SPECIAL NOTICE – RECOMMENDED READING ADDITION

I just added The World: A Brief Introduction by Richard Haass to the Recommended Reading List.  Dr. Haass is the President of The Council on Foreign Relations.  He is a conservative Republican so you might think it odd that he makes the Recommended Reading list on this site.  Well, it is for the second time and that is because he bases everything on the truth along with his vast foreign relations and governmental experience.

The book is a surprisingly brief and yet comprehensive overview of relevant factors effecting the global community.

There is a lot here and it is important so let’s explore. Continue reading More Than Anti-Trump →

The administration’s reaction was to be outraged that it leaked to the press. There is a lot here and almost all of it is nauseating. Let’s explore.

Give Him The Clap

The title of this article comes from a story two of my female friends told me many years ago and with poetic license I am “adapting” it so that the “him” is President Trump. Let’s explore as I stretch the PG rating ever so slightly. Continue reading Give Him The Clap →
