So as I understand it, we finally know who to blame for the mayhem at the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, 2021. Nikki Haley. Nikki Haley? Yes, when Donald Trump was speaking to a crowd of Trumpanzees the other day in New Hampshire, he repeated his lie about offering troops to prevent what happened when …
Let me start by making one thing very clear. I can understand the people who hate Democrats, who would prefer almost anyone to Joe Biden. I don’t agree with them, but I understand them. I personally think Biden has done a good job, although I wish he wasn’t running for re-election. I am not at …
It was 4:30 a.m. exactly 30 years ago today when a massive shaking awakened me. I literally had the feeling that a giant hand was cupping our house and shaking it. It took me only a few seconds to realize it was an earthquake. A pretty large one, in fact. Close too. As it turned …

The success or failure of the Washington Redskins mattered so much to me when I was younger. In fact, one of the happiest days of young adulthood I can remember was New Year’s Eve 1972, when Washington crushed the hated Dallas Cowboys, 26-3, in the conference championship game to qualify for their first Super Bowl. …

“These are the times that try men’s souls.” At least temporarily in this election year, the center of attention is shifting to the Supreme Court.
