Preserving American Values

Our nation stands under attack … not from without but from within. American values, our politics, and our culture have been corrupted.

  • At the start of the Democratic convention, The New York Times reported that Biden made a statement during a discussion that “most cops are good; the bad ones need to be identified and prosecuted.” It that quote is complete and not taken out of context, it shows an unfortunate lack of understanding by Biden of…

  • It has been apparent for most of Trump’s presidency that regardless what he does or says, regardless how outrageous, how unprofessional, regardless whether he is fact-checked and shown to have lied, and certainly regardless what the mainstream (non-conservative) media say, Trump’s core base of support believes him, and Congressional Republicans either aggressively support him or…

  • What does Joe Biden need to do to defeat Trump in November? And hopefully not just squeaking by but by trouncing him. First, the President has the bully pulpit, and never has that phrase been more apt than in the case of Donald Trump.  Biden has to figure out a way, in this age of pandemic…

  • Joe Biden is running a strange campaign.  Since the COVID-19 restrictions, he has not been seen in public as far as I know.  He seems to feel that he has no options other than virtual ones and that he is already a well-enough known persona who people trust that he can beat Trump.  And if he looks at…

  • Yes, Trump is responsible.  How has Trump failed each and every one of us, just as regards the coronavirus pandemic? Let me count the ways. Recently, The New York Times reported that some U.S. scientists are saying that even regular masks can be helpful because some protection is better than none.

  • These have been dark years for America.  A very personal yet social alienation and hatred has attached itself to a large percentage of the body politic, both on the right and the left.  While America had witnessed an increasing lack of political civility during the Obama years because of the intransigence of Republicans, with the nomination and…

  • There was a very disturbing and creepy photo in the paper today of Roger Stone, his wife, and another woman in his party arriving at the courthouse for his sentencing. They are all smiling! Like they were going to a party. And why were they smiling?  Because they knew that one way or another, he will not…

  • I am aware that polls show that a majority of Sanders supporters will not commit to supporting whoever ends up the with Democratic nomination.  I’m aware of the intense feelings and anger, then and continuing today, at the way Sanders was treated in 2016 by the Democratic establishment.  I am aware of the stupidity of Hilary Clinton’s…

  • If Senator McConnell and his Republican colleagues truly believe that the Democratic case for impeachment is so weak, a sham, wouldn’t it be to their political advantage to run a proper trial, to give the appearance of impartiality, and then acquit Trump.  They have certainly prejudged the case, so that is a foregone conclusion.  Why not subpoena…
