An Evening of Mixed Emotions
Watching the primary returns this evening has been a bag of mixed emotions. Sad because Pete Buttigieg wasn’t a part of the excitement. Happy that Amy Klobuchar had suspended her candidacy. Frustrated that so many people voting today had unnecessary long waits due to the lack of enough voting machines or precincts for the number… Continue reading An Evening of Mixed Emotions
Obama Got Game! And I Think He Bet on the “Wrong” Horse
What a whirlwind of politics! Can a person even keep up? Obama appears to have really been making the weekend calls and I wish he hadn’t. He and Jimmy give Pete a talking to, and Pete is out and endorsing Biden. Obama gives Amy a talking to, and she is out and endorsing Biden. Obama… Continue reading Obama Got Game! And I Think He Bet on the “Wrong” Horse
Whom to Vote for Now?
My heart is very heavy. Mayor Pete has suspended his presidential bid. I was sitting in a movie theater scrolling through Twitter and there it was, the announcement.

Where Have All Our Leaders Gone? Repost
After the events of today with Devin Nunes and the apparent installation of a Trumpist loyalist as the Director of National Intelligence, meaning another part of our government is now compromised, I felt an old post is even more relevant today than it was just a few months ago. Where Have All Our Leaders Gone?
This is an Appropriate Response to Trumpism
Tami Burages (@tmurages) hit it out of the park with the following Twitter thread. This is what a response to Trumpism and AG Barr should have looked like in a truly functioning Democratic Republic and a Fourth Pillar seeking the truth to protect the Constitution. This is what we should demand and expect from our… Continue reading This is an Appropriate Response to Trumpism
Damn, Democratic Party Leadership! Get It Together!
I’m starting to wonder if you really want to beat Trump in November, take the Senate, and keep the House, because you sure aren’t acting like it. First, there were 25+ people running for office. That is a whole lot of ego in one field. Hurray, we have a great field from which to choose!… Continue reading Damn, Democratic Party Leadership! Get It Together!
