LBJ, DT, Vietnam and some history
Don’t worry, this won’t be real long. I’m too hyped on everything that’s going on now to stay patiently at the computer for too long. But I have to get some of these opinions down in print and out there to be read. The situation seems to change almost hourly, but as nearly I I’m…

Dems Disssenting–From Each Other
I think you may know that I admire greatly the TV work of Fareed Zakaria who is on CNN just about every Sunday morning and some other times. I don’t agree with him all the time, but I’d say I agree 90% or more. This past Sunday morning was different. I disagreed strongly with his…

Time for the 25th? No, but let’s look at it
The recent announcement of The White House ordering troops into Portland OR is not the last straw. We’re not there yet. But Trump is getting closer. As I have mentioned before he has, by luck or by careful legal advice, managed to stay clear of anything out and out illegal or impeachable. Likely that will…

Trumpological Studies
I was planning to go back to reviewing books and movies, but the various troubles of our world and our country have seized my immediate attention., I have decided to devote one more(at least)blog to studying our President’s behavior and its likely effects. I will be brief but intend to make points on several issues…

Trump Balance Sheet

Trump & the World
This is hardly a new topic. It has consumed US news commentators for about two months now and likely will continue to do so. I have, indeed, written about it a little bit. But today I find myself in the situation of needing to write (I dislike getting out of practice by going too long…

Don’t Ask What’s Next–Please
Frankly I don’t want to know –yet. It will become clear to all Americans, to all the developed world soon enough. What I will do is to(briefly)comment on what’s going on in the Administration and on what the effects may be. Previously, I commented some on Trump and domestic affairs. I was going to to…

He’s leading us–but where?
My immediate response to the new administration was to be critical and I was in the one blog I’ve done on the subject so far. But I thought it might be a good idea to wait a bit longer before going forward with such blogs. After all people do change(but seldom), and I am always…

Panama, Canada, Greenland and Donald
As Trump gets closer and closer actually to being President anxieties are, I think, increasing among his non-fans about what he plans to do. The obvious split in his supporters between MAGA types and Musk types is to me not a cause for great joy in that it’s almost one of those contests where you…
