Rush Limbaugh is a witty and humorous conservative and I wish him a speedy recovery but he's got two personal problems: he lies for Trump and he may not be a sociopath like the President. These two facts do not concern us so much as they concern Mr. Limbaugh who has cancer and may have gotten it from the stress of lying repeatedly on behalf of the President. Let me explain the link a little better. If you are a sociopath, you can lie all you want and not feel any of the stress of having lied, and not feeling stress, you tend not to get sick. Cancer is known to occur in people who are under unrelenting stress. Rush Limbaugh got sick with cancer because he is not a sociopath but thought that he, like the President, could get away with lying non-stop. I just saw Mitch McConnell on CNN. He also looks like he could come down with cancer any day. He may come across as the cool professional politician but inside he knows he's lying for the President and that stress will be his und...

[2016 Copyright. All rights reserved] In my last post, I speculated that Bernie Sanders would make a better opponent against the Trumpster than HillaryArtillery but that hinges on the Trumpster being a bona fide candidate.

No matter how egotistical you are, the office of President and its attainment by mortal men, does not lend itself to flippant remarks and actions. I know this because I have had may "if I ran the country" moments and none of my ideas are glib and all are enveloped in the golden rule and expressed in a serious vein. I've called Mr. Trump a Nazi xenophobe but that ultimate hitman was never seen joking about the issues he considered important--at least, not in any documentary I ever saw. Who would trust a hitman of Trump's ilk with access to a nuclear button? Now, you might say, "well, isn't this...

This is the last paragraph in Jeffrey Toobin's recent piece in The New Yorker on Ted Cruz . Cruz’s sincerity in these goals is beyond question. When he was solicitor general of Texas, he had a piece of advice for the lawyers on his staff. “I tried to stress to every lawyer in the office that if any lawyer from the S.G.’s office stands in front of the judge and says, ‘The law is X and the facts are Y,’ then that judge would always, always trust that we are levelling [sic] with them and telling the truth.” He’s approached politics the same way. “Since I became a senator, a year and a half ago, I’ve kept two promises to the people of Texas,” he said. “I have endeavored to do what I said I was going to do and I have always told the truth. It says something about Washington that those are perceived as radical acts." I don't doubt Senator Cruz' sincerity in wanting to realize his goals. The issue is, has he stated his goals without being disingenuous?   Or, differe...
