I guess we have a new political term this week. And that word is civility. Of course, that is not a new word but its one the politics hasn’t known for, at least, twenty years. For those who do not know what civility means, Merriam-Webster dictionary defines it as,...
It has been almost two weeks since illegal immigration was an issue and it was the quietest time in the country. But all that changed this week. Worse, I have a feeling things are just going to keep going downhill. The whole problem started when Donald Trump ordered the...
Josie and I were at the gas station, getting some coffee this morning. We got in line to pay and Josie says to me, “Why?” I think I know what she is talking about (we do have that kind of relationship where telepathy binds us). In front of us...
I got into a couple of Twitter-fights last week. One over gun control and the other over the new tax plan that Trump implemented. Now, I usually do not do this because I have actual friends on Twitter and do not want to alienate anyone. But these two hot...

Here is the shocking announcement of the day: the Middle East is a hot mess. This week, the president (dictator) of Syria decided to use chemical weapons on the Syrian rebels (we think he did). Of course, he decided to bomb an area where tons of kids were located....
In this political climate, there are a lot of things said that are very inflammatory and extreme. In the past, these words were rarely used and, when used, were probably pretty accurate. Today, just disagreeing with someone can get one labeled. It actually is pretty sad. Not just because...
I am feeling political tonight. I saw some things today that really got me thinking. What is journalism? Are there ethics involved or is everything fair game just to a story? This week, a former Trump campaign aid, Sam Nunberg, decided to take a media tour. He worked as...
