What is not OK? The Colorado Supreme Court has ruled that because of Trump’s involvement in the insurrection that took place on January 6, 2021, he is ineligible to hold office and his name is to be removed from the ballot for the upcoming Colorado primary election. Immediately, Republicans of all shapes and sizes began… Continue reading Dec 21, 2023

I am retired after spending 30+ years in the defense industry. I am an avid bicyclist, Harley rider, skier, and world traveler. I really became interested in politics during the last few years but have enjoyed writing on many different topics for a long time. Some people agree with me, some don't and that is fine. My 'musings' are simply an outlet for me.
Colorada v. Republican Hypocrisy
The hypocrisy of the Republicans is on full, technicolor display today after the Colorado Supreme Court ruled that Trump could not be on the ballot in the state because of the insurrection he incited January 6th, 2021. This is the same party that once claimed to be the ‘law and order’ party and who have… Continue reading Colorada v. Republican Hypocrisy
Trump: The Faustian Bargain
The latest Hitler-esque comments by Trump about immigrants poisoning the blood of the country have just once again reaffirmed the belief of many that Trump is a truly evil man. His former White House Chief of Staff, Marine Gen. John Kelly, has called Trump the most flawed person he has ever known. He said, “The… Continue reading Trump: The Faustian Bargain
Mifepristone: The New Black Market
The Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case to review a lower court ruling that would make access to mifepristone, the “abortion” pill, harder and more restrictive. This is a perfect example of how the anti-abortion activists are using the judicial system to push their extreme agenda. First, they seek out judges who they… Continue reading Mifepristone: The New Black Market
The Cost-Benefit of Trump
It would seem at some point that Trump supporters would begin to ask the question, “Is he really worth the cost?” I wonder how Rudy Giuliani would answer that question now that he has been ordered to pay almost $150 million in real and punitive damages to the two Georgia election workers he admittedly lied… Continue reading The Cost-Benefit of Trump
The Trump and Putin Bromance
Amidst the ongoing day to day chaos that has become the hallmark of the US political system, there is a bit of good news. An amendment was added to the recently passed 2024 National Defense Appropriations Act that will make it harder for any president (think Trump) to pull out of NATO. This was passed… Continue reading The Trump and Putin Bromance
The Tale of Trumpelstiltskin
With my sincere apologies to the Brothers Grimm, I would like to tell you the story of Trumpelstiltskin! ( I decided to get a bit silly today because if I don’t laugh once in a while, I will start crying about what is happening in this country!) Once upon a time in a land called… Continue reading The Tale of Trumpelstiltskin

I would say that the circus in the House of Representatives is over, but I think it’s just entering a new phase – Act 2, if you will. The clowns did elect a lead clown so there is now an official Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson from Louisiana! Mike Johnson is relatively unknown and,… Continue reading Oct 26, 2023
Oct 25, 2023
The circus with the Republican clowns in the House of Representative just keeps getting uglier and uglier. It would be funny if it weren’t so serious. It would be funny if the world wasn’t going up in flames while these Republican idiots are so consumed with petty issues and petty grievances that they are unable… Continue reading Oct 25, 2023

The first two definitions listed by Merriam Webster for democracy are: “1.a. A government by the people – especially rule of the majority”; 2.a. a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections.” Those… Continue reading Oct 24, 2023
