Recent Review of “The Book”

Amazon Review:  Even more relevant today in 2022 than it was when it was published in 2016! “This is a fast, gripping, and eye-opening read. I finished it in one sitting. The whole time I was reading, I had to keep reminding myself that this book was published six years ago,…

Headline Mysteriously Missing: ‘Putin Prevents Slaughter of Estimated 1 Million Innocent People, Up for Nobel Peace Prize’

It’s challenging trying to figure out what’s going on with the MSM these days. What makes the front page often makes me think I’ve inadvertently flipped to the comic section. There’s one headline which has been conspicuously absent. While we understandably lament the breakup of Kim and Kanye and his subsequently being suspended…

A Few Things Left Out of the Russia-Bashing Narrative

All of the bleating bloviators, all of the hand-wringing virtue signalers, all of the misguided misinformed peace lovers condemn Russia for its “invasion”.

Trust Our Brilliant Leaders? Are You Joking?

We are now being treated to a predictable deluge of hand-wringing, grandstanding, virtue signaling, gaslighting, hysteria, pontificating and snide told-you-so commentary, most of it stating the obvious, most of it just repeating what we’ve known all along. Attacking Afghanistan was a big mistake. What a disaster! What an embarrassment! Our…

It’s so long ago, I can’t remember how it came to my attention. I was 13 years old and no one in my family or anyone in the blue collar community we lived in had a clue who Bertrand Russell was or why he was taking on the military and political establishments…

War is the answer! But what was the question?

In the forums for our national conversation, there is no earnest discussion of peace and cooperation now … period!  I’m not talking lip service or political posturing.  I’m talking REAL DISCUSSION, widespread, inclusive, comprehensive discussion.  In the media, by our leaders, among everyday people.  NONE!
