Dump Trump
What is happening in the United States right now as a result of the covid-19 pandemic must be laid at the feet of Donald J. Trump who – in this time – has proven definitively that he is unfit to be President, that he is unworthy of re-election, and that he does not know and […]

Day to Mourn
Today, I mourn the grave – and perhaps, terminal – illness of democracy, for today, following on yesterday’s shameful event (the State of the Union address), the Senate votes to acquit Donald J. Trump of the charges which were the basis of his House of Representatives impeachment. Today, as a nation, we begin our walk […]
Glad & Hopeful
Yes, the Senate acquits him after ignoring the voice of the people who call for witnesses and documents. Yes, the Senate says that his wrongdoing doesn’t rise to the level of impeachment (causing us to ask, Then what in hell does?!?). Yes, but. . . . He remains IMPEACHED – his “perfect” world smeared and […]

Pray?
I recently read in the November 13th issue of The New York Times Magazine that an evangelist named Ralph Drollinger has been conducting weekly “Bible study” meetings for the Trump Cabinet. To be fair, not all the cabinet members attend (the meetings are apparently not mandatory), and a number of the attendees aren’t even Cabinet […]
Just Politics
I am consumed by impeachment news, glued to CNN, fascinated by each day’s revelations about Trump, his cohorts, supporters, and enemies, and the public reaction. Each upward tick of “for impeachment and removal” gets my applause and approval. I am living through a historic time, waiting for the denouement, knowing that – whatever the outcome […]

Dilemma
Yesterday, September 26, 2019, Joseph Maguire, the acting Director of National Intelligence, testified before the House of Representatives Intelligence Committee regarding a whistleblower’s complaint that he withheld from Congress beyond the prescribed timeline for submitting such documents. He opened his testimony with some remarks about his long service in the military and in the government, […]
