THERE ARE TRUTHS IN OUR WORLD THAT CANNOT BE IGNORED:
I Feel A Need To Get Some Of This Off My Chest.
We are Swamped Every Day with Fake News, Conspiracy Theories, Exaggerations, False Endorsement Claims & Facts that are Both Misleading & Simply Untrue, Especially in Today’s World of Mass Media, the Internet & Now AI.
The Following Are Some Untruths That Get Under My Skin.
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ARE NOT UNDOCUMENTED – THEY ARE ILLEGAL:
Illegal Is A Simple Word. It Denotes an Act that is Above & Beyond What is an Accepted Norm in the Law, that if Proven, is Punishable by a Myriad of Penalties.
So When the LEFT Says Not to Call People who Enter the Country Illegally – Illegals, What Should They Be Called? The LEFT Insists on Calling these People Undocumented . . . But What Does That Mean? Even if the People who Enter the Country are Documented . . . How Does That Make Documented People Who Entered The Country Illegally – Less Illegal?
Don’t Get Conned By Word Manipulation . . . Call Them For What They Are.
AMERICA IS A REPUBLIC . . . DEMOCRACY IS JUST ONE VOTING FACET:
Not Just The LEFT, but Americans Across the Entire Political Spectrum Call America a Democracy. It Is A Democracy . . . But Only Because America is a Constitutional Republic, That In Written Documents . . . Guarantees Unalienable Rights that Cannot be Revoked by the Democratic Process, where a Majority Can Strip Away the Rights of a Minority.
I Will Remind Everyone Again . . . Hitler Became Chancellor Of Germany Through The Democratic Process. And through the German Democratic Process, Hitler was Responsible for the Worst Global Genocide Known to Humanity.
A WOMAN CAN’T BE A BIT PREGNANT ANY MORE THAN A MAN CAN BE A WOMAN:
Although there are Extremely Rare Instances Called Genetic Disorders, which Play Fast & Loose with the Genetic Chromosome Structure in a Very Small Degree of People, which Legitimately Creates Gender Confusion, that Makes Some People Neither Male Nor Female as we Know-It . . .
However . . . There is a Much More Prevalent Condition Called Gender Dysphoria, which is a Psychological Condition that Creates the Feeling in Some People that they are More Comfortable in the Skin of the Alternate Gender, or Perhaps Equally Comfortable in Each Gender . . . But Being Gay, Bi-Sexual, Or Whatever – Does Not Rise To The Level Of Being The Gender You Were Not Born-To.
Chromosomes Are A Funny Thing – XX You’re Female . . . XY You’re Male – Discussion Closed.
ISRAEL IS EITHER FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA – OR HISTORY TELLS LIES:
You Don’t Have To Be Religious, Jewish, Christian, Moslem – Etc, to Study & Understand the Hard Cold Facts of Archeology, which is the History of World Development in a Nutshell.
Maybe King David Didn’t Really Kill A Giant Known As Goliath. Maybe Moses Never Really Parted the Red Sea as the Story Goes. Maybe Jesus was Not the Jewish Messiah Born from the Loin of God (Immaculate Conception) . . . But There is No Shortage of Hard Physical Evidence that Points Inextricably to the Fact . . . That These Things In One Way Or Another Did Happen . . .
Perhaps Not Exactly The Way Events Might Have Really Happened, But Happen They Did.
ARCHEOLOGY DOES NOT LIE:
There Is No Absence Of Information That Countervails The History Of The Jews, from the Time of King David, Almost 3,500-Years Ago – to Suggest that the Jewish People were Not in Residence & Control of the Nation we Know as Israel.
THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A COUNTRY CALLED PALESTINE:
There Is No Archeological History Of A Country Called Palestine. There is no History of any Political Force Before the Creation of a People Called Palestinians, Before the Reclamation of Israel, in a Geographical Part of the Defeated Ottoman Empire Known as the Region of Palestine.
And there is No Historical Name that is Associated with the Leadership of the Non-Existent Palestinian People in the Non-Existent Country Called Palestine.
WHERE TO NEGOTIATE WITH PEOPLE WHO SLAUGHTER HUMANITY:
The World, with the Exception of the United States of America and a Few Other Less Consequential Countries Want Israel to Hand the Hamas Palestinians a Massive Victory as their Reward for the Worst Massacre of Jews (October 7, 2023) Since the Holocaust . . . By Not Devastating Hamas.
The Palestinians Known As Hamas . . . Deserve Death, Prison or Exile for the Bestial Slaughter they Inflicted on Mostly Jewish Israeli Men, Women & Children at Sleep and at Play. What these Palestinian-Hamas Savages Did to Innocent Undefended People was Indescribable in their Total Lack of Humanity.
