I wish you a hopeful Christmas I wish you a brave new year All anguish pain and sadness Leave your heart and let your road be clear They said there’ll be snow at Christmas They said there’ll be peace on Earth Hallelujah Noel be it Heaven or Hell The Christmas we get we deserve Sen.

It was hard to tell last week which story was the major story coming out of Washington DC.  We had Hunter Biden, Eric Swalwell and the distribution of the vaccine to fight Covid.  Let’s start with Hunter because every day a new revelation about him hits the news.  We have often bemoaned the fact that we do not have a sleuth like Sherlock Holmes around … [Read more...]

“How are you going to overlook the murders of six million people?” - Spencer Tracy in “Judgment at Nuremberg” That line from the classic 1961 film has saturated my consciousness for a month. More than 71,000,000 voters punched Donald Trump’s ticket. Average people, pundits, proselytizers, pretenders and poltroons have all overly examined the whys and wherefores. Last … [Read more...]

This … [Read more...]

If you thought the election went badly for Donald Trump, the post election has been worse.  By one count, Team Trump lost 46 election lawsuits in a row. Then came Nevada in which former Attorney General Adam Laxalt led a team that went into court and got its collective butt kicked.
