It seems just yesterday we were watching China locking down Wuhan Province, then the whole of Italy shuttering its doors. Now we are watching Coronavirus unfold in our own U.S. of A. while wondering how it could happen here on such a large scale. I’ve already talked about that topic in this space, and won’t… Continue reading 20,000 and Counting

Mr. Trump is a National Health Hazard
Every time 45 is broadcast on national TV, he does harm to the economy, to the Office of the President, and to the health of millions of Americans. The media MUST stop broadcasting him live. If he actually says something of import, it can always be played later as a clip. We should only be… Continue reading Mr. Trump is a National Health Hazard
First Voter Suppression, Now Voting Delays
I was going to write about the proposed “Coronavirus” reaction bill, but the delayed primary in Louisiana kept staying on my mind. With voter suppression happening all over the country by closing some precincts, limiting voting machines, reducing early voting days, and such, anything to do with voters always grabs my attention. On Friday, March… Continue reading First Voter Suppression, Now Voting Delays
What Are You Doing to Help During this Crisis?

I’ve been trying to figure out what is different about the Coronavirus than Ebola, Swine Flu or… Continue reading For the First Time, I’m Afraid of a Virus
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
Dear Mayor Bloomberg,
I keep hearing on TV you seem to be what we call filthy rich where I grew up. I keep hearing you spent over $500,000,000 on ads to promote your run for president. I keep hearing you will spend some of your billions of dollars to help the Democratic nominee for president (and hopefully for… Continue reading Dear Mayor Bloomberg,