There Is No Acceptable Settlement To End The War The Palestinians Started . . . Other than Hamas’ Total Defeat, and the Consequences to the Palestinian People who Celebrated, As Their Savage “Heroes” Dragged the Brutalized (Naked) Jewish Bodies through the Streets of Gaza.
SOCIALISM – THE PRECURSOR OF COMMUNISM – THE EPITOME OF TYRANNY:
There Is No Such Thing As Being Both Democratic & A Socialist. It Is One Thing Or The Other.
Being Democratic in the Sense People throughout North America Understand, Means Being Free to Make your Own Decisions with the Fruit of your Own Labor. Being a Socialist in the True Meaning, Means Taking Away from One to Give to the Other, Whether It Is Goods Or Services.
The Moment We Accept The Principle Of Socialism, as Bernie Sanders, AOC, Mamdani – Etc Portray Socialism . . . as Being a Benign Redistribution of Wealth . . . We Know Where It Begins – And We Have A Good Idea Where It Ends.
Where Is It Democratic To Take From Peter To Give To Paul Without Peter’s Permission?
IN GLOBAL POLITICS . . . THE GOOD GUYS FINISH LAST:
The Right Man . . . For The Right Time . . . For The Right Job.
You Know My Opinions Vis-À-Vis Donald Trump . . . Trump is No Boy Scout. And I Would be Shocked to Learn if He Ever Sang in a Church Choir. Trump is a Bare-Knuckled Two-Fisted Back Alley Street Fighter . . . New York City Developer.
We Live In A Tough World, Where the Sharks Swim Amongst the Guppies. And if we the Guppies are Going to Survive Economically, Socially & Militarily – We Better Have The Biggest & Meanest Shark Swimming On Our Side.
Thus Far . . . Trump Has Done Fabulous For America, Jews, Israel & NATO.
LET TRUMP TARIFF CANADA ‘TIL THE COWS COME HOME – WITH NO RETRIBUTION:
If Trump Wants To Add A 50% Tariff On Canadian Products . . . So Be-It.
Let Me Tell You What Trump Tariffs Do To Canada – It Forces Canada to Find New Markets. It Forces Canada to De-Regulate. It Forces Canada to Begin the Needed Construction of Serious Infrastructure Projects Like New Pipelines, More Drilling, the Construction of Refineries & Perhaps Most of All . . . To Ditch Canadian Cross Provincial Border Trade Restrictions, As If Canada Was 10-Mini Countries With Three Territories.
EITHER CANADA IS A UNITED REAL COUNTRY – OR CANADA IS NOT:
Trump Tariffs Hurt Americans. Since Canada Doesn’t Pay the Tariff – The American Importer Pays the Tariff, which Eventually Gets Passed Along to the American Consumer.
Should Canada Retaliate With Matching Tariffs Against America? – Definitely Not!
BASICALLY, TARIFFS ARE A CONSUMER TAX:
I Happen To Like Paying Cheaper Prices. And if We Countervailed the American Tariffs with our Own Tariffs, Guess Who Gets To Pay?
Americans who are Happy with the Way Trump’s Tariffs are Going, and the BILLIONS of Dollars which the US Government is Raking-In as a Result . . . Know This – The Billions of Dollars Flowing Into America’s Coffers are American Dollars Collected from American Importers.
At One Point . . . American Consumers Will Pay The Price, since the 50% Tariffs on Steel & Aluminum, which are Two Seriously Needed Commodities by American Industries, will Up the Costs of Everything from the Auto Industry to Simple Household Appliances, Same As Many Products Like Soft-Wood Lumber.
Please Understand This . . . Tariffs are a Tax on the Consumer, Whether the Consumers are the Importers, Distributors, Wholesalers & Inevitably the Retailers . . . So I Don’t Want To Be Tariffed By My Own Government.
I Figure In The Long Run . . . America & Canada Will Work It Out, Or They Won’t.
In The Meantime . . . If Trump’s Bully-Boy Strategy Forces Canada to Get Off its Ass & Start to Behave Like a Real Country that Doesn’t Want to be a Guppy . . .
. . . That In Itself Will Be A Big Win For The Great White North.
Best Regards . . . Howard Galganov

A great article. I found more facts and less trash talking a great way to make a point and encourage others to think. Thanks
I agree with just about everything you said, Howard. But the purpose of the tariffs is to force American corporations to bring back the manufacturing that they had exported to China, Indonesia and other low labor cost countries. In the meantime, Americans will become more aware of where the stuff they buy is made. I think Trump’s goal is to attain a different way to finance the government and do away with the totally illegal and hated income tax. All my speculation, of course.
