Michele Bachmann, a tax attorney, and mother of about a dozen, presidential, who made the point of Adams fighting to extinguish slavery ‘tirelessly’, and although he did not succeed, represents one...

There’s a good argument for a vigorous debate, informed with present facts here and now. It is perhaps also part of the proof of Game Theory’s: If you do not confront immediately your accuser, you will lose the game.

For 85 years the shift was 9 miles northeastern, and then in 1989, a 600 percent increase to 35 miles shifted to an easterly direction. So much for ‘gradual’ change. Why? My speculation is that pulling...

Making wine from water, Jesus’s first reported miracle at his cousin’s wedding. Wine making is considered by the French, at least in the memorial I noticed near the road of a vineyard in Mercury, France… when we visited there in 1989, as a holy endeavor, and certainly, the last supper’s request to consider the red wine as Jesus’s...
