The American Chronicles: The two-hour rule
Many Americans enjoy the rugged individualism, beautiful settings and just the plain joy of camping and travel with recreational vehicles. I’ve heard it told that for boat owners, for example, the happiest days of their lives is the day they buy their boat, and again when they sell it. RVing is not that way. Most…
Read MoreThe Trump Effect
You know things really have gotten off track when a president-elect is running the presidency like he already has taken office. Case in point is President-elect Donald Trump. His meetings, announced appointments, and public statements are having a tremendous impact all around the world and he hasn’t taken office, but it seems like he has.…
Read MoreStupidocrisy: No one is above the law
There has been a lot of “analysis” of Joe Biden’s pardon of his son Hunter after countless statements that he would not pardon Hunter because “no one is above the law.” There is a longstanding mantra by Democratic Party leadership saying that no one is above the law.

Over the ages, there have been many parallels drawn between the United States and Israel. Close allies since the declaration of Israel as an independent state in 1948, America and Israel have shared economic, political and spiritual links. One of those commonalities dates back to the original Pilgrims who ventured across the Atlantic to escape…
Read MoreThe Biden poison pill
Would a current US president try to destroy the country to maintain power? A person may have to suspend all disbelief to accept such a dastardly act, but it appears that the current Administration is doing just that. Yes, it is all wrapped around the idea of “peaceful transfer of power,” but beyond that idea…
