The death of the brutal Cuban Communist dictator Fidel Castro closes the door, in some respect, on another disastrous page in US foreign policy history.

In November of 1876, one hundred and forty years ago, Johannes Brahms' monumental First Symphony was first heard, performed in Karlsruhe, Germany.

As if there are not enough sufficient reasons for right thinking individuals to want a Donald Trump Presidency, one of the biggest is that it would be a direct and quite necessary rebuke and humiliation of the purported head of the Catholic Church, Pope Francis. Bergoglio has once again injected his neo-Marxist self into areas … Continue reading Pope Francis is at it Again
If Donald Trump can somehow defeat the Wicked Witch of Chappaqua despite vote rigging, outlandish media bias, backstabbing by his own party’s elites, and opposition of Wall Street, his victory may be the most serious setback for The Establishment since, perhaps, the release of Mel … Continue reading Donald Trump & The Passion of the Christ

After touting her pro-labor union record, the Wicked Witch of Chappaqua rhetorically asked, “why am I not 50 points ahead?" Her chief rival bluntly responded: “because you’re terrible.”* No truer words have been uttered by any of the candidates about one of their opponents since the start of this extraordinary presidential campaign! That Hillary Clinton … Continue reading Donald’s Electoral Struggle

I hope we can all find a way out because this too great a … Continue reading Donald and the “Maestro”
Although history does not exactly repeat itself, it does provide parallels and sometimes quite ominous ones. Such is the case with the current U.S. Presidential election and the one which occurred one hundred years earlier. The dominating question which hung over the 1916 campaign was whether the country would remain neutral in regard to the … Continue reading The Donald Versus Killary: War or Peace?
