Kelley and I went to see the movie Reagan (based on Paul Kengor's book) this weekend. Well worth your time. The movie brought back many memories. I was in Kansas City in 1976, at age 13, when my dad led the Texas delegates for Reagan…

The movie's depiction of Reagan and Gorbachev reminded me of the hour I spent with Gorbachev in 2018.

I asked Gorbachev how he came to realize the need for nuclear arms control.

Gorbachev replied that as a young military man the army had him watch a depiction of what earth would look like after a nuclear war.

He remembered clasping his cheeks and saying: "Oh my God!" "Even though I don't believe in God," he added…

Nowadays neocons on the Right want to wear the Reagan mantle, but they selectively leave out Reagan's willingness to negotiate a reduction (and eventual elimination) of nuclear weapons.

Matthew 19:17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
