The race is on. It seems like every day another contestant in the race to the bottom is making some outlandish claim. One day it is the Covid Governor of Texas. Another day it is the Covid Governor of Florida. Then it is the former governor of Florida and current Senator who thinks New York […]

Democrats Win Gold Medal for Skating on Thin Ice
The Democratic Party has won the gold medal for skating on thin ice. This coveted medal is awarded to the political party that best jeopardizes its political opportunity through risky and dangerous actions. A review of recent elections and gauging the present temperature for future elections shows that the Democratic Party right now is nowhere […]
Florida Covid Governor Bans Halloween Masks as Child Abuse
In a stunning move, the Florida Covid Governor threw his hat into the ring as a candidate for president in 2024 on the Republican line. He did so with his heroic channeling of another southern governor by blocking his state from a federal invasion. His words update those of the 1968 presidential candidate: If you […]

Do Tucker/Trump Oppose the Socialist Chlorination of Water?
Do Tucker/Trump oppose the socialist chlorination of water? That action seems to match all the criteria deployed in the current opposition to vaccinations. It is based on science.

Infrastructure: Can Do (1825-1969) to Can’t Catch-up (Today – ?)
Infrastructure is in the news again. It was in the news repeatedly during the previous administration. It seemed like every other week or month was dedicated to infrastructure.

Biden is extending this invitation because he knows the vaccine was […]
Maximus and Milley: The Fight to Preserve the Republic
Political thrillers are not merely fiction. On January 3, three days before the assault on America, I blogged about political thrillers mainly from the 1960s (Seven Days in January: This Time It Is Not a Movie). These stories tell of the efforts undertaken by people in power to maintain or increase their power through illegal […]
The Three Taxeteers: Al Capone, Leona Helmsley, and Donald Trump
This image of Al Capone, Leona Helmsley, and Donald Trump comes from a blog dated October 2, 2016. While I would love to take credit for it, the author was Jordan Zoot. At that time he wrote: Helmsley….perhaps the most notorious and self righteous criminal tax evader in the history of the United States. I […]
Dueling Anniversaries: July 4 and China 100th
The battle between the Borg and the Disunited Federation of Countries is engaged. The dueling images on the front page of The New York Times print edition on July 2 tell the story. If you only saw the website you would have missed the message delivered by the juxtaposition of these two images and articles. […]
