About Armando Diana

A freelance writer for more than 30 years I covered the political scene in New Jersey which can prepare anyone for national politics. I have no fancy political degrees and I'm definitely not a lawyer - I am a common person who is fed up with politics. I want leaders focused on doing what is right for the country, not for them.

Who do you trust more: The media or President Trump?  Would you even believe the results?

Re-claiming an image is a difficult task.  Ask star athletes that misbehave and then spend millions of dollars on public relations gimmicks to try to salvage their image.  It’s not necessary. The best way to restore an image is to … Continue reading →

What if the dream came true and it’s more about content than color?

Posted on January 17, 2017 by Armando Diana

Those against Trump are judging him like they judge themselves 

Posted on January 11, 2017 by Armando Diana

Imaginary friends as children; social media as adults

Posted on January 10, 2017 by Armando Diana

My morning routine at work is symptomatic of the lies we partake on social media.  I go on Twitter and LinkedIn and blindly like or re-share my colleagues posts.  I don’t read them I just like them. Why? Because the … Continue reading →

No one is perfect, accept responsibility and move on

Posted on January 5, 2017 by Armando Diana

There comes a time when you need to take responsibility for your actions and be held accountable.  This is a lost art.  We simply make excuses for our behavior and typically blame someone else or society. How is society responsible … Continue reading →

The fault lies not in our stars but in ourselves

Posted on December 20, 2016 by Armando Diana

I’m sure it will be a matter of days before we start reading reports the Electoral College was overrun by Russian spies. I believe people should be accountable for their actions.  Whether they are good and bad or are right … Continue reading →

The media should watch A Clockwork Orange to figure out why they can’t win

Posted on December 17, 2016 by Armando Diana

Is the media a Clockwork Orange? I am not referring to the book or the movie – although that also applies – but the object.  A Clockwork Orange is an organism that looks beautiful on the outside but is nothing … Continue reading →

Another day, another attempt to steal the election

Posted on December 15, 2016 by Armando Diana

Perhaps Liberals need to attend You Lost the Election Anonymous and go through a 12 step program to deal with their loss? I doubt they ever will. A 12-step program involves giving up control to a higher being and most … Continue reading →

The road of good intentions lead to a place no one wants to visit

Posted on December 7, 2016 by Armando Diana
