The book is an excellent read; it was also a free read with Amazon Prime. You would think from the title this would be very political, but it does not come off that way. The writer, Ronan Farrow, is a reasonably familiar name but I did not know he worked in the state department. The… Continue reading Book Review “The war on peace the end of diplomacy and the decline of American influence – Ronan Farrow”

The "The Loudest Voice in the Room" by Gabriel Sherman was a fascinating book. I like books that deal with history or people and their accomplishments. I initially decided to read this book because of the Amazon show by the same name. The show was outstanding, but I want to get a bigger picture of… Continue reading Book Review – “The Loudest Voice In The Room”
What Is Fake News
What exactly is fake news? It tends to be a common theme in the last five or so years, but what does that mean? I can only assume, based on the context, it left-leaning (as called )news outlets that do not tell the truth to sway public opinion and how people vote.

Racism
I Grew up in a small New England state and an even smaller New England town. I was never exposed to any black people. To me, people are just people, and when I was younger, you just did not hear of such horrible things we see today. In hindsight, I guess that was a good… Continue reading Racism
We Are Getting To The Tipping Point

The Deep State ???
Conspiracy theorists exist everywhere and there is never a lack of opportunity for them to latch on to something. I guess if you look at everything from a critical and distrustful eye you can always find something that looks odd and questionable. You see this with presidential assassinations, there was Lincoln, and most famously with… Continue reading The Deep State ???
