The Monday deadline is fasting approaching for Trump to post the bond to cover the $464 million judgment in the civil fraud trial in New York. If his legal maneuvering to delay or reduce the amount of this bond is not successful and he miraculously produces the money, it will immediately beg the question, “Where… Continue reading March 22, 2024

I will begin this by stating at the outset that there is absolutely no justification for the slaughter and carnage that occurred Oct. 7th in Israel. I will also state that I am not an expert by any means on the age-old conflict between the Israelis and the Palestinians. Lastly, I am extremely skeptical of… Continue reading March 21, 2024

There has been a lot of speculation about what a second Trump administration would look like. Recently Trump has said that he is thinking about a 15-week nationwide abortion ban. So much for “states’ rights,” which was one of the main arguments behind the overturning of Roe v. Wade. That should serve notice that those… Continue reading March 20, 2024

Poor Donald can’t seem to find anyone to help him post his $454 million bond. One would think that someone who is worth $10 billion (Trump’s words) wouldn’t have such a problem. However, like almost all things Trump, he has lied about his net worth and his wealth for his entire life. This latest development… Continue reading March 19, 2024

More Americans need to start paying attention to the agenda being pushed by the well-funded Heritage Foundation. This organization is like the proverbial wolf in sheep’s clothing. They use flowery sounding, ‘patriotic’ rhetoric, pushed by well groomed men and women in suits to give them an air of respectability but the fact is, they are… Continue reading March 18, 2024

Much has been written about what to expect if Trump wins a second term. However, perhaps the more dangerous situation will arise, at least in the short term, if he doesn’t legitimately win the 2024 election. It is quite possible we will have another January 6th on steroids, and I would be willing to bet… Continue reading March 16, 2024

Just when you think the Republican freak show cannot get any weirder, a new character shows up who makes Marjorie Taylor Greene and Katie Britt seem like paragons of sanity. Enter Michelle Morrow, the GOP candidate for Superintendent of North Carolina public schools. How this lady is legitimately on the ballot versus being in prison… Continue reading March 15, 2024

I mentioned before that I am reading a book, The Power Worshippers: Inside the Dangerous Rise of Religious Nationalism, by Katherine Stewart. I have almost finished the book and it has been an informative and frightening read. It’s unfortunate that more people are not aware of the well-funded and extensive assault on democracy that is… Continue reading March 14, 2024

Yesterday I wrote about the Republican clown car that is also known as the House of Representatives. They continue to demonstrate they have no business trying to govern since they can’t even manage their own affairs. Speaker Mike Johnson wants to have a GOP ‘retreat’ at the Greenbriar Resort in West Virginia next Wednesday and… Continue reading March 13, 2024

The clown show that used to be known as the Republican Party continues to amaze the world at how craven and crass they have become. It’s like Donald Trump himself, who is known far and wide for his outlandish behavior and rhetoric, gathered up the entire remaining flock of Republicans and gave them a master… Continue reading March 12, 2024
