Just a Little More to Say ...

I must admit that I find the DraftKings commercial with comedian Kevin Hart and NBA basketball star LeBron James incredibly funny. In the commercial, LeBron James exclaims that he just received an NFL offer (actually a DraftKings bonus bet offer) and Kevin Hart proceeds to roast him with comments like: “NFL teams want someone who can run a 40 not someone who is 40; when the coach calls your number you will say G56 Bingo; and you will celebrate a win by passing out butterscotc

There is much discussion these days about the issue of affordability. The impact of limited supply and high demand of goods largely because of national COVID-19 lock down policies in the early 2020s produced inflationary pressures reaching 9% which had not been experienced since the 1980s. President Trump used the affordability issue effectively in the 2024 Presidential campaign.  Democrats did the same in the 2025 off year elections, most notably with Democrat Socialist Zohr

Much has been said recently about the video prepared and released by Senators Mark Kelly, Elissa Slotkin, and Congressmen Jason Crow, Chris Deluzio, Maggie Goodlander, and Chrissy Houlahan advising members of the U.S. Military of their right to refuse to obey unlawful orders from President Trump. With all due respect to Senator Kelly and his colleagues, I believe their video was more of a virtue signaling publicity stunt rather than a serious effort to offer wise counsel to t

Dear Governor Beshear: I trust this letter finds everything well with you and your family. I recently posted a blog letter to President Donald Trump. I felt that it was important that I provide him with an update from my perspective as an Evangelical Christian and a Conservative.  I am sure he appreciated several of the things I shared with him. It is also likely that he did not appreciate a few things I did share with him. My sense is that you will likely have the same react

In December 2021 my wife Cathy was diagnosed with third stage breast cancer and was required to decide if she wished to pursue the normal aggressive chemotherapy treatment regimen or opt to participate in a clinical trial with less aggressive chemotherapy administered. It was a very difficult decision. We prayed about it and soon reached the conclusion that at 63 years of age it made sense to give the cancer treatment the very best effort possible because there might not be t

While attending a doctor appointment with my wife recently, I told her doctor in jest that upon my retirement as a corporate lawyer, I have granted myself an honorary license to practice medicine! Her doctor managed a polite smile! So, while I am well out over my skis when it comes to medicine, I am not much better off when it comes to understanding the use of tariffs. But I will be sure not to allow this lack of expertise on tariff policy to preclude me from sharing a few th

The leadership of the Chinese Communist Party is learning in real time the truth of the old saying that a country needs to “get rich before it gets old.” For decades the Chinese government harshly enforced a “one child” policy which sought to limit families to one child to control population growth in China. The policy was indeed successful in limiting population growth. It also created a cruel culture of sterilization, abortion, infanticide, and abandonment of new-born girls

Dear President Trump: I trust this letter finds you well. I have heard tell from some reliable sources that you have some committed Christians who serve in your administration. I am thankful for this but understand that it may not always be easy or convenient for them to give you feedback on key domestic and foreign policy issues. Considering that, and as an Evangelical Christian and political conservative, I thought I would take the opportunity to share some of my thoughts w

I have heard it said many times over the years that a good indication for determining what is trending in the culture can be learned from what is being discussed in school. One such opportunity came my way several years ago when our son repeated a phrase he had heard in elementary school. Two things stood out about his utterance. First, he had no idea or understanding of the meaning of the statement he repeated. Second it was clearly antisemitic. While the statement repeated
