WE’RE BEING PLAYED BY ZELENSKY

The USA is being played by President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine. Mr. Zelensky will be referred to hereinafter as “Shirt” mainly because he wants to be the star of the all groups a la Mao or Che…action heroes. Some more than others. C’mon Shirt. Lighten up. Good thing Nancy isn’t President, she’s send him home

BIDEN JOB APPROVAL HITS 37%

I follow Gallup Polling because they make it fairly easy to compare how a sitting President, Joe Biden, is doing, when compared to former presidents at different points in their presidencies. Take a President like Barack Obama. He served two terms and just touched a Gallup job approval rating of 38% for a couple of

BASKETBALL AT THE GARDEN

In the old days, the Garden was at 8th Ave and 50th. That’s where Willis Reed came out of the tunnel and blew the roof off Madison Square Garden. If you were in that crowd on that night, you would be telling everybody you knew about that moment for the rest of your life…the moment

MY PEOPLE: ACCENTUATE THE POSITIVE

Let’s have fun. Truth be known I’m a little behind the curve on some stuff like War, Peace and the Economy. I’m willing to bet we’ve got a little of each. I’m going to make a list of people I like at least a bit at some time in their life. If a particular name

ENOUGH ALREADY WITH UKRAINE

The two most important things to know about Ukraine are: ONE. There wouldn’t be such a place as Ukraine were it not for the heroism of Russia in WWII. Russia lost 24 Million Soldiers and Civilians defeating the NAZIS and thereby saved untold additional millions of Jews from the Holocaust and additional millions of American

EXHAUSTING ALL ALTERNATIVES

Churchill had a great line about the USA. “You can always count on the Americans to do the right thing, but only after exhausting all other alternatives.” When I think of how it sometimes takes our Country a while to get things right, I remember how those who wanted to keep fighting in Vietnam would

UKRAINE: IT’S GETTING COMPLICATED

CNN reported over last weekend that the total dead from the Ukraine War are 180,000 Russian dead and 100,000 Ukrainian dead. Also, CNN reported the USA spent $100 Billion helping Ukraine in the last year. As Former Senator Everett Dirksen would say, “A $100 Billion here and a $100 Billion there, after a while you’re

GOOD NEWS: HENRY KISSINGER IS UP AND ABOUT

Whenever I think of Henry Kissinger, I think of Harvard and, specifically the “Harvard Cheer.” As I recall, it goes something like this: “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, try again. But, after a while, give up and don’t be obnoxious about it.” Henry has been up and about lately. Writing an article

THE LONG DARK TUNNEL

Recently, I had occasion to hear a wise man from the East, George Yeo, talk about Ukraine, the US and Russia, the three main protagonists in the Ukraine War. Mr. Yeo, a former General in the Singapore Military and Foreign Minister of Singapore is a graduate of Cambridge in England and the Harvard Business School

AN OFFER HE COULDN’T REFUSE

Maybe Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi made Zelensky an offer he couldn’t refuse. Like, for instance, an opportunity to speak to a Joint Meeting of the Congress. Nancy has sole control of the House Floor until January 3, 2023. Time was of the essence. She’s not going to give that away. Please. Nancy Pelosi didn’t
