Prophetic?
Thought I’d go with a flashback today from 2016. I think I got it right. The old picture is worth a thousand words post… And we can only imagine what it will be like if Donald Trump becomes president!
The Arraignment
Why shouldn’t a former president face criminal charges?. Or even a sitting president? Isn’t equality under the law one of the central tenets of American justice? Donald Trump in turns himself in at a New York courthouse today to face charges – exactly what he doesn’t know yet – and his appearance will be the […]
Picking A Speaker
As 2023 starts we are reminded of the popular definition of insanity wrongly attributed to Albert Einstein. Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. We’ve seen that at work in Washington this week. In many ways the American political system is broken, and constructive change is beyond the political will. Those […]

The rags may be metaphorical, but the riches certainly aren’t. Sometime when I wasn’t looking (because I don’t play […]

In recent weeks there have been a number of mass shootings in the United States. I thought about commenting, then decided I had nothing new to say. Today though I’m saying something old. Sadly, nothing seems to have changed in the seven years since this piece first appeared here. In Canada we take government restrictions […]
Thoughts on America
Is it a failed state, as many seem to think these days? Or does it remain the best example of democracy and a hope for the world? It seems appropriate on July 4, as Americans celebrate Independence Day, to give some thought to the state of the United States in 2022. Are things as bad […]