I can’t disagree with one word of this article. I say blessings everyday that we have a fighter like President Trump. Many say they don’t like how he talks, too bad, he talks like a truth teller not a politician. Not since Regan have I trusted any President that followed until DJT. Yes he’s rough at times, big deal, grow up. I pray the Jewish population in NY stop electing DemocRATS and not vote for the liar Mandami. Thank you Howard for this great editorial.
My thoughts. The US is a Democratic Country with some Socialists. The US generally has not accepted the Principle of Socialism. Canada is a Socialist Country with some Democratic Provinces that vote UCP. We pay 46% of our income as some form of tax! Big difference!
So many topics. So many Truths. With each and every one an absolute bullseye. Now I am pumped and ready to face the day.
Great point on Constitutional Republic vs Democracy. These two term get interchanged. You’re being led down a rugged path on tariffs. Producers are currently incurring a large portion of the tariffs at present. The producer is always at disadvantage in a free market. The US will find other producers. Chinaaaaa is a current and great example. Canada has it easy due to being our neighbor. CAN will have to seek distant partners at an increased cost. Competition! What a great invention.
Very well said… Excellent!
The bizarreness of Mamdani as potential mayor is how soon this would be after De Blasio ruined the city. Talk about short memories. The only positive thing about this “Social Democrat” (talk about an oxymoron) movement is that it may lead to the overdue ouster of NY Senator Chuck Schumer as divine punishment for his active role in the recent attempt by the Biden administration to affect “regime change” in Israel by ousting Netanyahu from power. Never to be forgiven for that speech in Congres
Shalom. I do think you need to study the Tanakh and the Continued Scriptures. There is no reason to doubt it’s writings. G-d said it and His prophets were instructed to write it. Written law. Not a so-called oral law passed by humans to humans putting their spin on His Word but His law in writing by His prophets. That said, Great column.
Howard this is just like Quebec the Prov. of the racist government who has really made speaking English unlawful and very hard to talk to the prov. government in English. We the unwashed Non-French are not accepted IN THIS RACIST PROVINCE OF QUEBEC.
And the Lord said, “Let there be truth,” and along came Howard Galganov, truth-seeker and truth-teller extraordinaire. There is absolutely no substitute for the truth, though a seemingly bottomless pit of vipers known as politicians endlessly try to stretch it and twist it to satisfy their unquenchable thirst for power. Howard Galganov gets it, like few others. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to Mr. G. for having the guts to tell it like it is.
Kudos to Barry Jackson!!
Howard, great article! I agree tariffs act as a consumer tax, but there are offsets like lower energy costs and reduced income taxes. While increases in steel and aluminum will affect durable goods like appliances and vehicles, these costs aren’t as essential as food, which is a daily necessity. Tariffs, in this case, are more targeted and don’t have the same widespread impact as something like food prices. Overall, they’re a more nuanced tool than they might appear.
Great again Howard! With WEF Carney and Freeland in governed Canada. We are in deep trouble! Canada will be ruin!
Howard, You are a world leader in thinking, understanding, and stating clearly! Too bad you are not in charge of a free country. I for one, would vote for you in a New York minute! We all need you. Keep up with this most provocative and stimulating commentary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God Bless and keep you and Anne and ‘the boys’.
Well said here: “Trump is a Bare-Knuckled Two-Fisted Back Alley Street Fighter . . . New York City Developer.” At last someone to hit the leftists back instead of just taking the insults. 2nd, The Trump tariffs are reciprocal toward our trade partners, not protectionist. If Canada, Japan, The E.U. etc. want lower tariffs they should lower their tariffs on U.S. goods. The rest of the article? Excellent!
Wow! I read all your articles and the comments. Howard, frame this one.. Everything you said was spot on but the comments were fantastic. Your audience really loved this one. Kudos to you and them.
EXACTLY Howard!
Same old, Same old, Canadian provinces still squabble. If Carney will step forward and show some leadership power maybe somethings may get done, oh oh we need another meeting, first must be indigenous,, for delay, next must be more indigenous, then take a holiday, reconvene and start over, SAME OLD, SAME OLD, …………………………..
Way back in 1983, Bob Dylan wrote a song about Israel and Anti-Semitism. It’s called “Neighborhood Bully” ~ and here’s one of the eleven verses: “The Neighborhood Bully, He Just Lives To Survive. He’s Criticized And Condemned For Just Being Alive. He’s Not Supposed To Fight Back, He’s Supposed To Have Thick Skin. He’s Supposed To Lay Down And Die When His Door Is Kicked In. He’s The Neighborhood Bully.” – Bob Dylan (“Infidels” album / rel 1983)
Here’s another opinion piece that can easily be proved factual. These are truths that the world needs to be made to read and hear. And if we all listen and read these truths, the world will be a safer, happier place. Thanks for being a consummate truthteller.
