Hitler or Stalin?

Sometimes, there are no good choices. Putin is not Hitler, but an argument could be made that he is closest in his action to dead old Adolf as anyone in power today. Vladimir has, after all, launched a war of aggression against a peaceful neighbor. The Ukraine is no Utopia, and may well have been one of the most politically corrupt places on earth, but I did not see columns of Ukrainian tanks streaming toward Moscow. There is no perfect party or totally innocent one ine the Russia-Ukraine War, but if you accept that countries should not attack other non-threatening nations, then you should support the self-defense of the Ukraine.

Something Drastically Wrong

Two catastrophic events have recently taken place in Texas. The school shooting where law enforcement failed to intervene for agonizing minutes and the escape of a murderer that led to a family being massacred. Texas purports itself to be a "law and order" state, but look at the border crossings into the Lone Star state going virtually unchecked, the rampant homelessness in state capital Austin, the soaring crime and murder rates in Houston, and it is obvious a great deal is amiss in one of the nation's largest states. I fear that in spite of a "tough on crime" reputation, Texas is becoming lawless.

For Everyone Else

I was in no way saying yesterday that doctors should not be amply compensated. Where else are you going to preserve and extend your lives?

Treatments Versus Cures

I have and had numerous relatives and friends who are members of the medical community including some in research. I broached the subject once of looking for "cures" for particular diseases. I was stunned to hear this physician say that "cures are not sought. If you cure a disease you are only paid once, but if you find a treatment, you have a patient for life". That mercenary aspect of medicine confounds me to this day.

Global Warming Leader

Fading old Joe is like the tub of ice cream you forgot in the car on the hottest day of summer. He is melting, as is his ill-gotten regime. Unfortunately, it is the American people and those who want freedom the world over who are suffering for Biden's dogmatism and incompetence.

The folks in Paris this time of day arrive with joy at their favorite cafe// The times they share are so gay// And all the love Parisians do display// Makes me wish that I could stay// In the City of Lights come what may// Worth any price I'd be asked to pay// I yearn to be there but there's just no way

The Double Game

We have seen since Ted Kennedy drowned a girl and growing worse in recent years a double standard in regard to the laws of the United States wherein DemocRATS who commit crimes with political overtones are rarely prosecuted and when they are, are almost never convicted while heretofore legal activity by members of the GOP are now prosecuted as crimes. This pattern seems to have prevailed once again in the Sussmann case, just as it did with many of the BLM DemocRAT foot soldiers either never charged with crimes they had actually committed or given slaps on the wrist while Trump supporters who were waved into the Capitol by police languish in jail. When you have different application of law based on political affiliation, you have no justice at all.
