TALES OF COVID-19

Posted by on in Points of View
The Wine Store Appreciates Your Business                Every two weeks we make the run to our local wine and spirits shop.  We load up on vodka, gin, vermouth, reds and whites.  When the lockdown began, we were relieved to hear that the wine store was considered an essential service.  It’s a mental health thing, we were told.  Anyway, we call in the order, give our credit card number and schedule a pick u...

Posted by on in Points of View
The Trump Administration is scrambling to prepare for a possible meeting between President Trump and the leadership of North Korea, and our foreign policy experts are wringing their hands.

In the United States, Hillary Clinton and Paul Ryan are globalists; Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders (at least partly) are nationalists.

The Three "I" Issues

Posted by on in Points of View
If you are following the 2016 election closely—as I am—you might wonder if there are any issues at stake. Most of the commentary among political pundits seems to be about personalities and temperament. We hear a lot about how Trump voters are angry or Sanders voters are idealists. The Establishment candidates (Hillary and Kasich) stick to their party lines: Supreme Court nominees, paid family leave, equal pay for women for Democrats and lower taxes, less regulation, repeal of Obamacare for Repub...
