“What happened to White People in America?” was in the subject line of an email I received from a friend recently. The email was a meme illustrating how white men have just about disappeared from television commercials in this country. Those who read my blog know I’m...

A few thoughts on the day
A few random thoughts before the media becomes preoccupied with the January 6th committee... The reason the media is focusing so much attention on the events of January 6th is because President Biden doesn’t have anything to brag about during this holiday season, not...
The Climate Deception Part III
My father used an expression with us kids whenever we got into trouble; he’d say, “Did you stop and think?” Well, I don’t know how much of an impact such a query made on a 10 or 11-year-old, but it could not be more appropriate for those who believe in the myth that...
The Climate Change Deception Part II
The climate debate centers around two primary issues, a) How much does man influence the climate, and b) what can be realistically done in those areas where man has adversely influenced the climate. The problem, and this is really the crux of the matter, is that...

This is the first of a three-part series on climate change, with the other two installments appearing tomorrow and on Wednesday. I’ve written numerous commentaries on the topic and have concluded that like most things in America, we have a choice. One can choose to...

A (true) Christmas Story
Years ago, I wrote a commentary for the Christmas Eve edition of the Vail Daily; a story that grows better with each passing year, so, I thought I would share it again today. Like most of us over the age of 50 (heh, heh) I have some ‘interesting’ memories of...
Just Sayin’
During a recent TV interview with MSNBC’s Willie Geist, Hillary Clinton said critical race theory was a “stalking horse” used by Republicans in the Virginia gubernatorial race to capitalize on anger parents harbored toward remote schooling during the pandemic, begging...
My First Time
Do you remember your first time? I sure remember mine. And no, it’s not what you’re probably thinking right now. The year was 1955 when my Uncle Joe asked my parents if I could join him to visit my paternal grandparents in Pasadena California. For a 10-year-old...
