The country is divided by hatred… — During the past year, I have spoken to quite a few Republicans and MAGA supporters. What surprises me is not how mad they are, but how rational they are. The difference between us is that they believe a lot of things that I don’t. I Let me give you some…

Like all writers, there are some articles I wrote that touch a chord. Here they are. — I’m never sure if my articles are circulated or not. It seems that only those who subscribe to me directly read.

However, all countries are struggling with an overflow of ‘immigrants.’ In a well-functioning state, the systems work. In a failed state, they don’t. …
