I Think Joe Biden Is Right (Yeah, I said that)

I Think Joe Biden Is Right (Yeah, I said that)

I watched last night’s debate and was pretty uncomfortable most of the time. I really don’t like seeing Democrats beat up on other Democrats. But better to get it out of the way now than let Republicans be the first to do it!

Joe Biden isn’t even in the top three of my preferred presidential candidates. That said, I think he and the other “moderate” Democrats had a good point in the latest…

If the Clemson Tigers Were a Russian Team

If the Clemson Tigers Were a Russian Team

What do you think? Would they have been served Big Macs? Or would the best chefs from Trump’s hotel create culinary masterpieces, maybe even paid for by Trump or certainly a back channel oligarch buddy, to make sure the team felt appreciated for their success? All-American champions apparently don’t Make America Great Again during a government shutdown. Wonder if leftovers went to the homeless or…

“No” Never Had So Much Power

“No” Never Had So Much Power

It’s a bittersweet moment for this baby-boomer who worked hard to build a legitimate career with an equitable paycheck in the 1980s.

Thrilled Nancy Pelosi is running the 116th. Elated at the number of reps of different ethnicities and sexes populating the halls of government, closer to representing our country…finally.

Saddened that Trump is going to be given media time tonight to disseminate…

Reasons To Vote This Year

Reasons To Vote This Year

Perhaps you aren’t sufficiently motivated to vote in this midterm election. Maybe you’re frustrated by our government and don’t think they adequately represent the people. Maybe you’ve decided “they’re all the same.”

I assure you, they are NOT “all the same.” Here are a bunch of reasons to vote:

You Care About The Environment I don’t think there is an issue where there is more difference between…

Don't Assume Anything - You Have To Show Up And Vote!

Don’t Assume Anything – You Have To Show Up And Vote!

If you don’t like the way things are today, get out there a vote!

The media is doing its usual job of prognosticating. The senate will stay republican and the house will turn democrat. But you have to remember something that is critically important. This is all based on polling data, assumptions, predictions, and, the “political experts” telling us what they think it going to happen. But in order…

Three Questions I'm Asking Myself

Three Questions I’m Asking Myself

With the Senate hearing behind us, and the Senate Judiciary Committee voting to proceed with the Kavanaugh vote, I find myself asking three important questions.

1 – Why would Christine Blasey Ford lie about being sexually assaulted?

The president and republicans tell us it is all a Democratic con job or sham. That really stretches my imagination. Here is a woman that has been living a quite life,…

Don't Expect Kavanaugh Appointment To Be Derailed

Don’t Expect Kavanaugh Appointment To Be Derailed

I think many Americans may be under the delusion that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s appointment may be at risk because of sexual assault allegations. It would be nice if that were true, but this is America. What are you thinking?

The President of the United States bragged about sexually assaulting women on camera and everyone saw it. Yet he still became President of the United States.

They Are Gutless!

The media is going crazy over the anonymously written op-ed published by the New York Times. While it certainly is unprecedented, I don’t take comfort in it.

After hearing of the claims that there are high level people in the Trump Administration that are working to stop his “most impetuous” actions, the president called the writer “gutless.”

I have to say, I agree with him. But not in the way he…

They Like Trump Because They're Ill Informed

They Like Trump Because They’re Ill Informed

It isn’t really a surprise, but the article in the link below seems to hit on a very key point. It talks about Trump’s problems with actual facts and his refusal to accept or try to understand them.

The article specifically calls out Trump’s repeated inability to understand history and the reasons why we have troops stationed in Korea, Japan, Europe, and elsewhere. It points out his inability to…

Trump Administration Now Moving to Deport Hispanic US Citizens

Trump Administration Now Moving to Deport Hispanic US Citizens

Racist. Deplorable. Shameful. Horrific.

Those are the words that came to mind as I read the story linked below. The Trump Administration is trying to make American citizens, prove that they are American citizens, but providing backup to their birth certificates.

How many American citizens could comply with these new requirements? More importantly, why should anyone have to prove that their birth…

The Smoke And Mirrors Presidency

The Smoke And Mirrors Presidency

Much like his announcement that he had “eliminated North Korea as a nuclear threat” a few months ago, Republican President Donald Trump’s announcement Monday of a trade deal with Mexico is more performance than reality.

Apparently, under the US Constitution, the President of the United States doesn’t have unlimited powers to do whatever he wants. Republicans in congress appear to be growing some…

Petty, Vindictive Man Child In Chief Disrespects The Flag, Country, and Military

Petty, Vindictive Man Child In Chief Disrespects The Flag, Country, and Military

The president’s treatment of War Hero and Senator John McCain, even after he is dead, is very telling of the president’s petty, vindictive personality.

Take the high road. Just once in your life. Please. Just once!

I didn’t really care much for McCain’s policy positions. And he will forever be remembered by me as the guy that picked Sarah Palin as his running mate. That was a critical moment in…

The Real Voter Fraud

The Real Voter Fraud

Republicans have tried very hard to disenfranchise minority and poor voters using claims of voter fraud. As we’ve covered before, actual voter fraud is very rare. If it wasn’t, Republicans would be holding up actual examples of voter fraud cases and convictions. But they don’t have any.

However, sometimes candidates do play fast and loose with rules. And here is a case of Republicans run amok of…

How To Really Drain The Swamp

How To Really Drain The Swamp

Elizabeth Warren is for the people and she is most definitely against the never ending corruption that happens when business determines the direction of our government.

Her new plan for draining the swamp is a good one, albeit very ambitious. But why can’t we set our sights high and expect great things from our government?

Why We Must Stop The Trump Administration

Why We Must Stop The Trump Administration

Forget about “truth isn’t truth.”

Forget about payoffs of porn stars and Playboy Playmates.

Forget about outrageous statements involving political opponents.

Forget about claims of witch hunt hoax investigations.

It is the policies of the Trump Administration that need to be stopped!

In its latest move, the Trump Administration is catering to the fossil fuel industry by relaxing carbon emissions…

Good Reporting May Have Saved Tax Payers $92M

Good Reporting May Have Saved Tax Payers $92M

Earlier today, CNBC revealed that Republican President Donald Trump’s military parade was going to cost as much as $92M. This is roughly nine times the original estimated cost.

It made the rounds on most media outlets and, of course, many people were outraged about the needless waste of taxpayer money to entertain the President. Later in the day, it was reported that the parade has been canceled,…

The Press Is Not The Enemy Of The People

The Press Is Not The Enemy Of The People

The press is not the enemy of the people. They are an integral part of our democracy and their freedom is guaranteed by the First Amendment.

Perhaps the problem lies with a person that thinks the press is the enemy of the people.

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or…
