GOD
One thing I’ve learned in my 76 years is how to identify important matters. GOD is IMPORTANT! Pray! Pray! Pray! Pray!
Read MoreHONESTY AND THANKSGIVING
I’ve had this important concept confirmed by a professional; that if one is honest with oneself and others, then, over time, your judgment improves. Since childhood, I have tried to pursue such a path. I believe that the way that such an effort works is that our minds dwell mostly in our unconscious. If we…
Read MoreREPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS
I have been a lifelong Republican since President Ronald Reagan. He vitalized the American economy for about 25 years by lowering taxes and regulations. And through adroit leadership followed by an astute President H. W. Bush-won the Cold War with the Soviet Union. The last Democrat as President that I admired was President John F.…
Read MoreA LOST COMPASS
In my opinion, whatever compass the Democrats had, they lost it when the House passed what I have called a Monster bill. Perhaps it should instead be named “The Hyper-Inflation” bill. “The Wall Street Journal” (dated November 22, 2022) identified it as “gargantuan, destructive, and unnecessary.” All Republicans in the House voted against this travesty-(with…
Read MoreI CARE
Last night I attended a performance of our Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra. Oddly enough, part of the presentation was verbal with a Black lady reciting a “poet” as the music played intermittently. Her words invoked the plight of the slaves. At intermission, I chose to leave, partly to keep it from being too late a night.…
Read MoreCONGRATULATIONS! VIRGINIA’S ELECTION INTEGRITY BOLD STROKE!
(Source: “The Epoch Times,” which I highly recommend, this one dated November 10-16, 2021) This fine publication reported that Republicans made an outstanding “grass-roots” effort which led to over 3000 new poll watchers (a majority of them conservatives). The endeavor had begun over a decade ago. Similar strides are planned for the 2022 mid-term elections.…
Read MoreRECKLESS DEMOCRATIC INFLATION
(This blog was gleaned from “The Wall Street Journal,” dated Thursday, November 11, 2021, and my own perspective.) The bold Headline reads, “Inflation Rate of 6.2% Marks a 31-Year High.” Key points follow: >The price increases are broad and while raises are prevalent, inflation is dominant and likely to persist. >The Trump/Republican tax/economy policies worked…
Read MoreASTUTE VOTING FOR NEW ORLEANS
I have been a student of American/Presidential/Foreign Policy from childhood. However, a New Orleanian with similar local interests and a deep knowledge of our city has furnished me with a trusted guide to our upcoming election, Saturday, November 13, 2021. Therefore, I highly recommend the following to lead our city and an educated point of…
Read MoreVIRGINIA AND NEW JERSEY
In “The Wall Street Journal” dated November 4, 2021, I have analyzed the Tuesday elections. In Virginia, Republican Glen Youngkin, a businessman, yet a novice to politics, ran a superb campaign focused primarily on education, safety, and the economy, and he WON! Let’s address education first. He emphasized “academic transparency” whereas his Democrat opponent, Mr.…
Read MoreDANGER LURKS!
I subscribe to an outstanding, authoritative publication, “Scientific American.” whose November, 2021, publication includes an alarming cover article, “Vapor Storms: A wetter, warmer atmosphere is causing devastating hurricanes and flooding rains.” This blog is derived from quotes and information from that shocking article written by Jennifer A. Francis, a senior scientist and acting director of…
