Sometimes it is difficult to do the right thing. I imagine this was the case for Geoff Duncan, the former Republican Lt-Governor of Georgia, when Trump and his allies tried to overturn the 2020 presidential election. The same might be said about Brad Raffensperger, Republican Secretary of State in Georgia, when he refused to change…

Where are the opposing views to those expressed most frequently in this blog? We really need to talk to each other, even if we do not share the same political views. I’d wager that we agree on much more than we think. If you disagree, please challenge what I say here. If you want, write…

Ever since the 2016 election I’ve been stupefied by the people who voted for and continue to support Donald Trump. This in spite of overwhelming evidence as to his malevolence and criminal behavior that threatens our very Republic. Most alarming for me is that many of these people are long time friends and acquaintances who…

This morning I received an article from a friend that is a must read for all of us. I found it absolutely critical as a help in understanding the popularity of the MAGA movement and the threat posed by a second Trump government. Some of you might find it too long and tedious, but I…

The latest news seems to signal that our politics is returning to normal and that the crazies are losing their appeal. I sure hope so. If this is the case, one has to wonder what took our politicians and leaders so long to realize the absurdity and dangers of following Trump and the MAGA people….

Both appear to be derived from the ongoing debacle brought on by the election of Trump in…

Only one day went by since I wrote about the reasons for Trump’s resilience before my view was confirmed by Chris Sununu, Republican governor of New Hampshire. And, I must say that his words were a stunning acknowledgment of the corruption that has taken over the Republican Party. This past Sunday, Governor Sununu told George…

The View From Here Like many of you, I believed the infatuation with Trump would have worn off a long time ago. Yet, it still goes on. Back in 2016, conventional wisdom predicted his defeat by Hillary Clinton and after his abortive run in 2020, I thought he would be gone for good.* Like many,…

Don’t take my word for it, just keep your ears open and you will know that Marjorie Taylor Greene, the buffoon from Georgia, has struck again. Frontpage news this week is that Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House, plans to address aid for Ukraine, an action that has become a cause celebre for the…

I can’t remember where I left off the last time I wrote something for these pages. I guess it’s the “mad cow disease” that goes with my increasing age. I believe it had something to do with my promise to hang in there and do better after a long absence due to fatigue and disgust…
