A Pause
To destroy German factories during World War II we bombed Hamburg, Berlin, other cities – bombs killed civilians but bombing tank factories meant fewer American soldiers died. Israel didn’t want a war with Hamas but got one – and it now faces the same choice we did: It bombs Gaza, civilians die, but bombs destroying…

Fox News showed protestors marching in Washington, graffiti scrawled on buildings: ‘Death to Israel.’ Newspapers, media websites, Facebook and Twitter were covered with stories about anti-Israel protests: Students chanting the Hamas mantra ‘from the river to the sea’ on college campuses, swastikas sprayed on synagogues, protestors in New York tearing down pictures of hostages held…
Read MoreVivek, Again
The sideshow rolls on – Vivek Ramaswamy just can’t stop whacking Ronna McDaniel. On Twitter he said, ‘I’m sick and tired of this Republican Establishment that has made us a party of losers.’ Vivek then told grassroot conservatives to go to his website and sign his petition to ‘FireRonna.’ Vivek’s feud rolls on. It’s quirky.…
Read MoreWho’s the Leaker?
The headline across the top of the page said: ‘Trump power grab comes into focus in leaked Georgia videos.’ Someone had leaked videos of Trump lawyers Jenna Ellis and Sidney Powell being questioned by prosecutors to ABC News. The leaked videos bruised Trump but also bruised Fani Willis the D.A. prosecuting Trump. Trump claims Willis…
Read MoreTrump’s Trial
Should people be able to watch Mark Meadows sitting on the witness stand testifying against Trump on TV? The prosecutors say no. Trump says yes. Watching the trial on TV means you’ll be able to see whether Meadows sounds honest or shifty, whether the judge is fair or unfair. Not watching the trial means counting…
Read MoreThe World of RNC Politics
After Ronna McDaniel‘s spat with Vivek Ramaswamy the RNC stumbled again, telling Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley, Tim Scott if they participated in the Christian Family Leader Forum in Iowa it’d ban them from the next Republican Presidential debate. Nikki Haley and Tom Scott didn’t say a word, sat silent. But Ron DeSantis fired back he…
Read MoreA Piece of the Political World
Vivek Ramaswamy’s fast-talking, quirky, untouched by humility and staring at Ronna McDaniel sitting in the audience at the last debate picked a fight: ‘Since Ronna McDaniel took over as chairwoman of the RNC in 2017, we lost in 2018, 2020, 2022. We got trounced last night in 2023. Ronna, if you come on stage tonight…
Read MoreMedia Polls
Gary and I disagree a lot when it comes to politics but after reading his article yesterday about ‘Media Polls’ I thought, Amen. A New York Times poll ‘predicted disaster for Biden and Democrats in big states a year from now’ – but, as Gary pointed out, two days later, Democrats swept elections in ‘big…
Read MoreA New Era
The Berlin Wall fell, the Cold War ended, a new era began – and we were the dominant power on earth. Now the post-Cold War era is over – and we face three threats, allied against us: China, Russia and Iran. The new era has already spawned two wars – one started by Russia, another…
Read MoreStumbles and Struts
Hamas slaughtered Israelis, anger shot across the internet – Biden said he ‘had Israel’s back.’ Israel bombed Gaza, civilians died, Biden said he wanted to give Gaza $100 million. Nursing an old grievance, after Hamas attacked Israel Trump mocked Netanyahu, called Hezbollah ‘very smart’ – that backfired. About facing Trump said he stood 100% with…
