I was in such doldrums after the June 27 debate that I quit watching the news. For me, that’s pretty amazing. I kept Good Morning American and PBS NewsHour. But that was about it. Angry and afraid I was angry that someone or a cadre of someones had kept President Biden’s severe cognitive decline a […]
Why should we care about Hunter Biden’s possible influence on his father as he made deals around the world? Why do we care what Ginni Thomas does for a living? Why do we care where Congressional and Senate candidates get money for their campaigns? They work for us, right? It’s all pretty simple, isn’t it? […]
Two things this week take me back more than 50 years in time. And it’s not really in a good way. Campus protests Really? Couldn’t we have figured out how to handle campus protests from 50 years ago without the violence and arrests of this week? I just watched two educators on PBS NewsHour, the […]

Berryville Ice Cream Social I was manning a Democratic booth at the Berryville (AR) Ice Cream Social yesterday. And three Republicans told me they couldn’t vote for Trump again. Great news, I think.
