“Where have you gone Joe DiMaggio?” ~Simon and Garfunkel 1967. Seems appropriate in this age of upside down. Where are the heroes? Where are the adults? Where are the sheepdogs that protect the flocks? Are they gone or just uncaring? Who stands for the values that made us? I’m in my 70s and, by the …
There is an “only Trump” coalition which is the mirror image of the “never Trump” coalition — and they’re just as destructive.
The Romans Road “Rome was a poem pressed into service as a city.” ~Anatole Broyard The Romans were good at a lot of things. While touring Europe, I was able to see much of the work they left behind that sometimes looks in better condition than the roads in my hometown of Helena, Montana. But …

Who do you hold accountable when forces beyond your reach crush you? When it happens, you’ll focus on survival. Afterwards, justice should be served.
Lessons Not Learned: Ukraine, Iraq, and US Military Strategy The twentieth anniversary of the Iraq War arrived without fanfare in US political circles. It is not politically expedient to draw attention to the ambiguous-at-best results achieved there after the sacrifice of 4,500 US military personnel with many more wounded and suffering from psychological trauma, and …
Recently, actor-cum-commentator Ben Stein was condemned in media for touting the progress the U.S. has made, saying that black Americans “never had it so good.”

Stopping Critical Race Theory means you, Citizen–have to change what’s being taught by the Higher Ed that teaches teachers. It can and must be done.
Having taken part in private investigations for a number of years I learned ed early on that there are no coincidences. Same with our New World Disorder.
Note to the Reader. Any missed nuance found by those more knowledgable than I, was made by oversight, not intent. John Stewart Mill says that every successful mass movement has three stages: The first stage is ridicule. The second is discussion. The third is acceptance. This piece is the result of a discussion I had …
History Wars in Virginia; The Virginia School Board corrected their awful first draft of the Standards of Learning for History and Social Studies. The Democrats controlling the Virginia Senate rejected the Republican Governor’s appointments to the Virginia Board of Education for cleaning up the CRT and other errors in the first draft.

For over 20 years I’ve despaired of finding the right name for the political opposition to Conservatives, the ideas of the American Revolution, and our 1787 Constitution as amended. Nothing fit.
