More bad messaging, and something completely different

This article at the American Independent got me thinking yet again about the left’s ham-handedness when it comes to framing it’s message, a trait shared by the Democratic Party generally. The article is about the fact that Tommy Tuberville, one in a now long line of stupid Southern Senators (it’s a selling point down there) […]

A clear and present danger

I’ve read in various places that Robert Kennedy, Jr. has the support, at this time, of a little more than 20% of potential Democratic Primary voters. I think it’s safe to say that 95% of those folks feel Biden is too old, responded to the Kennedy name, and have no idea what a nutjob he […]

A bit about Biden

It’s my understanding that Joe Biden isn’t terribly popular. He is with me, though in all truth in a perfect world I’d be happy if he was replaced by someone a lot younger, but given current realities, he is our bulwark against fascism, and, give him credit, he seems to understand that. He’s done better […]

Leave TikTok Alone!

I’m not a TikTok user or fan, but I agree with a common take on the current attack on TikTok by Washington politicians of both political parties. TikTok may in fact be spying on Americans, but as the other social media giants might say: “Who among us isn’t?”. TikTok is being attacked because it has […]

Good points

Thursday night we celebrated the 15th anniversary of the New London Drinking Liberally group that I helped found what seems like eons ago. We’ve had folks come and go, but there’s some who have been coming for all of those 15 years. Last night one of those veterans brought me an article he had printed […]

Looking ahead

Over at Hullabaloo Tom Sullivan writes about one of the many problems besetting the Democrats: the aging and consequent ossification of many of their elected officials, 89 year old Diane Feinstein, who is almost certainly in at least the beginning stages of dementia, being a prime example. Not only do these politicians lose touch with […]

All your base are belong to us

There certainly is a difference between the two parties in this country. The Fascist Republican party goes out of its way to cater to its fringe base, while the Democratic Party goes out of its way to alienate what should be its base. In this case, I’m talking about unions, which were once a major […]

A midsummer night’s rant

Two years ago I ranted on this blog about the left’s inability to craft its message, in that case excoriating whatever leftist (if he or she wasn’t a right wing mole) crafted the phrase “defund the police”. There are two sides to the left’s failure in this regard. Not only do we fail to craft […]

Another thing Democrats won’t do

I agree with the premise of this post over at Politicus USA, and my purpose here is simply to amplify on it a bit. It appears that Trump is a bit sensitive about perceptions of his intelligence, and he’s stupid enough to use the fact that he passed a test designed to diagnose senility as […]

No cheers for Lamont

I’m not totally a James Carville fan, but he’s got this right: “If we can’t stand in there for Joe Biden and talk about the great things he’s done, then we don’t deserve to win this election in 2022,” the Democratic strategist said. More at the link. This echoes a complaint I’ve made many times, […]
