Time has a way of passing. No matter what happens in our lives, time continues one second at a time.

My columns avoid taking extreme partisan positions on issues. I have a business- conservative philosophy that is not ultra anything.

Russia has always been an enigma. More so now than ever.

I am really confused about what’s going on in this country today. At one time, the conventional wisdom was that the Democrats were for the blue-collar working man, and the Republicans were for upper crust elites.
