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

IS THIS HARRY POTTER, WICKED or Both?
Every time I hear about a President issuing an executive order, I can’t help but think of the scene from Harry Potter, when Professor Umbridge took over as Head of School at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry after Dumbledore was removed. Professor Umbridge had Argus Filch hang every decree 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

A Failure to Communicate I have watched many politicians from both sides of the aisle handle media interviews these days, and they’ve turned not answering media questions into an art form. It’s almost as it they are trained to respond to reporter’s question with the answer they want to give.” Continue Reading
Transactional Fraud!
Yes, I have kept quiet for long enough. Yup I have seen all the comments about fraudulent spending at USAID. Follow the money and you will find who approved it! Wasteful spending for sure! Must have been the Biden administration for sure! Government employees hiding something! Once again, many folks Continue Reading
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
