I don’t know if Democrats everywhere are panicking today, but the media sure has its panties in a bunch over President Biden’s lackluster performance in Thursday evening’s debate with Donald Trump. I wouldn’t want to say I told you so, but I would still vote for Biden over Trump in a heartbeat. Still, the things …
There is one perfect alternative to Biden for Dems Read More »
I had an epiphany of sorts tonight. As much as I have been anticipating the debate between President Biden and Donald Trump, I will not be watching even one minute of it tonight. Oh, I’ll read about it tomorrow morning and watch clips of it on the Internet, but that why I get to decide …
I came across a statistic the other day that didn’t ring true. Someone said that 74 million Americans love Donald Trump, based of course on the rough number of votes he got in the 2020 election. It’s a meaningless number for several reasons, but if we were to assume it’s real, there are 330 million …
I’m relatively certain this will annoy some of my right-wing readers. You have right-wing readers? I must. Well, one or two. I think Louisiana is making a big mistake requiring public schools to post the Ten Commandments for everyone to see. First of all, it’s unconstitutional, although there’s no guarantee that the present Supreme Court …

My dad was born and raised in New York City. Brooklyn, in fact, although he was not a fan of the Brooklyn Dodgers. There were three teams in NYC in those days, and he was a fan of the team that played in the northern part of Manhattan — the New York Giants. I don’t …
“I am not a member of any organized political party. I am a Democrat.” The Democratic Party made a big mistake eight years ago and America had to pay for it. Still paying, in fact. In fact, they might be about to make another mistake that will take our country back into the same horror …
“… crazier than a shithouse rat.” I always thought this vulgarity was a pretty good way of describing someone who was in a situation so repulsive that it drove them crazy. So theoretically, at least, the people being driven crazy would be the folks around Donald Trump, not Trump himself. But it’s clear now if …
I wonder if I will ever learn to stop falling for clickbait on Facebook. First of all, I am usually not their target audience. I’m part of the generation that has been hated by the most people of any American generation — the Baby Boomers. When we grew up in the 1950s and ’60s, when …
