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.

It has everything… Continue reading August 1, 2024

If no candidate in a presidential election reaches the required 270 electoral votes, the U.S. House of Representatives is tasked with electing the President. To do this, each state delegation is awarded… Continue reading July 31, 2024

I haven’t written anything in a while for a number of reasons. I was busy selling my house and relocating from Bozeman, MT to Boston, MA. I was then off on a 10-day trip to Panama and when I returned, I found I had contracted COVID somewhere along the way and was laid up for… Continue reading July 30,2024

To the handful of people that read my posts, I wanted to let you know that my posting will be very intermittent over the next few months. I am in the final throes of dotting the ‘I’s’ and crossing the ‘t’s’ on an offer to sell my house and undertaking a major move to the… Continue reading April 2, 2024

Over the years, many have made the claim that there is a two-tiered justice system in the United States – one for the wealthy and well-connected and the other for the rest of us normal mortals. There have also been claims, well substantiated I might add, of a two-tiered justice system based upon racial lines.… Continue reading March 30, 2024

Now that Trump’s media company has gone public and he has paper profits in the billions, at least for now, I started thinking about what might happen if Trump loses the election in November. It should come as no surprise to anyone that Trump’s main objective in running for re-election is to stave off the… Continue reading March 29, 2024

Every time you think things in Trump world can’t get any stranger – they do! Apparently, Trump is hawking Bibles at $60 a pop, presumably to help defray his legal costs. Yes, you read that correctly, Trump is selling Bibles. This is the same man who will go on trial April 15th for making hush… Continue reading March 27, 2024
