    Thanks Jens. Indeed, there is a lot of matwrial out there for watch fans, and lots of it is excellent. I’d love to purchase a one of those great timepieces I find at flea markets, but how far “off beat” are they […]

    The Mueller Report is in… but is the real crime collusion, or has the president been using it as a rhetorical decoy to hide other crimes? There is a case to be made that the Trump administration, with GOP c […]

    Political correctness is one very important issue, because it affects the interpretation of 1A, which, sadly, has lost a lot of its shine. I suspect strongly that it was written with the idea(l) of an enlightened […]

    AT SOME POINT, the Parkland shooting may be seen as the turning point in the struggle to end what can only be termed NRA blackmail of much of the country and its purchase of unquestioning political support from […]
