How can Trump fool so many?
You are watching a beauty pageant and each contestant is asked a question, usually about world events, to measure her spontaneity and intelligence. Then that beautiful young lady opens her mouth and the truth comes out — she’s an air head. On the Today Show recently, the topic was the tragic events unfolding in Brussels, […]

GOP’s predicament
The Republican establishment has a difficult time understanding the attraction of Donald Trump. I am a big fan of Mr. Trump, but if Republicans had spent as much time and energy fighting against Obama’s unconstitutional actions as they have working against Trump, they would not be in this predicament. With regard to Mitt Romney’s comments […]

What politics is about
Growing up in the aftermath of World War II, I wondered how Adolf Hitler could have turned so many of the fundamentally decent German people into the vicious, murderous, bigoted force of the Nazi movement. Now I understand. Donald Trump has shown me how it is done. His inflammatory rhetoric and his many lies have […]

Do we want a dictator?
Donald Trump must be stopped. Many people who are old enough to remember the events of World War II are alarmed that Trump sounds and acts much like the dreadful dictator who caused it all, Adolf Hitler. The way Trump talks and shouts is like Hitler, seen in newsreels of the 1940s. Hitler told the […]

Two of a kind
So, Gov. Paul LePage is backing Donald Trump. That is not a big surprise. They are two of a kind — big foul-mouthed blowhards. Trump thinks that he is never wrong and LePage will rarely admit that he might be wrong. People say that Washington, D.C., is broken. There is no doubt about it being […]

Make America great again?
“Nellie the Circus Elephant packed her trunk and said goodbye to the circus. Off she went with a trumpety trump, trump trump trump.” That’s from a children’s song by Mandy Miller. I can’t think of a more appropriate theme song for Donald Trump’s campaign circus, especially since it is a child’s song, and the Trumpster’s […]

Establishment picking on Trump
I am so ashamed of the Republican Party and its nasty tactics trying to defame Donald Trump. Members of the old guard are very scared of losing control. They are getting so desperate and they are acting like spoiled, nasty brats. Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and Mitt Romney are the party’s attack dogs. The old […]
