Only twice in American history would the title of today’s article be accurate, I have lived in both administrations. As a young adult then-President Richard Nixon was my president and named as an unindicted co-conspirator in a crime. Last week Tuesday, as part of his former personal attorney Michael Cohen’s plea agreement, Donald Trump made a senior citizen relive part of his relative youth. Not one of the highlights! It doesn’t end there, let’s explore. Continue reading My President Is An Unindicted Co-conspirator

Last week was a week of Fridays very much including Friday night. Let’s explore some of the events I have not covered thus far. Continue reading Outrage Overload
A Plethora Of Material
I readily admit that I can’t keep up with the volume of political news. Unfortunately the vast majority of it is negative. At the beginning of 2017 I reduced the number of my weekly op-eds on this site from seven to five but that doesn’t change the fact that seven also would have been insufficient. Today I’ll do a little “mop up” operation and briefly touch on a few occurrences otherwise left neglected. Let’s explore. Continue reading A Plethora Of Material
