The State of the Union address Tuesday was amazing! Because it showed, without a doubt in my mind, two distinct personality structures. Let's get into it. The Speech that President Trump gave was great! As was his delivery and production. However, the Democrats, and liberals in general (not all) were dour and glum. If not … Continue reading The State of the Union

ICE’s Impact in US’ cities
ICE's impact in US' cities today is similar to what happened in Iraq twenty-two years ago. This just occurred to me as I was having a morning chat with my niece, over coffee. With me, the way my brain is wired, one thing (topic) leads quickly to another. Trump calls this "the weave". [In session, … Continue reading ICE’s Impact in US’ cities
More Crucial Than Ever
This post is the preface to my book Election 2016. I posted it today because today what I wrote nearly a decade ago is more crucial than ever to be heard. Just this morning I've read two posts from persons experiencing extreme distress. (I am, too.) Because of the current politics in America. This book can … Continue reading More Crucial Than Ever
“Fight Like Hell”: My review of the documentary
The documentary Fight Like Hell (2024) shook me to my core. It's about the January 6th, 2021 riot at the US Capital. The film doesn't take sides. Most of the videos were shot in real time during the riot. However, there is a lot of important video of the lead-up to that day. The preceding events, if … Continue reading “Fight Like Hell”: My review of the documentary

The Meaning of Life: a review
As is my wont, I'll be brief. Or, a conversation starter. This post is a review of a movie I watched last night and again this morning. I liked it that much! However, it's been widely criticized. Fair enough. Warhorse One is the movie (2023). It's an action war film, about consequences of the withdrawal … Continue reading The Meaning of Life: a review
Cortez the Killer: smash or pass
Recently I saw a classical musician's reaction to Neil Young's Cortez the Killer. Water filled my eyes. The song has always been one of my all time favorites. Young broke it out on his 1975 album Zuma. It is about Cortez, Moetezuma II, war and peace. In the 16th Century! Seems relevant given the state of … Continue reading Cortez the Killer: smash or pass
Fall Frenzy: Update
It's Thanksgiving week; and also the week I turn seventy-four. Wasn't that a song? Oh wait, that song is When I'm 64 Sixty-Four. However it was released in 1967, so ... . Anyway, I'm not losing my hair. In fact I'm still pretty spry. Furthermore, John Lennon is dead. Gunned down in front of his apartment … Continue reading Fall Frenzy: Update
Human Nature: Reboot
This is a repost from May 0f 2001, or 30 months ago. Because I think it's relevant now considering how war has busted out all over. Many people are shocked and can't believe humans could be so violent and cruel. Or I should say, other humans, because they themselves insist they never could behave in such a manner. … Continue reading Human Nature: Reboot
The Imprint of War: 2003 redux
Introduction Twenty years ago I published my first book, of essays and poems. It was born out of frustration, dissatisfaction, and discontent. Because for years I had tried to make a difference. Make the world a better place. However, nothing I tried worked. Then I thought, okay, I'll write for real and publish. Sounding Off In … Continue reading The Imprint of War: 2003 redux
