DETROIT NEWS’ EDITOR… UNIFORMED ON GAZA I read Detroit News editor, Nolan Finley’s, personal bio in the 8/10/2025 Sunday paper, “Co-author of the Civility Book, a Guide to Building Bridges Across the Political Divide.” That’s the same Nolan Finley who is an on again, off again supporter of Donald Trump. But, always a supporter of […]
ABBOTT THE ASSASSIN I heard a Texan (former) NASA employee on NPR Radio yesterday (7/9/2025). He didn’t want to say anything bad about anyone or any organization from Texas. But, the NPR interviewer “pulled” out of him… the prior plan from 2017 and 2018 with the sirens for early warnings for Kerr County aka “Flash […]
America Exporting Torture Spoiler alert. This is not about hyperbole. This is about STRENGTH and doing the RIGHT THING. This is about rectifying America’s “admitted” mistake and bringing Kilmar Abrego Garcia out of El Salvador’s torture chamber and back home to his American wife !!! (if he is still alive). I am a child of […]
TRUMP IN ACTION (NOT A FLATTERING PICTURE) Trump (like an unruly teenager) ridiculously boasted in 2016 that he could “stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody” and he “wouldn’t lose any voters.” Little did we know then (2016) what we do know now (2024). Trump’s ridiculous boast was a prescient prediction (redundancy […]

Five years ago (this very month), I covered our divergent views of Donald Trump, Trump… Same Neighborhood, Different Views. Now, I update those differing views… again highlighting our fundamental disagreements of life, law and […]
Religious Discrimination in America Christianity seeking the freedom to discriminate ??? Oh, yes. https://flip.it/VBQNlB… Exactly that and more. What more ??? It’s really Right-Wing Christianity (in violation of Separation of Church and State) seeking to be (1) the controlling and dominant religion of America and (2) seeking to control the rest of us (left-wing Christians […]
Truth in the Holy Books ??? I truly appreciate the Holy Books. They are Pulitzer Prize writings… works of high literary art that, like many other works of art, pronounce general, philosophical truths. The Holy Books tell compelling stories that give great comfort and insight into life, and into the spiritual struggle that human kind […]

Education to Enlightenment and Wisdom My friend, Stuart McCann, recently lamented… “Oh, the multitudes of the ‘educated… yet not the least bit ‘enlightened.’” I think my friend correct. Many are called, but few are chosen. Likewise, many are educated, but few are enlightened. In my own present state of limited enlightenment, I see the Journey […]
Smoking a Joint with “The Killer”… or Not? It was 1966. I had just graduated from the University of Detroit Jesuit school with a degree in Mathematics. It was my first year without football in 12 years, and I was looking forward to a job befitting the first College Grad ever in my family. I […]
