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, […]

Democrats ready to attack?

Could it be that the Democrats are finally going to start fighting fire with—-well, let’s be honest, a tiny flicker of a flame. Every lawyer knows that it is unethical for a judge to rule in a case in which the judge or a judge’s family member has a personal interest. Anyone who has familiarized […]

Tucker, the 21st century fifth columnist

So, it appears that Putin considers Tucker Carlson to be one of his most valuable propagandists: On March 3, as Russian military forces bombed Ukrainian cities as part of Vladimir Putin’s illegal invasion of his neighbor, the Kremlin sent out talking points to state-friendly media outlets with a request: Use more Tucker Carlson. “It is […]
