 A former boss of mine (he knows who he is) gave me the great gift of a timeless phrase that I have used over the years far more times than most of my friends, family and co-workers wished: "It ain't that hard."  So allow me to vent a bit here and answer the question "Why won't Joe Biden freeze the $6 billion ransom payment to the Iranians?" Well, friends, IT AIN'T THAT HARD if you have paid any attention whatsoever to the nature of the person (Joseph Biden) we are talking about here. Here's the deal: An un-indicted criminal who is guilty of treason, bribery, money-laundering and God only knows (literally) what else—someone who has enriched himself and his family by selling influence, appointing foreign agents to government posts, abusing and using his own son, lying to the public virtually every time he opens his mouth, and by all accounts is a scantily-closeted sexual pervert—simply does not just make bad and baffling policy decisions regarding eve...

Angry and Bitter Uncle Joe If Joe Biden's pre-inauguration anger and bitterness are signs of his post-inauguration behavior--and I fear they are--we are indeed, as the President-elect is fond of saying, in for a long, dark winter. Only this one won't be seasonal in the usual sense of that word. This winter is going to last for four years or until Kamala Harris takes office and the winter continues, only darker and colder. So, why is it that Joe is angry, do you suppose. Is it because he hates Trump, and his anger will subside when Trump is gone? I think not. Is it because of his age, a natural grumpiness possessed of most octogenarians? I think not. Allow me to suggest several causes for Uncle Joe's anger. First, Uncle Joe wanted to be President long before now, back when he was younger, more physically and mentally fit, and not so tired of the grind of politics. Bitterness is a form of anger, and Uncle Joe is bitter that it took him this long to ascend to the Presidency. B...

Hitler rose to power largely, if not entirely, by instilling in the German populace a deep-seated fear of the German Communists, as well as an envious and resentful hatred for the Jews. For Uncle Joe, it's White Supremacists and Christians. Earlier this week I watched, for probably the fourth time, the History Channel series on Adolph Hitler. The day after the last episode in the Hitler series, which was two days after the mislabeled "Capitol Hill insurrection," I watched Joe Biden's press conference.  I try to not use the word "epiphany" too frequently or lightly, but I had one...an epiphany. Suddenly I knew what Biden was doing while in his basement bunker for the majority of his so-called Presidential "campaign." He was reading and re-reading " Mein Kampf, " and quite possibly binge watching the History Channel's Hitler series, asking himself why if a young German buffoon and underachiever was able to rise to power by appealing to...
