Many Americans naively believe people are elected to Congress to formulate legislation to solve national and local problems and work to make life better for all Americans, provide for national security, and create an environment where everyone can pursue ‘life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.’ That may be true for some Congresspeople, however, it… Continue reading Jan 4, 2024

I am retired after spending 30+ years in the defense industry. I am an avid bicyclist, Harley rider, skier, and world traveler. I really became interested in politics during the last few years but have enjoyed writing on many different topics for a long time. Some people agree with me, some don't and that is fine. My 'musings' are simply an outlet for me.

I believe most Americans have heard the term ‘Shari law,’ usually used in anti-Muslim rhetoric to fan the flames of fear that Muslim Americans and Muslim immigrants are intent on imposing this form of law in America. Sharia law is a form of law based upon the Koran and the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad.… Continue reading Jan 3, 2024

Happy New Year! I hope I will be saying the same thing one year from now. There is no doubt this year will be one for the history books. I suspect as the legal noose continues to tighten around Trump’s political neck, he will become more and more unhinged. We all know what they say… Continue reading Jan 2, 2024

This being the age of conspiracy theories and political dirty tricks, I thought I would do a little speculating of my own. The fact is, the Republicans, including Trumpelstiltskin, don’t have many ‘real’ issues with which to confront Joe Biden for 2024 besides ‘wokeness’ and illegal immigration. Inflation is dropping and is currently about 3… Continue reading December 30

There continues to be articles and op-eds written about what a second Trump presidential term would look like. Most of them concern the fact that he could become the first dictator in American history. The fact is, Trump is already a dictator, so I don’t really understand why people are spending all these brain spells… Continue reading December 29

What is not OK? The Colorado Supreme Court has ruled that because of Trump’s involvement in the insurrection that took place on January 6, 2021, he is ineligible to hold office and his name is to be removed from the ballot for the upcoming Colorado primary election. Immediately, Republicans of all shapes and sizes began… Continue reading Dec 21, 2023
Colorada v. Republican Hypocrisy
The hypocrisy of the Republicans is on full, technicolor display today after the Colorado Supreme Court ruled that Trump could not be on the ballot in the state because of the insurrection he incited January 6th, 2021. This is the same party that once claimed to be the ‘law and order’ party and who have… Continue reading Colorada v. Republican Hypocrisy
Trump: The Faustian Bargain
The latest Hitler-esque comments by Trump about immigrants poisoning the blood of the country have just once again reaffirmed the belief of many that Trump is a truly evil man. His former White House Chief of Staff, Marine Gen. John Kelly, has called Trump the most flawed person he has ever known. He said, “The… Continue reading Trump: The Faustian Bargain
Mifepristone: The New Black Market
The Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case to review a lower court ruling that would make access to mifepristone, the “abortion” pill, harder and more restrictive. This is a perfect example of how the anti-abortion activists are using the judicial system to push their extreme agenda. First, they seek out judges who they… Continue reading Mifepristone: The New Black Market
The Cost-Benefit of Trump
It would seem at some point that Trump supporters would begin to ask the question, “Is he really worth the cost?” I wonder how Rudy Giuliani would answer that question now that he has been ordered to pay almost $150 million in real and punitive damages to the two Georgia election workers he admittedly lied… Continue reading The Cost-Benefit of Trump
