There is now a heated debate in the Evangelical community about supporting Donald Trump.   They made a deal with the devil four years ago and abandoned their principles so they could achieve material gain here on Earth.  The folly, evident to all except the Evangelicals, was that that in order to elect Trump they … Read moreDoes What You Do Trump Who You Are?

  We drove at a breakneck speed to get to Fresno to see Nolan.  His wife told us he had gone into a coma but was occasionally lucid enough to recognize a friendly face.  I had known Nolan since we both were 13 years old in Pearl City.  We lived on Hoohaku Street along with … Read moreNolan Mitchell

Yesterday, I was Christmas-busy all day.  And, at the end of the day, I still had 7 things I hadn’t done.   Did I really need to purchase the additional 4 cans of cat food, get gas, stop by Costco to find out about the sale on 4 wheel drive tires, go to the grocery … Read moreWhen Would I Have The Time?

Christianity Today, a bellwether publication of the Evangelicals in the United States, has said that Trump should be removed from office.  The article talks about the trade-offs of supporting Trump versus the gains in areas such as anti-abortion.   It was a deal with the devil.   It is better late than never to find your … Read moreThe Devil Will Have His Due

Andy, a fellow golfer, mentioned to me that CNN was left leaning in its political orientation.  I think it is clear that Fox news is right wing.  That’s without question.  MS-NBC is left leaning, sometimes strongly left leaning.  However, in my opinion MS-NBC is not nearly as far left as Fox is to the Right. … Read moreIt Makes One Wonder

  1)  There is a replacement for Obamacare.  Remember it’s you who is going to lose your medical coverage.  The rich, the Koch brothers, don’t need the medical coverage.  They just don’t want to have to pay taxes. Don’t vote Republican unless you see a detailed plan on what is going to replace it.   … Read moreFrom a Republican, Don’t Vote Republican Unless . . .

  The culture of the United States is a hodge-podge of many disparate cultures that have merged together yielding a wonderful blend that is still, even with the racist behavior of the President and cronies, the envy of the world.   One thing that is ingrained is the inherent kindness, the willingness to give people … Read moreThe Top Cop is Dirty

I agonized as I looked over at the pile of dishes that I had to wash.  Cher, who was my usual savior and, without question, the minted Goddess of doing dishes, went to spend the night at Nola’s house.  Yes, the same Nola that said on numerous occasions that she was big enough to beat … Read moreLife is Fun

  There I was, driving west on Fred Waring Blvd in Palm Springs.  With my white cowboy hat firmly planted on my head, I leaned on the stirrups of my Subaru Outback and came to a stop.  I had been riding fancy that mornin in my Outback, chasing prairie dogs and tumble weed to clear … Read moreHappy Christmas to All, And To All A Good Night
