Nancy Pelosi is a devout Catholic—who will die before she lets you cut one penny from the amount of taxpayer money that is annually sent to America’s Number one abortion mill: Planned Parenthood..The only thing Pelosi is devout about is her personal political power and retaking the majority in the Senate so that her next partisan impeachment will succeed.. The only thing she prays about is keeping the Speakership and getting rid of President Trump by whatever means necessary..She opposes not only Trump but also annoyances like Republican judges, the voters who do not vote Democrat, congresspersons trying to read...

Reader asked if I was okay healthwise because I had not posted here in a while. 1. I have no health problems to speak of. 2. I post almost every day on my Facebook Wall at  https://www.facebook.com/johntreed.publishing. Apparently, a great many readers are proudly, militantly against signing up for Facebook.

We noticed a pattern in our book sales around this time of year back in the 1980s: Sales of the Succeeding book went up..“Oh, people are using it as a Christmas gift.”.I wrote the book for my first son Dan (and later, his two younger brothers). He was entering high school where they start to put stuff in your “permanent record.”.I had made a lot of mistakes and learned a lot about how the world works and doesn’t.
