Coming back from New York City last night on the train, I was sitting next to a young lady who had just received her Doctorate in child psychology. Wanting to pass the time, we struck up a conversation. It’s a long train ride from New York to Baltimore. Having said that, we steered away from…

News media and the yoke of bondage

News media and the yoke of bondage  

There has been an outcry from the news media about how President Trump has criticized the press. It all started, they say, with Trump’s tweet in 2017 that “The fake news media is not my enemy.

Writer’s block and motivation to serve

My son and I were having a conversation the other night about writing. He loves to write. Takes after his dad. We were talking about writing on deadline and how to get motivated to write.

Many different news reports are characterizing the House Intelligence Committee’s impeachment. Depending on which news organization reporting, the President is either the worst violator of high crimes and misdemeanors in American history, or not. After reading the report, it takes an extraordinary imagination to conclude that this impeachment “inquiry” report is anything more than a…

Smelling a rat

Smelling a rat

In my early days, I was an award-winning investigative journalist. The awards came after having to convince my editors that there was a story when they just couldn’t see it (or as I later learned about their leftist ideals, they didn’t want to see it).
