As I watch this Signal chat trainwreck play out all over the internet, folks are taking the Hatfield & McCoys approach to this situation. Democrats are outraged about how dangerous and careless the Trump national security team was with their lack of situational awareness on this group text concerning this Continue Reading

Selective Outrage!
I have often said that being President of the United States is more about the position then it is about the person. It is the most powerful position in the world. I never wish bad luck or ill will on anyone who is elected to our country’s highest office. I Continue Reading
Well-Behaved Women Seldom Make History
As I sit and watch the circus that we now call our government, one of the things that has me concerned is the treatment or mistreatment of women and the lack of any type of response to it. I have two daughters and two granddaughters and what I see playing Continue Reading
All the Best People
President Trump on Friday fired the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Air Force General C.Q. Brown, and pushed out five other admirals and generals in an unprecedented shake-up of U.S. military leadership.

Term Limits
Another topic I hear voters talk about all the time is term limits. For some unexplainable reason many Americans believe if we set term limits on Congress, it will suddenly start to function normally. The implicit argument is that Washington, with its corrosive practices, corrupts even the most well-intentioned lawmakers. Continue Reading
FREEDOM OF THE PRESS
A few weeks back, a dear friend of mine mentioned that while I maintain I am an independent voter, I have been leaning to the left too much in my views. I thought to myself, maybe I should do self-reflection and see if I am missing something and expand my Continue Reading
You Reap What You Sow
I always like to see the knee jerk reactions to current events, especially on Facebook. There was an attempted assassination of former President Trump over the weekend, and it didn’t take more than an hour for the Trumpers to show up online to express their disdain. Now, before I attempt Continue Reading
