Donald Trump’s antics, dishonesty, loyalty tests: Repeated paths

Principio et finem similaria. The beginning and the end are the same. So it was for the presidency of one Donald J. Trump, racist, misogynist, narcissist, egotist, paranoiac, and pathological liar. From the beginning of his tenure, I have referred to him in my personal journal as “T. Rump.” That’s...

In a recent essay, I sourced an actual biblical scholar for my information. In his rebuttal, Mr. Gerald Lubshina sourced a writer for The Chicago Tribune. Wow! Game, set, and match! Don’t be a sore loser such as Donald J. Trump, Chas! The Tribune writer claimed to have been an...

Jesus existed: Case cited

December 18, 2021Dear editor; I often enjoy Charles Coddington’s writings, but I just had to answer his fantasies about the origins of Christianity in The Voice December 3 (https://thevoice.us/historical-context-explicated-of-evangelical-christians) and 17 (https://thevoice.us/birth-death-miracle-of-jesus-some-facts-examined). There is no evidence that Saul of Tarsus was a Zealot. I believe Chas wrote the articles to...

Birth, death, miracle of Jesus, some facts examined

In the previous essay, we examined the biblical character of Jesus of Nazareth as a mythical one. Now, let us suppose that he was an historical figure. Most biblical scholars agree that Jesus, Yeshua/Joshua in Hebrew, was most likely a member of the Essene sect. The Essenes were a splinter...

Plant-based food, not ‘Frankenmeat’

By Charles CoddingtonAurora In the November 19 issue of The Voice, Jon Hochschartner pushed the idea of cultured meat created in a laboratory in order to remove animals, and the zoonotic diseases, such as COVID-19, they carry, from the equation of food sourcing (thevoice.us/federal-funds-would-help-cultured-meats). He called for Federal funding for...

Personal messages on the transition to U.S. presidency

Ding-dong! The Wicked Witch is dead! Well, not exactly a witch, per se, but you get the idea, dear reader. It was definitely an ogre, however, who has been eating our bones for the past four years. We still have to put up with the ogre for another two months,...

Circumstances continue to support importance of High Court

You are reading this essay, dear reader, shortly after the presidential election. Because of problems concerning who gets to vote and how they get to vote, the results of the election may not be known yet. And there is the possibility that our accidental president will challenge the results if...

Dichotomous Man indifferent, addicted, to social media

From the vault, March 30, 1998 (revised): Are you ready for the coming of the Dichotomous Man, dear reader? He is among us, hiding in plain sight; but we have not recognized him as such, because he looks just like us. But he doesn’t think like us, and that is...

‘Continuation’ concerns include purging of real voter rolls

Readers may recall that in my August 29, 2019 article, I engaged in a bit of speculation concerning the upcoming November 3 presidential election and what our accidental president, Donald Trump, might do if he lost it. In fact, I posited two scenarios, both equally scary. My speculations have taken...

Expiration dates on food in grocery stores arbitrary

From the vault, April 28, 2016 (revised): Some time ago, I read an article on the internet about families who went grocery-shopping, not at a supermarket but at the dumpster behind the supermarket. They picked out all of the packaged goods which had been discarded after the use by date...

Partisan race for presidency shifts into high gear

The Democratic Party and Republican Party conventions are history. And we the people are yet again presented with a choice between the lesser of two evils. Neither of the nominees had a challenger on the floor; they had secured enough primary delegates early on. It is how the two major...

Tear it down, however, with a fitting plan, thoughtfulness

Tear it down! That seems to be the rallying cry across these United States (or is it these “Untied States”?) in a loud and clear voice against white supremacy. Most of the action is taking place east of the Mississippi River where white supremacy once held sway in the Southeast....
