Nobody likes Soggy Cereal, right?  Of course not.  But wait.  There is one instance where Soggy Cereal might not be all that bad.  How could that be? Consider this.  It is breakfast time.  You are hungry and eager to start your day.  You sit down and pour milk on your cereal.  Then, just as you finished pouring, you realize that

Should Donald Trump be criticized for insisting that he does, indeed, have the authority to tell state governors to open their economies, or should he be criticized for deferring that decision to those same governors? Turns out the answer is, “yes,” to both. In response to a reporter’s question during the April 13th Coronavirus briefing.  President Trump asserted that his

Then and now.  Some things never change. Twenty years ago, the wife would yell at her hearing-impaired husband to change the channel.  He would simply smile and pretend not hear. Today, the wife yells at Alexa to change the channel.  Alexa pretends not to hear. The husband smiles.Nothing has changed.  It is déjà vu all over again.  Can you hear

Have you ever wanted something?  I mean really, really wanted it.  No, I don’t mean wanting the Red Socks to beat the Yankees.  I mean wanting something really, really important. Okay, for those of you who are Red Socks fans, beating the Yankees is really important.  I get that.  But, if you are not one of those fans, consider today’s

Huh?  Say what?  You had just managed to convince yourself that Donald Trump would not have a second term, and now you hear the rumor that he will remain in the White House until 2028.  How could that happen? Before reading any further, please understand that this is just a rumor.  Let me assure you that there is no truth

In today’s hyper partisan world, few issues are as contentious as the immigration crisis plaguing our national conscience.   When asked for her take on the issue, a conservative friend of mine snarled, “Those liberals, all they want to do is open the boarders, give free benefits to illegal aliens, and disband the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE).  All that

A guy walks out the back gate of his house.  He is young.  He is wearing a ball cap pulled low on his brow against the morning sun. He smacks his head, hard, on a low hanging branch.  He considers cutting the branch off to prevent a repeat head butting,  However, he is busy, as the young so often are. 

1) THREE QUESTIONS. Would you be happy if Donald Trump were no longer president?  Does the evidence presented in the Articles of Impeachment, as reported by the House of Judiciary Committee on December 18th and approved by the full House the next day, provide sufficient grounds for the Senate to convict and remove Donald Trump from office?  Do you think

The Democratic National Committee recently held a series of debates as part of their nomination process.  I asked a friend if he had tuned in.  He said, “Watch the DNC debates?  Naahh, why waste my time?  I’ll check MSNBC and the New York Times the next day.  They will tell me all I need to know.” Really?  Are you really

Twenty-five years ago, Timothy McVeigh detonated a truck bomb outside the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people.  His goal was to stimulate a law enforcement response which he hoped would spark an anti-government revolution. At the time McVeigh earned almost universal condemnation for his horrific act.  He was arrested, tried and put to death for his crime.

The 2020 elections are fast approaching.  Well, not fast enough for me.  The lunacy increases with each passing day. Will your vote be decided by policy or personality? Today’s political landscape has become so antagonistic, so divisive, that it is all too easy to ignore policy and default to personality as you make your decision. Take that easy route and

Have you noticed?  There is a new trend in television newscasting. It started six or eight years ago.  The program host would ask a question.  The guest would start to answer.  Abruptly, with less than half the answer out, the host would jump In, interrupting with a follow-on question or comment.  It is as if he were saying, “Your answer
