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 […]
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 […]
I know we’re all tired of reading about and worrying about Joe Biden’s age. Los Angeles Times piece But a guest opinion piece in today’s Los Angeles Times sheds valuable light, I think. The piece was written by Beverly Hills geriatrician Daniel J. Stone. He’s counseled many seniors over time about the effects of aging. […]
Steve Rattner, a New York investor who advised the Treasury Department in the past, has fascinating observations in his appearances on Morning Joe. One this week really caught my eye. It was on one of his favorite topics — immigration. Not the problem it seems While we hear a lot about the need for a […]
I found yesterday’s House hearing on the Joe Biden impeachment fascinating. Primarily it was interesting because of the lack of evidence produced.

The two indictments of Donald Trump, the most recent the most significant, make it clear Republicans need another choice. 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. Obviously that’s no […]
I’m really sick that Top Secret documents have been found in President Biden’s possession. Now, they’ve been found in at least three places, his office in Washington, in his garage with his Corvette and now in his home office. Come on, Joe! The stories are quite different between what President Biden did and what former […]
Why, oh why, do the Mid-Terms always have to shape up as a referendum on the party in power? Why can’t they just be about the issues at hand. What’s happening so far So far, it appears the Mid-Terms are a showdown between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. It’s not presidential election season, folks, so […]
Joe Biden has successfully handled many things, including the raging pandemic, since he took office. He’s had so many balls in the air at a time, it’s amazing how well he’s been able to juggle. The Balls? The balls? Well, as mentioned, there is the Covid pandemic. He did a great job at getting people […]
