A good start

Friday, November 30, 2018

I believe I’ve written before about what the Democrats should do with their house majority: pass legislation that people want regardless of the fact that it won’t pass the Senate and/or would be vetoed by the very stable genius. It looks like the Democrats are going to do exactly that, with the first item of business being […]

No reason to wallow

Monday, November 26, 2018

This is one of many blog posts I’ve read recently crowing about the number of corporations demanding their money back from Cindy Hyde-Smith after she let her racist flag fly a little too high. Among those sending bribe money her way was Major League Baseball. Now that she has announced to the world that she is […]

That’s the way you do it

Sunday, November 25, 2018

Apparently at least one Democrat has learned the obvious lesson of the last several years. Incoming House Oversight Chair Elijah Cummings isn’t about to give minority Republicans subpoena power in the new Congress.  Let’s step back a bit and consider the context in which we’ve learned this. The execrable Chuck Todd asked Cummings whyever he wouldn’t […]

Democrats already proving me right

Tuesday, November 20, 2018

Shortly after the election, I expressed my confidencein the ability of the Democrats to turn this thing around, and snatch defeat from the jaws of victory at the earliest opportunity. They haven’t even officially taken over the House, and already they’re hard at work to do just that. I’m no fan of Nancy Pelosi, for reasons […]

I’ve mentioned the Palmer Reporta few times in this blog, and I confess I still take a sort of guilty pleasure in checking it out on a regular basis. My overall impression is that the facts are usually accurate, though the conclusions drawn therefrom are often a little out there, although usually entertaining. Anyway, today the […]

The election is over, time to complain about Democrats again

Saturday, November 10, 2018

So, today there was this: Sunday marks 100 years since the end of World War I, the supposed “war to end all wars” that caused the deaths of tens of millions of soldiers and civilians. Leaders from across the globe are in France to commemorate the centennial. German Chancellor Angela Merkel joined French President Emmanuel Macron […]

A few thoughts on the election

Friday, November 9, 2018

I finally have a few minutes to get back to this blog, the election, and my involvement therewith, having taken up a lot of time, including more than 2 hours standing in the rain and wind holding a sign. Does that sort of thing really change any minds?  Anyway.. When I went to bed Tuesday […]

Friday Night Music: Where is P.F. Sloan when we need him?

Friday, November 2, 2018

Or, Bob Dylan for that matter. Little did we know at the time that it was more like the early morning of Destruction. I know it’s a small part of things, but we could use a song like this in the present day. It’s a shame Sloan’s no longer around to update the lyrics. If […]
