3- THE JEWISH PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY DURING THE FIRST HALF OF THE 20th CENTURY, INCLUDING WORLD WAR II, WERE......
a- This historian sometimes has tiny tears when I read about and study the REAL FACTS about what the Jewish people were forced to endure in Europe, especially the horrible deaths of so many in the "HOLOCAUST." When the president of iran blatantly stood up and told the world that the killing fields "HOLOCAUST" never existed....that the Jewish people, Israel, will be destryed? This historian cringed with contempt!
b- And Israel, now, is our strongest ally and supporter of DEMOCRACY! And Israel deserves and MUST be defended...no matter what!...(more)....

2- WHY DON'T WE PUT THOMAS JEFFERSON ON TRIAL, IN ABSTENTIA?.....
As a Virginia historian, this researcher has made a point of reading, collecting, as many TJ books as possible over the years. And even grew up just over the mountain from his famous home, Monticello. Also, as an avid student of history, I do understand fully about NOT comparing different societies, with different eras, as too many try to do.
Now, enough Americans like to slam Jefferson for his lifetime era of having slaves. After a certain book was published about him, 100% claiming that he sired slave children, more food for fodder was thrown in attacking the brilliance of TJ's abilitites, philosophical intelligence and contributions to the creating and build the world's greatest ever DEMOCRACY. Ignorance is one of our country's worse afflictions...and does not have to be.
Jefferson, a product of a much earlier society, did not espouse or persue slavery. If you took the time to delve into his thinking and writings, you would see and understand that he had an inner turmoil over the system that was in place and legal at the time. YOU have lived and experienced American society up to 2008+, far beyond the 1700s and early 1800s. Charge Thomas Jefferson, after the fact, 'post hoc ergo sum', with owning slaves? Ridiculous!

1- HOW WILL WE EVER SURVIVE THE NEXT FOUR YEARS IN OUR AMERICA?....
My first topic: THE BILL OF RIGHTS. Americans must also have a BILL OF RESPONSIBILITIES!
Too many, now, espouse "my rights"....me, me and me! I contend that our U.S. Constitution add, the correct way, a section immediately following called our "Bill of Responsibities" for every one.
a- You have the responsibility of being civil, civility, in our society and with your neighbors!
b- You have a responsibility, as an American, to pay your FAIR taxes!
c- Responsibilities to.....
