It looks like Ukraine is going to be Russia’s Vietnam
By now it’s pretty clear that Ukraine is going to be Russia’s Vietnam. Maybe it will drive Putin out of office, just like Vietnam drove LBJ out of office. Putin has officially called up 300,000 “reservists,” but it appears that … Continue reading

What are we rewarding the Republicans for, part 1
As part of our newly commenced ongoing series, I’m going to be asking the question — repeatedly — what are we rewarding the Republicans for if we do let them take the midterms. What are we rewarding them for? So … Continue reading

One could be forgiven for having lost track of all the investigations into former President Trump because, well, because there are so many investigations to keep track of. In fact, if you look at the Wikipedia page for the Legal … Continue reading

I keep reading about how it’s likely that the Republicans are going to win back the House in 2022, and I keep wondering why? What are we rewarding them for? They’ve practically been in full scale election denial for the … Continue reading

I’m not buying the Republican’s maudlin “Patriotism” this morning.
Today is the anniversary of 9/11. Twenty-one years ago “terrorists” flew four planes into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a field in Pennsylvania (but headed for the Capitol). To be honest, I had forgotten about it, until I … Continue reading

Don’t know about you, but I didn’t really have a strong reaction to the death of QEII

It is weird how upset Republicans are over Joe Biden’s speech in Philadelphia
I must say that, as we embark on the Labor Day weekend, I am amused by the response from the MAGA crowd to Joe Biden’s Thursday night speech in Philadelphia, warning of an assault on our democracy. It’s not unifying, … Continue reading
