My husband of 57 years is a Donald Trump fan. He wears his Trump shirt and “Make America Great” hat proudly. Many times during the past few months he has received glares and hateful comments. He has expressed concern about America’s younger generation and their protesting in the streets against the duly-elected, future President Trump. […]

Repeating history
Lesson: Those who ignore history are condemned to repeat it. Example: In 2000, the chosen successor of a popular, two-term Democratic president won the popular vote but lost the presidency to an incoherent, wealthy Republican with a famous last name who bankrupted a few businesses before going into politics. He enacted massive tax cuts that […]

Food for thought
What I miss from the good old days of yore: Ice fishing on Saturdays on Taylor Pond, then cooking the “catch of the day,” be it perch, pickerel or trout, rolled in flour then cooked in bacon fat. Saying toll house cookies. Saying spaghetti, linguini, et. al., instead of “pasta.” Mustard in jars and ketchup […]

Election reaction
I woke up to a nice, sunny day but when I saw on television that Donald Trump had been elected as president, the clouds rolled in and I lost my appetite for breakfast. Every time I saw him on television, bragging about what he would do if elected, I would change channels. I think Hillary […]

Clean up the mess
Imagine sitting in your living room; the dog rushes in from outside and barfs on the carpet. Everyone sitting around has a different reaction — some look away, others throw up their hands and say it is not my problem. You grab the paper towels and clean up the mess, but a big stain remains. […]

Nation used to celebrate democracy
I offer my appreciation to all the restaurants in the area that gave veterans a free meal. Veterans, such as myself, do not take the kindness that people show them for granted. We served our country when called upon. The nation didn’t care whether those serving were Republican or Democrat, or the color of their […]

Beyond deplorable
Just when America thought that this dirtiest of campaigns was finally over, out came the youthful disenchanted, filling the streets and rioting under the name of protesting. Carrying signs declaring that “Love trumps Hate” while rioting and destroying at the same time is beyond deplorable. It is unbelievable and shows the glaring hypocrisy of the […]

Time for peace in this country
Demonstrations taking place in various parts of this country show just how bad this nation has fallen. God’s word tells us that everyone elected in this nation is set there to serve God’s ultimate purposes and to serve the Lord. The president should be respected, no matter how people feel about him. People should be […]

Hope Trump gets the point
In writing training sessions I do around the U.S. and in the Middle East, Europe and Asia, I urge students to maintain a tone of respect and civility in email, no matter how emotions rise and fall in the workaday world. Anything less and you risk eroding morale and productivity. Email simply makes it too […]

Trump supporters fought back
A lot of people cannot understand how Donald Trump won the election and fault the GOP and Trump’s apparently deplorable, irredeemable supporters for voting him into office. How did Trump supporters come to be? It was the liberals. They created Trump supporters when they attacked supporters’ freedom of speech and the right to bear arms. […]
