American Solutions: It’s Not That Complicated; Part 1

by John July 11, 2016

This is the first of four pieces that outlines the solutions, the problems, and how they are being ignored by our politicians and most of Americans while the country trudges through tough times.  I liken it to a parent whose 4-year-old keeps stealing the keys to car and driving while failing to hide the keys.

Why I’m Golfing and Not Engaging in Presidential Race

by John May 31, 2016

Granted, I have a golf and travel show so I love golf. But when I play golf, I play to be good or to get better. Someone posted a motivating saying: whatever you are, be the best at it. I hope that is me. I try to go low each time. I want to break […]

Trump President for The Computer Age, The Lazy, The Unhealthy?

by John May 4, 2016

(This is another look at the Trump phenomena now that he has nearly wrapped up the GOP nomination. There are logical reasons why he is winning, but there should also be some re-examination of ourselves too.

My 2016 MLB Picks

by John April 3, 2016

Read them and weep. That’s because if I picked your teams they might be destined for horrible season. Cubs’ fans will be sobbing. I call for the end of the Curse of the Goat. My beloved Red Sox are spared. I don’t have them making the playoffs, but the Evil Empire Yankees do. (Is there […]

by John April 1, 2016

Trump and Bernie are not going away. Trump’s gaffes on abortion and women; Bernie’s crankiness about Democratic super delegates are issues. But with the majority of their supporters who are not bending there is something more front and center: their futures and their livelihood. And Trump and Bernie, in different ways, are addressing them. Read […]

Media to Blame for Trump? Really? You Are

by John March 31, 2016

Sure, you can blame the media for Trump. But it is not that simple. Trump supporters will jump all over fast-paced questioner Chris Matthews for tripping up Trump, getting him to say he would prosecute women who get abortions which his campaign quickly walked back. That will seem like supporters backing their guy no matter […]

Trump and Other Politicians Give US Pills for Symptoms, Not Causes

by John March 28, 2016

So many of you are sick of Trump. All my friends and colleagues talk about Trump stomach aches, a case of the Trump trots, or suffering from The Donald Depression. Granted, The Donald’s brand of politics is sickeningly infectious, but our other candidates are carriers too. But we The People are to blame. That’s because […]
