The picture above shows a bunch of letters flying toward the center of one of the Hubble Deep Field images. The “Power” the title references is a bit more mundane. (I don’t have the address of the All-That-Is.) The “Power” in the title is composed of a number of people in the Federal Government of the… Continue reading Letters to Power
Where do We Go from Here?
On Wednesday, November 9, 2016 at 2:40 AM, Donald J. Trump became President-elect of the United States of America. Where do we go from here? To say that I was disappointed with the election results is understatement in the extreme. I take Fluoxetine to treat Dysthymia. Seeing Hillary Clinton defeated rather than breaking the glass… Continue reading Where do We Go from Here?

How do You Want your Lies?
How do you want your lies … overt or covert … obvious or suspected? To say that the Presidential candidates of our two major political parties are unpopular is understatement.

Illegal Aliens
I am deeply concerned about our problem with illegal aliens. They are not limited to any one place. Indeed, illegal aliens are seen in every state and territory of our country. This invasion had been going on for decades … maybe tens of decades … with little or no resistance from anyone … especially our government. It seems likely that… Continue reading Illegal Aliens
Immigration
They’re coming to America … and many citizens of the United States don’t like it. A frightening number of those citizens seem less concerned about the distinction between legal immigration and illegal residence* than about immigration in general.
