And all they are doing now is fighting over more matches — I watched Trump’s running-for-president announcement speech. Well, actually, I watched some of it. Though I often brag I have a cast-iron stomach, even I do have my limits. I watched about the first 20 minutes or so. It was educational. I learned a lot that I didn’t know. Trump spent…

On a key issue, the polls were wrong (or manipulated, or faulty, or whatever) as it was NOT the economy, stupid — Polls were wrong when it came to what issue mattered most to voters. They were spectacularly wrong. Being a little off could be chalked up to just the nature of statistical sampling. Being spectacularly off either means incompetence/stupidity or something more nefarious, or both. Regardless, the story of these midterms…

You should know what is happening, since it is not what is coming in the future, but rather what is already here — My phone buzzes on my desk. I’m working, so I do not want to be disturbed, but I glance at it. It is a message from our secure, encrypted, Signal chat group. I take a look. The message says that “Jane’s” ride fell through. Can anybody help? …

Please hear me out, as I do not want to fight, I just want to talk to you — I am autistic, what used to be called Asperger’s Syndrome. One of the characteristics of youngsters with Asperger’s is having a vocabulary far beyond their age range. In other words, lots of 50-cent words tucked in our heads. Ironic, isn’t it? We also tend to be not very sociable and…

The Democratic Party talking-point robots have been deployed, and I am so sick of this — Once again, Democrats are working hard to lose. Many of the major midterm races should be slam dunks for them to win. Closer contests should be easy for them to close the gap. Should be. All they really had to do was follow the Kansas playbook. The problem is that…

In politics, the root cause of “crazy” is “fear” and for the GOP it is irrational fear of a Dem/liberal/Black mob — In a cascade of daily crazy news, daily outrage, daily Republican combativeness, and negativity, you may have missed one little document released via the Freedom of Information Act. …

Esoteric spirituality on the rise, and I think I know why — I recently came out of the broom closet to a pair of Mormon missionaries. Don’t laugh. This is a true story. A knock at my door one evening and I open it to see two very earnest young men smiling at me. The white shirts, name tags, a pair of…

The pathetic politics of supporting Herschel Walker is an affront to MLK’s dream — I want to quote Martin Luther King, Jr.: I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. There is no longer any content left…

Definitely slimy, probably illegal — Yes, there was rightly a lot of outrage over the stunt pulled by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Flying migrants from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard was worthy of a frat boy-level of sense of humor. Liberal media pundits were breathlessly trying to outdo one another for adjective selection. I think the…
