Looming Constitutional Crisis

The President is moving toward the firing of the Special Counsel. This action will make the members of the Republican Party, finally, have to decide if they are cowards or patriots. Unfortunately, I believe I know which decision they will make; and I desperately hope that I am wrong.

The American Taliban

It is an inverse ratio in all of the Religions of the Book: The more that you hate, the more that you condemn, the more that you despise others – the further away you are from Yahweh, God, Allah. While we could have this discussion based upon any of the 3 primary Religions of the Book; for this discussion, we will focus on Christianity. James 2:18 – But someone will say, "You have faith; I have deeds." Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds. Matthew 7:12 – So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets. (New International Version) It is by this authority that I condemn these 'Christians' who hate, who condemn, and who despise others as a political act – and it is by this authority that I publicly question their faith; and openly declare them to be false Christians. Lately, I have been thinking of the Republican Candidate for Presiden...

Reputations and President Trump

I was wrong about General Kelly. I thought that he would be a moderating influence on this President; but, when the layers of his character have been pulled back since he became Chief of Staff, what you see is an incredibly small and bigoted individual. None of those who chose to join this administration will survive that experience with their reputation and their character intact. Ask the first Press Secretary how that feels; feeling that he was compelled to lie during his first Press Conference. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/john-kelly-daca_us_5a79e55ae4b0d0ef3c09d047?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=__Politics__020618&utm_content=__Politics__020618+Version+A+CID_d57113e53ffcd84636b40615fb87425d&utm_source=Email+marketing+software&utm_term=READ+MORE&ncid=newsltushpmgnews__Politics__020618

Descent into Madness

We are citizens of one world, one planet, and one species. If we cannot, or will not, grasp that key fact – and act accordingly – then we will all be either doomed to extinction or our lives will become much more primitive and terrible; to a point where a common life’s experience will be aptly described as painful, brutal, and short. We can no longer be members of the discordant tribes that we call nations, or religions, and hope to survive what our future holds. This is the first article in a regular blog addressing the common world events and problems that face all of us; but focusing on the citizens of the United States, each member nation of the GCC, and the people of the surrounding region of what is commonly called the Middle East. I hope these blogs will not only identify and clarify the common problems that we face but also provide positive suggestions addressing the options that we might have to help constructively face and, perhaps, resolve some o...
