Princeton moving toward 'adulthood'
Well now … it appears that Princeton, Texas, the city I’ve called home for the past seven years, is taking its next big step toward municipal adulthood. I am a happy taxpaying resident of this growing community. They’ve broken ground on the Princeton Town Center development, meaning that construction is going to start soon on a major grocery outlet that will serve as an anchor store for the…
'War president,' my ass
Donald Trump calls himself a “war president,” to which I say plainly, clearly and without apology: my ass! To be fair, Trump isn’t the first POTUS to never have worn the uniform, but he needs to follow the lead blazed by men who have worn it and who have acted with considerable reluctance to commit men and women to battle. I am thinking at this moment of five such men. Theodore Roosevelt, Harry…
Trump ruins a presidential act
Donald Trump today performed a supreme presidential act by going to Dover, Del., to receive the remains of three American service personnel who died in our nation’s Iran war. Then he ruined the moment by lying about what he said was coursing through the souls of these valiant American servicemen and women. He said all of them “said that Iran should not have nuclear weapons.” My first reaction…
TDS is real ... and I'm afflicted!
My name is John and I suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome. There. I’ve come clean. Critics of this blog might rejoice in my acknowledgement of what they have accused me of having. Fine. Let ’em crow all they want. Donald Trump has afflicted me with a condition I’ve never experienced before. Richard Nixon didn’t do it. If Tricky Dick couldn’t bring about an NDS — Nixon Derangement Syndrome —…
Do not underestimate this fool
For sure I have learned a lesson or two about Donald J. Trump, which is that never — not ever — believe he is finished when the whole rest of the world is saying as much. He was supposed to have been done during the 2016 presidential campaign after a number of ghastly personal performances. He managed to pull off the biggest political fluke in U.S. history by scoring enough Electoral College…
DST here for keeps?
Well, gang … it looks as though we might have permanent Daylight Saving Time in our immediate future, as Congress appears set to send a DST law to Donald Trump’s desk for his signature. I’ve written on this matter before. Truth be told, I don’t have a particularly strong preference, but were you to ask me and demand an answer, I guess I would say that if we’re going to have one measure of time…
Nationwide electoral theft? Impossible!
Let’s visit briefly — shall we? — Donald Trump’s continual harping about the 2020 presidential election and how the result, a victory by Joe Biden over Trump, was an act of electoral theft. It didn’t happen. Here’s how I know that to be so. To suggest that a federal election was orchestrated to produce a winner ignores this undeniable fact, which is that our elections are conducted by…
Trick knee is throbbing again
Many of you know about my trick knee. I have relied on it on occasion when I feel something unusual might be about to happen. I want to remind you that “might” is the operative word. I cannot predict anything. I dare not try. My record of predicting outcomes is pretty shabby. I mean, I was one of many so-called pundits who said Hillary Clinton was a shoo-in to capture the presidency in 2016. Wow…
More of the same trash from Trump
I won’t pattycake this issue with you … but so help me when I heard that Donald Trump had a big announcement to make during his prime-time TV talk I was hoping for something really spectacular. That would be an announcement that he was quitting the presidency, that he’d had enough of the negativity surrounding him and his administration. Truth be told, I was hoping for a sort of an “LBJ moment,”…
Candidates' health is of major concern
I can’t claim this as an original thought, because I am stealing it from a friend of mine, but candidates’ health must become a major issue in determining their fitness for a job. We’ve had too many presidents of the United States taking office while hiding serious illness. My friend notes that President Wilson suffered a debilitating stroke, President Cleveland suffered from cancer, President…
Game of election denial ... breathtaking!
Never in my life — not ever! — have I witnessed a rhetorical game being played out to the extent that it has been regarding the result of the 2020 U.S. presidential election. I’ve been around a bit, as I am now 76 years of age and have been following politics pretty closely for, oh, about the past 60 years. Donald Trump’s choice to become the next director of national intelligence was merely…
Blast from my blogging past
https://highplainsblogger.com/?p=1000 I wrote this piece in July 2010. I thought I would show it to you once more to illustrate the occasional rough spots my journey through daily journalism took me.
ICE goons back at it
The individuals who comprise the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency do not deserve to be called “law enforcement officers,” as they routinely break the law with actions that result in the deaths of innocent U.S. residents. I’ll stick with terms I believe more closely describe the character of these masked, heavily armed and unidentifiable individuals. You know, terms like goons, thugs,…
Lowering flags for this clown?
Someone will have to explain why flags all over Collin County, Texas, have lowered to half-staff … and I damn sure hope it isn’t to honor the memory of a piss-ant partisan who died over the weekend. I have concluded that the flags are flying at half-staff because Sen. Lindsey Graham — a Republican from South Carolina — has passed away. Now, I must ask: What in the name of politics has Graham…
Sen. Graham is gone, but damage is done
I wish I could speak well of Sen. Lindsey Graham now that he’s dead … but the hard truth is that I cannot in good conscience speak of him without tossing out a qualifier or two. Graham was a South Carolina Republican who became one of Donald Trump’s fiercest allies in the Senate. And this was after he portrayed himself as one of Trump’s most ferocious critics. It makes me wonder: Which Lindsey…
Redefining 'winning' and 'losing'
It seems safe to say that Donald J. Trump has reinforced something I have believed for the past 50 years or so, which is that we have redefined winning and losing wars. I took part briefly in the Vietnam War, which is generally considered to be a conflict that the United States lost to a determined enemy. We won virtually every major engagement on the battlefield. We inflicted far more…
