  • Pavarotti – Nessun dorma

    Luciano Pavarotti (12 October 1935 – 6 September 2007) was an Italian operatic tenor who during the late part of his career crossed over into popular music, eventually becoming one of the most acclaimed and loved tenors of all time. He made numerous recordings of complete operas and individual arias, gaining worldwide fame for his tone,…

  • The Righteous Brothers

    The soul group The Righteous Brothers is my favorite group/duo from the 1960s. Dubbed “blue-eyed soul”, their music touched millions and still does to this day. Known for their passionate soul music featuring fantastic harmonizing between Bobby Hatfield (blond hair) who was a countertenor and Bill Medley (dark hair) who is a bass/baritone. Sadly, Bobby…

  • American bio labs in Ukraine

    It seems America has been conducting biological warfare research, under direct management by the Pentagon, in Ukraine. So it is even more evidence that Russia has valid reasons for being concerned about Western meddling in Ukraine! According to a senior Department of Defense official, the US has spent $200 million on these labs in Ukraine…

  • Lighting a powder keg

    According to recent reports, America and NATO continue sending hundreds of millions of dollars of military AID to Ukraine ($350 million from America alone) including anti-tank missiles, anti-aircraft missiles, bombs, and other weapons. This is utterly reckless and stupid! More people will die as a result of these weapons, more Russians will die and it…

  • Mental illness and America

    Sadly, in our American society, even though it’s the 21st century, there is still a strong and harsh stigma for people suffering from mental illness. In the minds of many people the mentally ill are freaks, perverts, are very dangerous, and they feel the mentally ill should be locked away in mental hospitals to “protect”…

  • Men left behind

    Men have fallen way behind women for college/university attendance and graduation rates. This has been a 40-year trend. Men are abandoning higher education in such numbers that they now trail female college students by record levels. At the close of the 2020-21 academic year, women made up 59.5% of college students, an all-time high, and…

  • Communist takeover of America

    The unfairly maligned US Senator Joseph R. McCarthy was prescient in his vision of communist infiltration and eventual takeover of America in the early 1950s. He saw the problem primarily in the entertainment industry, the state department, and even the army (see more on this below), but the real seeds of destruction, in my view,…

  • Abortion Deconstructed

    Since January 22, 1973, the Supreme Court decision in the matter of Roe v. Wade found in favor of the “Jane Roe” (Norma McCorvey), who was seeking an abortion in Texas. The Supreme Court ruled that a woman’s “right” to an abortion was a constitutional right. Even though the US Consitution explicitly affirms the right…

  • Biggest blizzards in Pittsburgh in my life so far

    So far, in my life, I’ve witnessed 3 epic blizzards. I was 3 years old. It was January 1978. A huge blizzard, dubbed The Great Blizzard of 1978, dumped 27 inches of snow between January 22 and 24. I recall the snow was above my head when we opened the front door on Meadowbrook Blvd.…

  • Super Bowl Shame

    Super Bowl LVI was held on February 13th, 2022 between the Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals. The Rams won by 3 points (23-20). But that’s not what I’m going to talk about in this article. I wish to discuss the Super Bowl Halftime Show which is held after the 2nd quarter ends. The…
