Dick Hubert’s Worldview: A ‘hair on fire’ moment for me and the majority of Americans
Have you heard of Project 2025? I try to keep up with news and events and political developments, but I confess Project 2025 (www.project2025.org) was not on my list of news alerts until last week, when a rather alarmed friend e-mailed me to get my take on it.

Letter: Ways for Dems to provide arms to Ukraine and Odessa bombing kills five children
The Ukrainian army is on a tight artillery ration. Because as you know, the collapsed Soviet Union Budapest Memorandum made industrial Donbass a war zone since 2014. Republicans with Democrats are arguing amongst each other; Europe is cowardly trying to avoid upsetting evil Putin.

Letter: The dangers of Trump, his lies and extremists
People who don’t follow national politics closely need to know: the 2024 presidential election will not be the typical Republicans vs. Democrats contest.

Letter: On Biden and the judiciary

Dick Hubert’s Worldview: Reflections on paradise lost in Hawaii—and other threats
Here’s why I am sad after returning from Hawaii for a brief vacation there—thanks to a round-trip cruise from San Diego.
