It is very difficult to see anything reasonable or rational in the twice monthly conducted so called debates between ambitious men and a woman claiming to be Republicans as they are aiming to become the next President of the United States of America. In fact, in September 2011, there were three such spectacles, on the [...]

It totally fails any logic whatsoever when one hears that anybody serious about America and its future still believes or wants to believe what President Barack Obama says and does. He has been on both sides of all issues since he first announced running for the highest office in the land until now. Take any [...]

One decision we made before going on a nearly three week long vacation in Germany was to completely block out all media. Not to read any newspapers, not to watch television nor listening to radio. That turned out to be one of the best decisions we made. It was so wonderful to get out of [...]

Is it not amazing to watch a recent Nobel Peace Prize winner jubilate over the killing of a world renown terrorist? We do not have to repeat what happened on May 1, everybody knows it.
