I was watching the Democratic National Convention again last night and something occurred to me during several interviews when people were talking about Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. Both have spent decades in jobs that were focused on helping others. Harris was a prosecutor. She was the Attorney General for California before she became one… Continue reading August 22, 2024

It is clear from watching the first couple of days of the Democratic National Convention and looking at what is going on in the polls that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz have re-energized the Democratic Party. Joe Biden had the courage, character, and moral clarity to put aside his own ambitions and desires for a… Continue reading August 21, 2024

The Democratic National Convention started yesterday and I’m sure it will be dissected and analyzed in a tsunami of media coverage, so I won’t add to the fray. I will, however, touch on an issue that is front and center in this year’s election and will be discussed multiple times during the weeklong convention. And… Continue reading August 20, 2024

James Comer, the Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, has launched yet another fruitless investigation to waste even more taxpayer dollars. This time, he is going after Kamala Harris’s running mate, Tim Walz. The purported reason for parking this Congressional backhoe on Tim Walz’s front lawn is to ‘investigate’ his ties to China because he… Continue reading August 19, 2024

Yesterday I talked about how the chameleon should be the new GOP emblem rather than the elephant because, like the chameleon, they change colors to try to camouflage what they are really up to. The Trump campaign just proved my point by announcing a new “presidential transition organization,” in an attempt to distance Trump from… Continue reading August 17, 2024

For many years now, the GOP has been associated with the elephant as its emblem and the Democrats have been associated with the donkey. I won’t go into the history of how those emblems came into being, but I do think it’s time for a change. These days, the chameleon is the more appropriate emblem… Continue reading August 16, 2024

I read a headline on the CNN website that said, “Trump again stirs fears of stolen election claims with attacks on Harris.” And a subtext under that was, “Some critics warn it may be a pretext to question the outcome if he loses.”  My only response is ‘No Shit! Anyone who believes for one second… Continue reading August 15, 2024

Re-election to the White House which was once within his grasp seems to be slipping away because, let’s be frank here, Donald Trump is an addict. Donald Trump is addicted to insulting other people. Some people have addictions to alcohol, food, heroin, meth, and even sex. Trump has none of those problems unless you count… Continue reading August 14, 2024

Why is the media not aggressively attacking and questioning Trump’s mental fitness for office the same way they did after Biden’s disastrous debate performance? For weeks leading up to Biden’s decision to step down as the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, the media was flooded with stories about Biden’s fitness for office. Even though Trump is… Continue reading August 13, 2024

Will America become the next Venezuela? There was a time that would have been an unthinkable question to even ask but today, it is not such a far-fetched comparison. Venezuela recently held elections for president and the current incumbent, Nicholas Maduro, declared victory shortly after the polls closed, despite overwhelming evidence that his opponent, Edmundo… Continue reading August 12, 2024
