Can some so called leader in the still free western world please place on billion dollar bitcoin bounty on Putin…and can some so called leader in Washington please step up and articulate articles for impeachment, removal and arrest of the psycho killer mobster in the Bada Bing, I mean Oval Office. Ukrainians are still under existential threat because of a corrupt President of the United States who literally dreams of erecting a Trump Kremlin Hotel and Casino in downtown Moscow…like the builder he is..as I do not hesitate to point out to any diehard Trumper Gorilla Glue sniffer in my midst. God help U.S.! We the Living in Idiocracy. Gotta run on. Thanks for taking my rant Onward and Upward. Peace through superior mental firepower.

“I have several friends and family members who are Trump devotees, and they will not hear or believe a word against him.”

I won’t listen to a word in his favor, so maybe I’m just as bad. Seriously, I keep waiting to hear a well reasoned steel man argument justifying forcing Ukraine to accept a Russian hegemony. I’m still waiting.

Thank you, once again, my friend, and all the Blessings of this Season to you and yours.

Let us pray for those good people who suffer in this age from oppression of every kind,

and for those "good people" whose opinions blind them to the truth.

Samuel Butler wrote the obstinacy quote, apparently.

Mr. Nordlinger, it is said that a man may be known by the company he keeps. Based on the evidence of your writing and those whom you write about, you are a great and good man. I hope to continue reading your writing for many more years. Happy New Year to you and yours from the Big Bend of the Rio Grande in Far West Texas!

That is why I keep harping that Jay needs to write a book on some of the great men he has known. Each gets a chapter kind of like Paul Johnson's Intellectuals. Of course unlike Johnson's book these would be positive profiles.
