  • Happy Memorial Day! Remember and honor those who died!

    This famous poem is now over 100 years old: Flanders Field today: And a painting of the soldier poet’s subject: So please remember. Don’t let their sacrifices be in vain. We will always be in their debt.

  • “What A Great Job You Are Doing”

    Great. Just great. Last month critics of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte’s murderous anti-drug crusade were dismayed by the official White House summary of a “very friendly” telephone conversation in which Donald Trump praised the bloodthirsty authoritarian for “fighting very hard to rid [his] country of drugs.” A newly revealed transcript of the April 29 call,…
