born. Now, this clearly means that …
On Wednesday, noon EDT exactly, Donald J. Trump ceased to be our President and Joseph R. Biden became our 46th President of the United States. The events of that day in the Federal Political arena made some people happy and some people sad, but those events were set in motion a long time ago. In …
Yesterday, January 6th, 2021, Our President showed us just how far he would go to overthrow our Federal Government and remain in power. Yesterday was the culmination of his lies that all led us to the events we witnessed. He stoked the flames of radical insurrection in his legions of supporters and invited them to …
