Many major disasters end up being the culmination of a number of small errors and missteps that occur over a period of time. The September 11 th terror attack was partially due to the result of a number of intelligence failures that, individually were not big deals but the culmination over time led to a… Continue reading March 19, 2025

Trump has stated many of his policies are based upon what he believes is the increased threat from China. There is no doubt that China’s military power, economic power and presence around the globe is increasing. The irony in what Trump is doing, in my opinion, is the exact opposite of what he should be… Continue reading March 18, 2025

I rarely agree with anything Trump says or does, however, I agree with him that we should redraw the border between the U.S. and Canada. We may have different ideas about how to redraw the border, but I agree it should be redrawn. Hear me out! Trump continues to talk about annexing Canada as the… Continue reading March 17, 2025

Most people are familiar with the term “protection racket” which is famously used by the Mafia to extort people and businesses to 1) make money and 2) keep people in line.  They guarantee to ‘protect’ you or your business from harm if you pay them money and/or do them a ‘favor’.  Of course, if you… Continue reading March 16, 2025

Not that anyone in the Trump circus cares what Canadians think but I can think of absolutely no reason how… Continue reading March 14, 2025

A rational person would think that Trump and his sycophantic circus would be concerned about the harm their slash and burn tactics are having upon their constituents given the 2026 midterm elections are really not very far away in political terms. Yet, the tariff policies and ensuing trade wars they are pressing are hurting American… Continue reading March 13, 2025

Sometimes I feel like the Stephen King or Chicken Little of political blogs.  That said, I believe there are a number of possible horror stories potentially happening that will have grave consequences, and, in some respects, I do believe the sky is falling! Given that prelude, think about the following scenario and if it doesn’t… Continue reading March 12, 2024

Most people have forgotten the name, Jack Teixeira. Teixeira is the Massachusetts Air National Guardsman who was charged with leaking highly classified military documents online. He is currently serving 15 years in prison after pleading guilty to six counts of “willful retention and transmission of national defense information under the Espionage Act”. His name is… Continue reading March 11, 2025

Now, more than ever, I sometimes need a day or two to detox from writing about the news and what is going on in America and the world. I lived through the Cold War and the Cuban missile crisis. I lived through the Vietnam protest era. I lived through all the Civil Rights protests, marches,… Continue reading March 10, 2025
