Societies in flux, real paradox

This one is going to hurt your head. Ask yourself these questions: How could Nazi Germany be so brutal before and during World War II, yet the society turned around and became new world leaders in kindness, acceptance and an economic power? Japan incited brutal tactics, numerous atrocities, murdered hundreds of thousands of Chinese, employed […]

The big change is coming

We (The Times) have been on pins and needles for the past two months. We have been printed by the Gannett printing plant in Gates for nearly a decade. Then Gannett announced that their printing plant would be closing and moving the printing of the daily Democrat & Chronicle to another plant out of state. […]

17 weird observations in life

Going through life I have had some weird observations that have both bewildered and truly, utterly confused me. First: You probably haven’t observed this, and my pointing it out will undoubtedly begin to bug you as you watch TV shows and movies in the future. In late night outdoor scenes, there is a 99% chance […]

After all, we're only human

Let’s take a look at the present human condition. Why in the hell, would somebody take an AR 15 into a grocery store, movie theater, night club, whatever and just gun people down? Why are states returning to the 1800s and before, by allowing open gun carry laws to once again become a reality? While […]

Assumptions

By now just about everyone is familiar with the Tyre Nichols case in Memphis, Tennessee. Last Friday (1/27) the clamoring for release of 67 minutes of both police body camera video and  nearby security camera video tappings were released to the very anxious media and awaiting public. Why anyone, after knowing the facts surrounding the […]

This and That

Believe it, or not, there are some people who deny the Holocaust ever happened. The Holocaust (Shoah) is the term for the murder of around six million Jews and other peoples by the Nazi regime and their collaborators  during the Second World War. Between 1941 and 1945, the Nazis sought to eliminate the entire Jewish […]

A column regurgitation of sorts

Okay, you have heard me spew this before. President Joe Biden should absolutely, positively not run for reelection in 2024. Besides being old and showing it more and more in his speeches and manner, his term has been riddled with gaffs, guffaws and outright stupid. Yeah, he failed miserably in the recent/current secret documents foible […]

Getting Old

Remember that song... “I Never Promised You a Rose Garden”, a 1970 song by Lynn Anderson and the subsequent movie of the same name in 1977? If not, you probably won’t get much of this column...yet. This past week I had my yearly physical with all the new and emerging aches and pains. The doctor […]

Immigration policy...

Immigration Policy...In a nutshell: The body of law governing U.S. immigration policy is called the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).
