Clinton’s “Wall” and 9/11

Posted on January 5, 2018 by Mike

I’ve struggled to write a book on the real reasons 9/11 happened – other than the obvious intent of the terrorists- since I finally read the voluminous 9/11 Commission Report a few years ago. It’s given me nightmares’ When my … Continue reading →

Refugee Children – America’s Hypocrisy

Israel’s War with Hamas – Some Truth

Posted on August 2, 2014 by Mike

Jacqueline O’Connor’s anti-Semitic vitriol would make any Nazi or KKK member proud. But like most rabid bigots, her basic assumptions are patently false beginning with “Israel displacing Palestineans.” James Michener (and others) debunked that myth many decades ago in his … Continue reading →
