I’ve now read Henry Kissinger’s World Order several times. It’s a wonderful book steeped in history of governments and nations. But in the 21st century and perhaps in the past, too, private enterprise and trade as well as government actions that influenced those most important parts of human endeavor were greatly under-emphasized. It’s time for that to change.…
Read MoreThe mainstream liberal press didn’t defeat Scott Walker and a lot of other Republicans in 2014. The pendulum is swinging toward Republicans who really care deeply about the opportunity, wants, and needs of our American citizens. Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker cares and so do I. I want our country to regain its place in the…
Read MoreI’ve read and I plan to write a lengthy review of World Order, by Henry Kissinger. It’s quite informative and interesting, but so much of the book is taken up by wars, balance of power, and such with very little devoted to globalization and the fact that governments do not compare in size with private businesses…
Read MoreThe barbaric acts of the radical Muslims must be stopped. Militarily they can not be allowed to go on. But part of the long-term puzzle is a worldwide alliance of all major non-Muslim nations. The Sage of Singapore recommended that approach. This alliance would back the moderate Muslims. But another piece of the puzzle is…
Read MoreOne of the worst things that can plague a democracy is corruption and distrust toward its leader. That’s exactly what we would have if Secretary Clinton becomes the next president. It just doesn’t make sense to elect a person for president who can’t be trusted from the very beginning. We need an honest, capable, and…
Read MoreI recently wrote some thoughts as I was reading through (for the second time, I think), Henry Kissinger’s recent book, World Order. Although Kissinger doesn’t say so, I believe he thinks President Obama lost a war that had already been won, even though he had reservations about the nation building there and perhaps in the war…

Read MoreAs I’ve recently written, I read Henry Kissinger’s fine book, “World Order.” It’s well-written and certainly worth careful reading and consideration. But I do have one major problem with it – a book called “World Order” with practically little mentioned about globalization, business, taxation, regulations – so much of which directly affects – for good…
Read MoreI just finished reading two articles in The Economist about Hillary Clinton and her potential presidential campaign. I think she will have some serious issues being elected—problems that even her expected $1 billion campaign war chest won’t be able to overcome. The most serious is that she is not trustworthy and is unlawful in her actions, with…
Read MoreHenry Kissinger served as Secretary of State under Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford and advised many other presidents on foreign policy. His book contains a wonderful assemblage of information and wise analysis, culled throughout his lifetime, about history and worldwide current events. He even explains modern technology, from nuclear weapons to cyberspace warfare. For…
