It is depressing to look into the future of this country. The closer we come to the election the less confident I am that this great nation of ours is going to be able to work its way out of the pandemic and this depression and to find the way forward with 37 million people …

Please Remember This Germany 1933 Massive Unemployment
Several years back, I said that I lived through and still remember the 1930s with the rise of Hitler and Nazi Germany, which ultimately propelled us into WWII. I said then, and I say it now; Trump is a clone of Hitler. To my amazement, a friend of mine recently sent me this article listing …

Race to the Finish
I personally do not differentiate amongst my friends as to the color of their skin or the slant of their eyes. I do not like all white people and I do not dislike all black people. I only like some white people and I only like some black people, some Asian people and some muslim …
Attention must be paid.
Everything happening in the Senate and White House requires daily attention from all of us. President Trump, in his State of the Union address, gave a great speech.

Oh Rage! Oh Despair!

That God requires human kindness to strangers, and it requires human beings to help others carry their burdens in times of …
Dim, Dark Days
I am continuously upset with the born-again Christians who seem to have gained enormous power in this country, and especially with the present administration. They, like their Führer Trump, are without compassion, without brains, and, worst of all, without any sense of rationality. They believe that they alone should have the right to live above …
