From The Front Line
“I have
“narcanned” multiple addicts, multiple times on the same day! We revive
them, they refuse treatment and as soon as we are gone, go back to getting
high again.”
Moles
“It is one thing to make adjustments to the “ship of state”, it’s entirely something else to try and overturn it.”
The syndicate wants one third.
Imagine the local syndicate shows up, and demands a third of your paycheck. You worked hard for that money. You sacrifice. You put all your family has at risk to earn it, and the syndicate want’s half. If you don’t comply, they will take all that you have, […]
Backfire?
What’s coming out of Washington DC right now is far from business as usual, but what’s even more unique is that so many fence sitters (cumulatively referred to as the “we will see” crowd) are coming down firmly in the Trump camp. I recently read an op-ed in […]
A Vietnamese perspective of America
My wife’s first impressions of life here vs. life in Vietnam… If someone were to ask me if there are any similarities between American and Vietnamese cultures my answer would be “No”. We are so different. The language, the people, the faith, and the way we do things. […]

The Last Jedi: Flawed But Entertaining
After much reading and extensive discussions with close friends and family I decided to reverse course and went to see “The Last Jedi” last night. Tuesdays are half price everything so I had nothing to lose but time. I believe I know what the problem with the “audience’s” […]
Behind the Crescent
I was in college, a Junior, it was 1980, I met a girl…isn’t that how it always starts? She was a foreign student, Turkish. Her English was better than mine. She was an Engineering student…Mechanical Engineering. In the so-called 3/5 program…3 years at Barnard for a BA in […]
ACA: The Enemy of our Enemy

Rather than serving it’s proper purpose of paying for necessary government services such as law enforcement, defense, and infrastructure it has, in many instances, been used to punish and reward certain segments of the population depending on which ideologues hold the […]
