I hope this blog will be the product of a diverse group of Americans who are concerned about the future of our country. It is dedicated to protecting all those things that make our country as great as it is. It will oppose anything that erodes our basic principles and values.
Who am I? I am Alan Zendell. I am 76 years old, and I live with my wife in Maryland for eight months of each year and in Florida for four. I have degrees in Physics (Columbia), Aerospace Engineering (Cornell), and four years of graduate training in Operations Research and Decision Theory (George Washington U). I spend my retirement tutoring high school age students in mathematics. I have published eight books: five novels, a memoir, an anthology, and a monograph on gravitational fields.
I am neither an ideologue nor a political activist, nor am I in the pay of any lobbyist or organized group, and neither are any of the other contributors who will introduce themselves here the first time they post. My email address is alan.zendell@gmail.com.
America the Beautiful 
Republicans and Democrats have apparently started to communicate and perhaps cooperate as both parties are being ridiculed for deploying questionable judgment regarding their lack of discussions and ability to advance critical National contemporary matters. Hoping that sanity prevails and that the two party system works as the Constitution intended!
