Under ordinary circumstances, President Trump’s choice for the U.S. Supreme Court seat formerly held by Antonin Scalia would have no trouble receiving Senate confirmation. But, of course, we are not anywhere close to “ordinary” circumstances politically. So while Neil Gorsuch likely will be confirmed, it’s not going to be easy, and it certainly will not…
Read More about Trump’s SCOTUS ChoiceIt’s been quite a week for the Tweeter In Chief. He fired and hired, constructed and destructed, lectured, gestured and lit a fuse on a revolution. But for all the stunning news out of the White House during President Trump’s first week in office, perhaps the most instructive hint about what’s to come happened ten…
Read More about The Trump Thump
It’s not too early in President Trump’s administration to be able to say with some degree of confidence that the man is literally driving a good part of the nation crazy. You can see it almost anywhere you look. On television, reporters for ABC, NBC, CBS and MSNBC seem stunned — completely and utterly stunned…
Read More about Trump: Driving Us Nuts?President Donald J. Trump began and ended his inaugural address with the same phrase that he has used throughout his amazingly unlikely quest for and capture of The White House, “Make America Great Again.” A derivation, “America First,” was the one and only theme of the address, and, we must infer that it will be…

I’m not sure that Donald Trump can say anything that will “bring the country” together when he makes his presidential inauguration speech Friday.

Now, I’m not one of those optimistic fantasizers who think that the end of any year means only better things are in store the following year. History has proven…
Read More about 2016? Bah, Humbug!Democrats and liberal activists and the New York Times and the Washington Post are all going crazy – absolutely crazy – these days. They just can’t accept the fact that Donald Trump won the election — and because he did – he gets to appoint people to serve him in his cabinet. Democrats and liberal…

Every now and again, our nation seems to go crazy over the issue of burning the American flag. Burning the flag just enrages some people – to the point where they seem to lose their minds. The latest example of this came a few days ago when President-elect Trump went on Twitter again and stupidly…
Read More about Trump and the FlagLess than one week after Donald Trump’s stunning election as our 45th president, several things have become crystal-clear — unfortunately. One of them is that no matter what Trump has said or done since his election, those who opposed him will continue their opposition in ways that, frankly, seem mindless. Let’s start with what Trump’s…

So, yes, there was, indeed, a “hidden group” of Donald Trump supporters whom the pollsters never found and whom the “mainstream media” never wanted to find. And, yes, I thought that “hidden group” might exist, but I failed to see that they could turn out in enough force to lift Trump to the White House…
