Now that Brett Kavanaugh has been given a lifetime seat on the Supreme Court, I want to address the route of the problem destroying America. The route of the problem isn’t political polarization (as many say). The route of the problem is the failing of our system of government. The reality is that an ever-shrinking… Continue reading America’s Political System is Failing

Debunking Arguments in Support of Kavanaugh
Now that Kavanaugh has been confirmed, this post doesn’t have much value. Still, I think it’s worth publishing the truth. Below are a few of the arguments advanced by Kavanaugh supporters and my rebuttals.
Personal Update for October 5, 2018
This will be a quick update. It has rained all day and Kavanaugh’s looming confirmation to the Supreme Court has got me in a bit of a bad mood. I wish I was surprised by the shameful conduct of Senate Republicans, but I’m not.

Reviewing The Mark of the Assassin
Daniel Silva’s The Mark of the assassinwas a solid read, but I expected more. Michael and Elizabeth Osbourne were good characters but the parts of the book dealing with their relationship didn’t seem authentic. Also, the politics involved in the story were too cynical–even for me.
An Idea for Christine Blasey Ford
