The Zelensky Debacle: Why Character Matters
Last night President Trump made his triumphant return to speak to a joint session of Congress. The speech was combative, visionary, moving, and the longest ever by a sitting president (one hour and forty minutes).
After the dust-up in the Oval Office four days before with the president of Ukraine, President Trump told the nation he “appreciated” a letter he’d received from President Zelensky indicating he was ready to work under Trump’s “strong leadership” to achieve a lasting peace.
That’s a good first step. Zelensky’s behavior last week was “absolute idiocy” to quote a Ukrainian MP.

Memorial Day 2024: The Bravest Boehme

The person I think about most on Memorial Day is my Uncle Dick whom I’ll have the privilege of meeting in heaven. He died near the end of WWII in 1945.
He was the bravest Boehme. Read More
