The sudden resignation of National Security Adviser and retired General Michael Flynn and the unprecedented leaks pouring
out to damage and even destroy the Trump presidency is a throwback to what I
recall other nations (namely autocratic or communist regimes) did when the
political status quo felt threatened. Likewise, they often emerged as a
consequence of actions taken by top members in state sponsored intelligence operations.
There are several...

When
Donald Trump began his run for the Presidency, I thought to myself that he
reminded me of Andrew Jackson a little.
Not completely like these pundits currently have been suggesting, but
just a little. I said this even before
most made the comparison. Maybe it was
my bias of Jackson in my view being the greatest President (for destroying the
Second National Bank) ever and for being from Tennessee. But I also said that...

Years
ago there was a little girl, she operated a lemonade and candy stand, her name

Antonio Smith Jr., Tiana Ricks and Londyn Samuels are...

introduced by President Obama approaching some seven years ago. In light...

For decades now I have been saying that
there was no difference between Republicans and Democrats and with the election
of Donald Trump, no time since now has this even more clear. Sure folk will say
that Trump is a Republican, but I dare anyone to show any ideological bent he
has toward either party. If he is a
Republican, then Bernie Sanders is a Democrat.
But a more articulate example of this can be observed when one tries to

Long time ago during World War I, some cats in Russia
started to show their disdain for the ruling aristocracy. Led by Vladimir Lenin, these leftist revolutionaries called themselves the Bolsheviks. By all accounts of the historical record,
there was merit to their actions insofar as Russia had been under imperial rule for almost 200 years. The Bolsheviks represented the Russian Social-Democratic Workers’ Party who supported political change...
