Quite a Couple of Weeks, Huh? Frankly, I don’t know whether to shit or go blind. First off—I’m damn impressed and grateful that Israel finally went after Iran’s nuclear facilities and military brass. After 26 years of the Islamic Republic’s official policy of threatening to wipe Israel off the face of the earth—and after years … Continue reading Quite a Couple of Weeks, Huh?

….and now the News From Washington
Anyone who has been surprised by the Trump/Musk messy divorce has not been paying attention. When it comes to egos and narcissism bigger than the Solar System, I remind you of the immortal words of Connor McLeod in “Highlander” – “there can only be one.” It is the clash of the titanic egos. It is … Continue reading ….and now the News From Washington
Plus ca change plus c’est la meme chose
Yes, I have been quiet for a while. Not my intent but a 7-week battle with an intestinal virus (don’t ask, it was worse than you think) followed almost immediately by a bout of pneumonia made writing about the last thing on my mind. Then my knees gave out, but I am still mobile. Now … Continue reading Plus ca change plus c’est la meme chose
Crossing The Rubicon
I think we have crossed the Rubicon as a world. History is beginning to repeat itself in very unpleasant ways. The UnitedHealthcare CEO was murdered on a New York street in plain daylight as he was leaving his hotel. The bullet casings had deny, defend, and depose written on them indicating that the perpetrator has … Continue reading Crossing The Rubicon

Regardless … Continue reading The News
Can He Win?
I like Joe Biden. I think he has been a very good President and has achieved a tremendous amount despite a razor-thin majority in the Senate and a Republican (sort-of) House. His administration has been tremendously effective in spite of the fact that the House Republicans have been pretty clear that they would rather see … Continue reading Can He Win?
Why I am Not Surprised
The shock, amazement, and complete astonishment that someone would attempt to assassinate Donald Trump is inescapable. The tsunami of punditry, op-ed pieces, social media posts, newscasts, and such has been overwhelming. That flood of commentary contains comments like, “This is not who we are,” “Violence is never the answer,” What have we become?” The pious … Continue reading Why I am Not Surprised
Subversion
I have long suspected that many of the anti-Zionist, anti-Israel, and antisemitic organizations operating in the US were being funded by radical governments, terrorist organizations, and/or other bad actors. After years of these linkages occasionally referenced in the press, and since the explosion of very organized protests since October 8, I am now completely convinced … Continue reading Subversion
