NOTE: The following discussions contain some strong opinions. If you don't want to read controversial, personal opinions, please do not read on. I do not like "knee-jerk" liberal or conservative philosophies. I try to be open-minded, but certainly have my own biases. I hate "political correctness" and tend to overreact against those who practice it. - Bill McArthur, aka Hungry Mother (hungrymother) and Computing Doc (computingdoc).

   I have tried not to dwell on the way that my Republican Party has mutated into a racist, misogynist, group of sycophants, kissing the ass of a misinformed, unpatriotic, unqualified tyrant who holds the nation's highest office. My father, Barry Goldwater, Ronald Reagan, and John McCain are rolling in their graves. I'm afraid that the time not to dwell has passed, due to the omnipresent news media and the twitter-verse, not to mention the impending doom for this country. It looks like the Republicans in the Senate will block his well-deserved impeachment.

   Unfortunately, most of the alternatives in the Democratic slate of candidates are unreasonably radical leftists that want to take my private insurance, which I worked 30 years to earn and which is my Medicare Part B in addition to pharmacy and major medical coverage. I like Pete Buttigieg for his character and most of his beliefs. I read his book, Shortest Way Home, and like his honesty, erudition, service as a veteran, and his hopefulness. My wife Cathy and I have contributed money to his campaign, and will do more to support him in the Democratic Primary.

   What I would really like would be for a moderate Republican to run against the current president.

   I am trying to learn more about Scotland and Clan Arthur before our trip this summer. I joined Clan Arthur US and hope that they will help me learn more about our history. I had a long talk yesterday evening with our neighbor Bill McCleary which gave me some new insights. I've been learning from "Outlander" on Starz as well.

   I finally got frustrated enough with Windows products to buy an Apple MacBook Pro. It cost 10 times as much as a Dell running Windows 10, but I think I will be happy with my decision.
