WHAT CRIMES ARE COMMITTED?

On November 8, 1793, a woman dressed in cheap, coarse cloth with roughly shorn hair was ushered to a dray in a back alley.  The woman was born and lived in Paris not very far from where she was imprisoned. In less than an hour hence, it would be in the same City of Lights that she would die. Her light would be extinguished. The guards helped her into the cart. This was not the carriage that her station in life...

MOURNING IN AMERICA: A DAILY CHRONICLE

Jump to most current post NOTE: This post (Mourning in America) will be a just a small tile in the mosaic portraying the decline of this once great nation. It may be of use to some future generation trying to grasp what people in the U.S. were feeling and thinking in the year 2025 much as Germans pondered the loss of their individual freedoms and the rise of National Socialism almost a century ago. MARCH 29, 2025 (SATURDAY) I left...

WE’RE BACK

Earlier this week, we all likely all saw two adorable white wolf puppies in the arms of a caretaker just yipping away. Named “Remus” and “Romulus” for the human twins who were suckled by a she-wolf and who went on to found the ancient city of Rome (or at least, Romulus did), we learned that these wolf cubs were actually dire wolves, and the first to be born after an absence of over 10,000 years! As the story progressed, we...

Measles!

MEASLES!

I was reading last evening about the current measles outbreak in the U.S. Only twice in the last thirty years (2014 and 2019) have there been more measle cases in the U.S. than in 2025 and we’re barely four months into the year. Six people died of measles in the U.S. since the year 2000, and half of those died this year alone. There are almost five hundred confirmed cases in Texas. In the past, I might have gone to...

GIMME SHELTER!

Yesterday saw $2.4 trillion in wealth lost in America with another beating forecast for today according to the future’s trading.  Apple Corp lost billions as did other companies. But so did individual investors and their public or private pension funds likely were hit hard as well.  In war, there are casualties and trade wars are no different.  One person in his pride, arrogance and increasing thirst for power launched this war and there are consequences.  But there is a worse button that POTUS can push, isn’t there? The...

MICHIO KAKU ON UAPs & TYPE III CIVILIZATIONS

Like the strange, intoxicating brew in the caldron in the fourth act of MacBeth, the subject of unidentified anomalous phenomenon (UAP) keeps threatening to boil over in spite of the three “Weyward” Sisters’ best efforts to contain it.  However, just as you think that the storm has passed and there are finally clear skies ahead, all Hades breaks loose! This post is not on Hades, however but on Michio Kaku on UAP’s & Type III Civilizations. I’ve followed the subject since...

DIRECT ACTION FOR SENIORS

I am a retiree and have little personal experience in collective political action. When I was eighteen, I put together a wildcat strike that fizzled. It cost me my job. When I was 28, I wrote a letter to Leonid Breshnev asking him to let the Pentecostals seeking refuge in the basement of the U.S. embassy in the Moscow to be allowed to emigrate. I had the opportunity to speak to the U.S. ambassador to the Soviet Union personally and...

Changeling

CHANGELING

As nations go, the U.S. is a young nation, barely an infant at 250 years old. After all, Rome lived to be almost 1,200 years.  Israel is 3,324 years old. China is more than 4,000 years old. Iran is over 5,000 years old. Egypt is almost as old as Iran.  The American Experiment of 1776 gave birth to a beautiful child.  This child was the hope and dream not only of our nation, but of other nations around the world.  Yet, since the beginning...

People Like Us

PEOPLE LIKE US

This may be a fairly unpopular post, because it is provocative. I might have called it “Reimagining Heaven.” And actually, there is not very much material on Heaven in the Bible. Certainly not enough for the theme of a week-long revival or to fill the hundreds of pages of a book. I was invited to read a book that was popular in the Evangelical crowd a decade ago. The author suggested that our pets would join us in heaven when...

A Gathering of Eagles in Albany

A GATHERING OF EAGLES IN ALBANY

Deena and I heard about a second series of protests scheduled for all of the state capitals in the nation for noon on Friday, March 14th. This one seemed to be focused on program cuts to veteran’s health benefits and we wanted to be heard. Deena’s late husband Jim was a career servicemember as am I. We decided to attend. Much of this event seemed somewhat disorganized. It wasn’t clear to us who was promoting it. And we stumbled on...
