I woke up this morning with the realization that one man ruling largely by fiat is causing global chaos. All everyone seems to talk about these days is Donald Trump and what he’s done or will do. And for good reason. It’s making us nervous. And it’s not just us: the whole world is talking […]
Many friends have asked me why Trump does such hateful and hurtful things. This is the wrong question. Many mental health experts have diagnosed Trump with several serious mental illnesses. But hundreds of thousands of Americans with these mental illnesses cause few problems. The correct question? Why do tens of millions of Americans blindly follow […]

Acting on a campaign promise he said, “LIBERATION DAY IN AMERICA IS COMING, SOON. FOR YEARS WE HAVE […]
Before Trump, many thought that Nixon was our worst president. Nixon lied strategically about starting a war that destroyed the idyllic country of Cambodia. He sabotaged the peace deal to end the U.S. war in Vietnam when Johnson was president. He used the IRS, FBI and CIA against people he didn’t like. He lied to […]
I attended Radius Commercial Real Estate’s 15th excellent annual forecast at the Hilton. One of the presenters was economist Christopher Thornberg who gave an optimistic view of the economy, much of which I agreed with. Regarding the world since Trump took office Dr. Thornberg’s rosiness hit a wall. The current state of things? “Chaos,” he […]
As Trump said, the meeting was great TV. There was a crowd in the room at the meeting in the White House with President Trump and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. It was diplomatically nice-nice until the fireworks broke out. I’ve been around a long time and I can’t recall when world leaders revealed what they […]
Have you heard the one about taxpayers funding a $3 million shrimp treadmill? It is a brain virus spreading through the MAGA world – to validate the utterly lawless vandalism of our government by Trump and his unconstitutionally appointed hit man Musk. MAGA people apparently never heard of “Google,” which when prompted yields the real […]
President Trump’s revelation to the New York Post that he would not deport Prince Harry if he was found to have fudged his visa application re: his drug use. Having admitted in his bestselling autobiography Spare that he partook in cannabis and psychedelic mushrooms could not have come at a better time for the Duke […]
“Everything that needs to be said has already been said. But since no one was listening, everything must be said again.” – André Gide Our president just imposed a 25% tariff on imported goods from Mexico and Canada plus an additional 10% on China and unleashed a harmful and useless trade war. Tariffs are a […]
Rounding up millions of longtime residents, placing them in detention, and deporting them. Where have we heard this before? If you are not outraged by Trump targeting long-time immigrants, then you are not paying attention. Jews lived “undocumented” in limbo in Germany for centuries. Until they were granted citizenship in 1871. And had it taken […]
It has been a tale of two cities for Riven Rock resident Prince Harry. His New Year started with Condé Nast, the giant publishing company in New York and owner of the celebrity glossy Vanity Fair, publishing an excoriating 8,000-word cover story about King Charles III’s youngest son and his former actress wife Meghan Markle. […]
I watched the entire inauguration ceremony, and this article is written on that day. You would have to be dead to not appreciate the ceremony and its symbolism. Yes, it was mostly a Trump lovefest, but it was more than that. It was another peaceful transition of power of our Republic. No riots or coups […]
First of a four-part series: Up until January, the main concern being touted by political pundits was a fear of executive overreach from the White House. Resulting from several decades of an expanding role in the Executive Branch, an ever more powerful executive has arisen at the expense of Congress’ appropriate role. These fears have […]
I was pleased that President Trump stands four-square behind public disclosure on opinion pages and has come out so strongly against the use of “Anonymous” as cover for accountability. I would hope that the Journal would adhere to our president’s common sense and stop allowing letter writers to be “Anonymous” when stating their opinions in […]
