He Wasn’t Called “Tricky Dicky” for Nothing

Posted on June 13, 2022 by cdsmiller17

Richard M Nixon (January 9, 1913 – April 22, 1994) I have a rather jaundiced view of this time period in American history. I was still young enough to be an idealist, and I had a decidedly (small ‘l’) liberal … Continue reading →

Posted on June 11, 2022 by cdsmiller17

January 6, 2021 (and Thereafter) I’m not being facetious here. The Storming of the Capitol Building looked like Kristallnacht, but in the daytime. And, interestingly enough, the (new) American Government reacted in a knee-jerk fashion, by erecting fences in Washington, … Continue reading →

Does This Planet Affect Effective Communication?

Posted on June 3, 2022 by cdsmiller17

Did He Kill Her or Was It “Something” Else?

Posted on May 30, 2022 by cdsmiller17

The Staircase (Netflix Documentary) Never underestimate the power of the main stream media to ‘influence’ a jury before a case is tried in court. That seems to be the lesson here. I watched the first four episodes of this (now) … Continue reading →

Posted on May 28, 2022 by cdsmiller17

Elizabeth Johnson Jr (1670 – 1716) This has been in the news lately. This young woman was sentenced to be ‘hanged by the neck until dead’ but had her sentence thrown out by the Governor of Massachusetts, at the time. … Continue reading →

Maybe This is Exactly What Everyone Wants…

Posted on May 16, 2022 by cdsmiller17

The World Going to Hell in a Handcart You know what I’m going to write next, don’t you? Be careful what you ask for, you just might get it. Putin and Russia want a neutral buffer zone around their borders. … Continue reading →

Posted on May 9, 2022 by cdsmiller17

MH 370 Finally Located? I’m usually not easily deceived, but this one pulled the wool over my eyes, and made me consider an alternate explanation that was likely improbable, if not downright impossible. Here’s my original post. Now it seems … Continue reading →

“Now Did You Read the News Today?”
