LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Sick of elites’ status quo
Independent thinking and comparative analysis of the two major political parties revealed to voters that President-elect Donald Trump had common sense, was willing to bravely step into the arena and in the spirit of our Declaration of Independence, pledge his life, fortune and sacred honor to help Americans regain our freedom. That is why he won the election. Published November 14, 2016
LETTER OT THE EDITOR: A more moderate Donald Trump?
No one has had more contempt for Donald Trump or his outlandish behavior than I, nor has anyone been more pessimistic about the future of the country under Mr. Trump's rule. Published November 14, 2016
Voters opt for pot in ballot initiatives
Americans are hardly suffering a shortage of ways to get high, but many of them are always on the scout for finding something else to crave. That's the message Election Day sent with approval of expanded legal access to marijuana. You can't legislate virtue, as the wise man said, but enshrining vice in the legal code is an easy way to pass a joint. Published November 14, 2016
New York Times editors, publishers in a fit over prediction of Hillary Clinton win
All across the fruited plain editors and publishers have come to terms — some with more grace than others — with the plain fact that their newspapers did something wrong in its coverage of the presidential campaign mercifully just past. That much is all to the good. You can't fix something until you realize it's broken. Published November 14, 2016
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Fraud doesn’t make a winner
I take serious issue with Tim Kaine, the Democrats and all distraught Hillary supporters now claiming that the Clinton campaign won the 2016 election's "popular vote." Published November 13, 2016
Grubby election aftermath
This is the season for paying off election bets, and not every angry loser takes his frustration to the streets. Some satisfy their anger by making others suffer. Matt Maloney is the founder and president of an internet food-delivery service in Chicago called Grubhub, and he was more than ready for Hillary. Published November 13, 2016
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Donald Trump should start with apology
This country lies in a terribly precarious position. I am constantly on edge, terrified of the hate crimes that could result from the President-elect Trump's dangerous rhetoric. We know from history that groups of people united by hatred can do awful things. Imagine what could happen when these groups believe that they have a president who supports their prejudices.

The republic survives the election
Only yesterday we were told to worry that crazed Trump voters might refuse to accept the inevitable triumph of Hillary Clinton, and take to the streets to riot, brawl and otherwise threaten law, order and the survival of the republic. Published November 13, 2016
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Now Donald Trump must walk the walk
As I write this, not even 24 hours have elapsed since Donald Trump beat the Hillary Clinton in the general election -- and the establishment types are already calling for grand gestures and magnanimity by President-elect Trump in forgiving Hillary her criminal and treasonous behavior. Published November 10, 2016
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Hillary Clinton supporters left out in cold
The Trump haters are crying in their beer, wondering how they lost. Hillary Clinton was under the impression that the people enjoyed what President Obama did to this country, so she thought she would win hands-down. How wrong she and the Democrats were, not to mention the polls and talking heads who blocked out the cries of our people. Published November 10, 2016
Trumping climate change
It's only a slight exaggeration that as America goes, so goes the world. As the returns rolled in from Election 2016, many delegates at the United Nations annual climate change conference, which opened Monday in Marrakech, Morocco, were on pins and needles. Published November 10, 2016
The media, polls were wrong
The Republican Party committed suicide Tuesday night. We were told on good authority that the Grand Old Party would do just that if it elected Donald Trump. The wise heads, if not necessarily the wise guys of media big and small, said so. Published November 10, 2016
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Why Donald Trump won
In a nutshell, the subtext of Hillary Clinton's "Stronger Together" slogan was this: 'Together, we use money to safeguard ourselves from our own vulnerability, create an illusion that we are not dependent on a higher power, blunt our sense of solidarity with and responsibility to the poor, and isolate ourselves from all others in need.' Gee, I wonder why Donald Trump won the election. Published November 9, 2016
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Predict correctly with certain polls
While many polls gave Hillary Clinton favorable predictions prior to election day, there were polls available that pointed to yesterday's result. Published November 9, 2016
The clear lesson of Tuesday
The Democrats and their media partners, who were so sure they had all the answers only days ago, are desperately trying now to figure out what went wrong. How could anyone so smart, so educated, so pure of heart be so wrong? Published November 9, 2016
Departure of the Beautiful People
The beautiful people, who never imagine that bad things can happen to them, are undone by the triumph of Donald Trump. The French ambassador to the United States thinks Tuesday was the beginning of the end of the planet itself. Published November 9, 2016
Barbara Comstock wins re-election in Virginia’s 10th District
In one of the most competitive races in the greater Washington area, Republican Rep. Barbara Comstock won re-election over Democratic real estate executive LuAnn Bennett in Virginia's 10th Congressional District. Published November 8, 2016
Australian challenge to North Korean golf supremacy goes awry
Golf is a liar's game, as anyone who has lingered in the clubhouse at the 19th hole could tell you, but some lies are more dangerous than others. You can get in trouble in North Korea, for example, by lying about your handicap at one of the world's most exclusive golf resorts. It's exclusive because it's the only golf course in the country. Published November 8, 2016
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Work for change post-election
In 1776 Thomas Paine wrote "These are the times that try men's souls." Nowadays, many like-minded and concerned citizens feel the same way about our elected and wannabe elected officials, and about the future of our country. Further, many of us didn't much care for our election choices this year. Published November 8, 2016
Eliminating ‘toxic masculinity’ is a girl thing
It's not easy being a guy these days, if it ever was. Those concerned about men's health believe they have discovered the root of a genetic disease that threatens ruin for the descendants of Adam. It's called "toxic masculinity" and it long ago went viral. The feminists and their intimidated acolytes are eager to inoculate half of the population, but they're puzzled to discover that some men prefer to be themselves. Published November 8, 2016
