Kings

Today is March 29th and I celebrate Vietnam Veterans Memorial Day along with King’s Day. Yesterday, March 28th, across our great country, demonstrations labeled “No Kings” were held. No Kings otherwise described as a symptom of Trump Derangement Syndrome, a serious defect suffered by liberal Democrats, with unfortunately no obvious cure, other than, perhaps, common sense. I for one though, would be quite satisfied with a king rather than the do-nothing members of Congress, both Democrat and Republican, especially those of Democratic persuasion. President Trump, who I agree, is ...

Lowering the temperature starts with truth

In response to the accusation of Israeli apartheid, Governor Josh Shapiro recently asserted: “We’ve got to be acknowledging that language matters here. That words matter and that we’ve got to use words that are actually rooted in reality and are able to bring the temperature down.” Notably, in 2021, two former Israeli ambassadors to South Africa, Ilan Baruch and Alon Liel, co-authored an op-ed concluding that Israel has indeed become an apartheid state. They cited the two-tiered legal system in the West Bank, illegal settlements, the demolition of homes, and the forcing of ...

Save America

Should you have to show an ID to vote in elections? The majority of Americans believe it should be. So, why would the Democrats in Congress be against it? Why would they say Women who are married and have not changed their birth certificate to represent their new last name, Why should they?? You don’t need a birth certificate to prove your name is changed. You need a marriage certificate. And their drivers license should prove their new last name. Once again, the Dems in congress are not voting as the people want, They are voting to keep their voting base (illegals). So, as ...

Fundraising on war and secrets

President Trump’s foray into Iran has generated mixed reactions. The majority of Americans oppose the war, but voters are divided along party lines: Republicans are more likely to support the war, whereas Democrats and independents are more likely to oppose it. But even those who accept the President’s actions have to recoil at the way he is trying to profit from the war. He’s now raising money from the casualties of the war he started – and selling our national security. A fundraising email from a Trump-linked political action committee used a photo of the March 7 ...

Tactical brilliance/strategic ignorance

I can describe Trump’s war with Iran in 4 words; tactical brilliance / strategic ignorance. For example, the US military has been extremely effective in neutralizing Iran’s Air Force, Navy, and to a lesser degree their missile launching capability. That’s tactical brilliance. The strategic ignorance is on display because Trump didn’t consider the consequences of attacking Iran. You know, consequences like Iran attacking neighboring countries who host US military forces. Consequences like, Iran closing the Straits of Hormuz. Consequences like, our allies turning their ...

Who pays?

Why is it that Democrats are absolutely certain that tariffs raise the price of goods, but can’t seem to figure out that corporate income taxes also raise prices? Are they that ignorant of how things work, or are they lying to us and hoping we’re too stupid to see for ourselves that what they’re saying makes no sense? I think there is some of both going on here. First, let me say that both of these taxes lead to higher prices, but not to the extent that either side of the debate would have you believe. The calculation is far too complicated for anyone to do, as there are too many ...
