This morning I received an excited email from the American Academy of Nursing – the Powers that Be in nursing. The jist of the message was how excited the board members were with President Joe Biden’s list of executive orders. I have always suspected that I did not think or value many of the things...

The Message, the Messenger, and the Platform
In our violently argumentative and abusive society, we not only disagree with each other, we want to destroy each other because we disagree. Our arguments are primarily emotional rather than rational or logical. We seem to have lost the ability to debate ideas and issues and instead resort to abuse and attack. As I read...
My Predictions for America for the Next Four Years if Biden and the Democrats Win
What will happen to the United States if Biden becomes president.
The Importance of the Respect for Life
I wrote this article for Helium, a now-defunct ezine in January, 2013. All of the statement are based upon that version of the Catechism on the commandment “Thou shall not kill (murder).” I still hold to these opinions. Please note that all the links to the USCCB comments on the Catechism of the Catholic Church...
The Tendentious Letter Accusing Pope Francis of Heresy

Some Articles in Today’s News 3/29/2019 that Caught my Attention
A biopic of Clare Booth Luce. I realize that most people are not gifted with genius but few in the news can compete with what this woman accomplished in her life time. She exemplified the American dream: starting with “all the cards stacked against her” she managed to “pull herself up by her bootstraps.” Where...
Love your Neighbor
The United States Constitution was drafted as a document of rights and freedoms for the American people. Anyone reading the document can see the influence of Christian teachings running throughout. “Love thy neighbor’ is a continuing theme. It is emphasized repeatedly in the New Testament and is reflected in the Constitution. The responsibilities of citizens...
