Reflections on Trump's abuse of the pardon power

Greenland: Another Trump pipe dream

npr So Trump’s interested in buying an island. Greenland, no less! But most of its ice; so it’s far from a dry land. His ego is tripping, perhaps, under stress?

Trump wants to dim Lady Liberty's lamp. Another norm torched.

nypost.com The Statue of Liberty, long we’ve been told, Welcomes the poor and those left in the cold. But Trump wants to change it To something quite strange; it Now will invite only those who have gold.

Aquinas wired

I'm Jerry Partacz, happily married to my wife Julie for over 40 years. I have four children and eleven grandchildren. I'm enjoying retirement after 38 years of teaching. I now have an opportunity to share my thoughts on many things. I'm an incurable optimist. I also love to solve crossword puzzles and to write light verse. I love to read, to garden, to play the piano, to collect stamps and coins, and to watch "Curb Your Enthusiasm".
