The two areas of American life that I’ve seen the most changes from the 1950s to the present are in education and the media. We all started school in Kindergarten. There was no pre-school in the 50s, at least where I grew up in Brooklyn. Now, kids are expected to have a pre-school experience before […]

Someone would have to be deaf, dumb and blind not to have seen this coming. Although I tried to remain positive over the past several months, I knew this was not going to go well. What the Democrats wanted was chaos resulting in a Biden/Harris win and that’s exactly what they got. As soon as […]

With few exceptions, every time I turn on a news program or open a website, the so-called reporters or journalists are screaming “the sky is falling!” In the mainstream media, there’s always some catastrophic reportage about the President Trump and/or Mrs. Trump. So many great things are happening in this country, but you’d never know […]

Despite what the dishonest media want us to believe, President Trump didn’t create the current illegal immigration mess. Congress and the courts created it and it’s been around for decades. And President Trump isn’t the first to bring our attention to illegal immigration. There was a time when Liberals, such as Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, […]

If Donald Trump cured cancer, this is exactly what I would expect to happen. The Left would be outraged and I would expect headlines in the NY Times, Wall Street Journal, on CNN and MSNBC to read, “What Took Him So Long?” “My Body, My Choice!” “Trump Cures Cancer But Unable to Tackle the Common […]

Way before Donald Trump became President, I had a dislike and mistrust of the press. A boss of mine, back when I was a legal secretary, who was one of dozens attorneys involved in the Getty estate, told me, “Never talk to the press. They’ll always get it wrong.” Solid advice. Years later, when my […]

Sometimes I wish I was clueless. Indifferent. Uninformed. Unfortunately, for me, I am none of these things. And my poor husband has been subjected to my ranting all week about what’s been happening in Congress. He is a saint. All week, I’ve watched Senators posturing, sermonizing, feigning concern for the American people and grandstanding. I […]

Congress has an abysmal approval rating of about 20%. There are dozens of reasons for this rating. Right now, my disapproval with Congress stems from the chaos in Washington over healthcare. Obamacare is imploding. It’s up to the Republicans to repeal and replace it. I know the Democrats will say NO to anything the Republicans […]

So, less than twenty-four hours after the election was called in Donald Trump’s favor, and after speeches by President-Elect Trump, Hillary Clinton and President Obama asking the country to unite, college students took to their campuses to whine about the outcome. The Wall Street Journal’s headline reads: “Colleges Try to Comfort Students Upset by Trump […]

The latest media frenzy is Donald Trump’s rude/crude remarks about women captured on a hot mic over 10 years ago. I’m not here to defend Donald Trump’s words. But I certainly am not “offended” by them. When it comes to these types of dumb remarks by men, I chalk it up to the late Joan […]
