The Mayflower Compact
IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—–
“We the People”
"We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

“The Ten Cannots”
1. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. 2. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. 3. You cannot help little men by tearing down big men. 4. You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. 5. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. 6. You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money. 7. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. 8. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn. 9. You cannot build character and courage by destroying men's initiative and independence. 10. And you cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they can and should do for themselves.

COVID Collateral…
For starters, I’m not a virus denier, but rather a type 1 diabetic who’s just as apprehensive as anyone concerning COVID 19. But I’m also a common sense numbers guy, re-assured by a very capable and notable physician who tells … Continue reading

Painful but true…
I suppose the question of, (was it too soon for Astrophysicist Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson to tweet out his “painful take” on the shootings in El Paso and Dayton) is a valid one. Nevertheless, the near immediate and reprehensible Democrat … Continue reading
Do you know why you’re celebrating???
I suspect that if you queried many folks along the parade route in downtown Bristol, Rhode Island during the nation’s oldest Independence Day parade and asked them to recite the second and most consequential line of the (Declaration of Independence), … Continue reading
Counsel gone rogue…
Former Special Counsel Robert Mueller is a decorated war hero who also received the Purple Heart after being shot in Vietnam. He’s a registered Republican who promoted the WMD hypothesis to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, which we now … Continue reading
The Devaluation of Humanity…
I stood clear of the abortion debate when I was younger, as folks very close to me identified with the “choice” side of the argument and I elected not to engage them. I should’ve been more vocal about the truth. … Continue reading
What would JFK do???
When I was growing up, I always thought Democrats were supposed to be champions of the little guy and defenders of humanity. I remember idolizing our martyred 35th president and wondering why my dad hated Democrats so much. Well, like … Continue reading
“Hate corrodes the vessel which carries it”…
Former Wyoming Senator Alan Simpson spoke graciously and with loving admiration, about the friend he had in the 41st President of the United States, accurately portraying a lifetime of service, honor and integrity. It was all the more poignant against … Continue reading
A perilous road ahead…
The soul of our nation is in peril and decent law-abiding Americans are needed in November to rescue it. All that is right about this republic is under assault by forces loosed during eight years of an ideologically driven president. … Continue reading

In this time of ignorance, when our true heritage, gifted to us by the sacrifice of so many who put cause before self is under assault, we pause to take measure of the cost of freedom. Looking around our great … Continue reading
Hard Truth…
Looking on the unimaginable horror which unfolded in Broward County on Wednesday, it’s human nature to want answers. But those answers must be the correct ones. They mustn’t be feel good answers, fed to us by ideology driven politicians with … Continue reading
The culpability of the news media…
If you’re a student of American History, (and you should be), you would understand that the free press in our country have been active participants in the political discourse even before and as the United States was founded. You would … Continue reading
All of their tomorrows for our today’s…
This Memorial Day seems different. Everything appears turned upside down. We have a disgraced former Secretary of State and former presidential candidate preaching “truth and reason”, when she herself has set a new high bar in terms of probable and … Continue reading
Rhode Island embarrassed again…
Why am I not surprised, that Senator Sheldon Whitehouse and at least a half-dozen other Democrats on Capitol Hill met with Sergey Kislyak? And why am I even less surprised that the ambassador was a frequent visitor to the Obama … Continue reading
It has come to this…
My political views are no secret. And they can be a source of some contentious debate at times. That said, a co-worker recently “joked” the other day, asking if it were I who’d purchased Hitler’s phone at auction recently. Now … Continue reading
American teamwork, a thing of the past???
I remember how I felt that clear September morning when I heard the news, and how I had to console my visibly shaken wife that night as we watched the horror of 9/11 unfold on the news. But I also … Continue reading
Serious sour grapes…
So the illustrious senator from Rhode Island decided to write an open letter to the President-Elect. This is my quick response. Open letter to Senator Sheldon Whitehouse: Senator, I recently read your letter to President-Elect Trump and much of the … Continue reading
Look in the mirror Lefties…
It’s no surprise “The New York Times” has ceased to be an objective source for today’s news, if it ever really was one to begin with. A recent story in the paper (10/27) by Ashley Parker and Nick Corasaniti only … Continue reading
Big picture politics…
November 8th will surely be one for the history books. Truth be told, it’s more a macro election as opposed to one of specifics. The 2016 Presidential contest is pivotal because of its national direction implications, and not necessarily the … Continue reading
“Me thinks thou dost protest too much”…
It’s 2016, and our nation is wounded yet again by racial division. Only this time it appears to be political in its origins. To be sure, this country has seen its share of racial tension. Great men like Martin Luther … Continue reading
Never forget???
Well, it seems we may have done just that. It’s been 15 years since the worst terrorist attack in our nation’s history unfolded in the skies over Long Island, Washington DC, and Shanksville PA. Nearly 3000 people were murdered, with … Continue reading
Willful ignorance or just poor judgment…
On the one hand, Donald Trump clearly evokes an emotional response from the folks, both good and bad. Basically, he’s a really rich guy who wants to add the mantle of President of these United States to his résumé. As … Continue reading
The Hillary Factor…
I suppose one could ask the question this election cycle: “Are we better off now than we were eight years ago”? These days, the answer you’d receive would likely depend the respondent’s ideological leanings. Nevertheless, I would rephrase the question … Continue reading
These are the times…
As we are witnessing primary campaigns unprecedented in American history, I feel somewhat compelled to evaluate our current posture, if only for my own sanity… On the Republican side, front runner and bombastic businessman Donald Trump is clearly a media … Continue reading

I’ve had to listen to my fair share of die-hard Libs in my home state of Rhode Island tell me about how smart Hillary Clinton is, and how we’d be doing our children a great dis-service if we missed the … Continue reading
RIP Mayor… You were truly one of a kind…
It seems no matter how many times we mark the passing of a prominent political figure, there’s always one politician who allows their personal/political bias and/or just plain ignorance to get in the way of basic respect and decorum. The … Continue reading
And the print media is no exception…
It’s ironic, that on the day the POTUS will likely misrepresent the issue of firearms and the Second Amendment in his final “State of the Union” address to the Congress and the American people, so then does the PROJO plaster … Continue reading

Our nation seems a dream of that which I remember growing up. Nothing was perfect to be sure. But that is as we know, an unrealistic expectation. I would ask though, where have our parent’s dreams gone? How did we … Continue reading
