The handsome fellow in the picture is Kenneth Queen, shortly after his induction into the US Army Air Corps in December, 1941. An uncle of my wife Patricia, Kenneth was a bombardier in a Mitchell B-25 of the 12th Bombardment Group, flying missions in North Africa, Sicily, Sardinia and Italy – 56 in all. He …

Medical Issues
So Dr. Nancy Pelosi, fresh from serving up the largest helping of pork this nation has ever seen, calls President Trump “Morbidly obese?” Sorry, Fancy Nancy. Go back to giggling about your chocolate ice cream diet. After producing that three-trillion-dollar lard-bomb of a spending bill loaded up with safety nets for the indolent, payments and …
The Relevance of Aesop
This is what happens when classics such as Aesop are removed from the classroom in favor of the more-attuned “Heather Has Two Mommies:” instructions in common sense and good behavior are neglected, resulting in adults who are significantly more ill-mannered, credulous and gullible.

Awaiting sentencing since 2017. Ring any bells? It should, because it seems now that his verdict may be …
Progressive Dreams
What do our nation’s self-styled Progressives want for our future? Clues in past few days’ news ain’t pretty. Heeding the advice of Democrat political advisor Rahm Emanuel, they will not let the Corona virus crisis go to waste; rather, they are using it as part and parcel of a broad political strategy that bodes good …
