A few words, then over to Charles Blow.

COMMENTS, CONSIDERATIONS, QUESTIONS

By Kenneth Bagnell

Barbara and I are on our winter break in the south. We read The New York Times daily. I trust its ethics and its credibility. This morning – 50 days after the Trump victory – it ran a column by Chares Blow, an established and respected member of its staff. I read it and decided to distribute it to all recipients of my blog. I have but one point to mention before you read it: exit polls on election day revealed that 80 percent of white evangelicals voted for Trump. As you know they were   urged to do so by one of the leading evangelicals of the US, the son of its most famous evangelist, Billy Graham. Keep that in mind as you read the Charles Blow column on today’s op-ed page (link below) of the respected New York Times. Trump’s dreadful accusation that Barack Obama tapped his phone is both outrageous and false but he gets away with it. Now fourteen million people are to be excluded from the oncoming Trump medical care program. It will, in numerical terms, get worse and worse over the years. I intend to explore how this dreadful program had strong, almost virtually full support from the American Evangelical Community whose key champion is the son of Billy Graham. No wonder I thought I saw one of CNN’s hosts close to tears as he began signing off and tossing his pencil to the air.
