Democracy at the Crossroads
I have not written a blog for some time, but political events in the United States have motivated me to say something. For the past three-and-one-half years, the leadership of the United States government, and by extension, the Western World, has been rudderless. It...
The Pending Calamity
On November 5th, 2024, an election will be held to determine the next president of the United States. At the moment, the two major contenders are the incumbent president Joe Biden, a Democrat, and the former president, Donald Trump, a Republican. There is also a...
My Recent Silversea Experience
In mid-October of this year, my wife, sister-in-law, and I went on a 22-day Western Mediterranean cruise, embarking and returning to Lisbon, Portugal. We were looking forward to cruising on Silversea’s new ship, the Silver Nova. The cruise was billed as a first-class,...
It Is 2023. Something Is Terribly Wrong with Our Society
It has been a while since I wrote my last blog. The majority of my blogs focus on negative things that concern me, so I was waiting for something uplifting and positive to inspire my next blog. For example, I could write about things that make me happy. However,...
Events Cry Out for Some Sort of Societal Reset
Myriad events in our world foretell an unhappy ending for humanity. We are being indoctrinated to accept events and ideas–which had they been advanced but a very few years ago would have been laughed out of existence–and those advocating for this foolishness would,...

The Generational Divide
Those born in the first two decades of the twentieth century were members of North America’s greatest generation. Arguing against that statement is hard, bordering on the impossible. These folks defeated the evil warmongers in Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan, and...
My Attempt to Define “Woke”
The other day my wife Brenda asked me what the word “woke” meant. She had, like the rest of us, heard the word used too often in both print and electronic media, especially when mainstream media is being criticized for doing their best to justify what to most...
Health Care in Crisis: Why?
With a severe shortage of medical staff and long dangerous waits for hospital services—including life-saving operations and emergency care—our Canadian medical system is in turmoil. We are told that there is a chronic shortage of doctors. That nurses are overworked...
The State of the Union Is in Grave Danger
Two weeks ago, I watched some of Joe Biden’s State of the Union address. I only watched part of it because I was switching between his address and the Flames/Minnesota hockey game, which was much more interesting than watching someone try to read off a teleprompter...
