After Uncle Sam threatened to cut off his prodigal nephew, the Israeli leader vowed, “If we need to, we will fight with our fingernails.” (See story here.) That’s an interesting concept. It might give Palestinians a fighting chance. If he’s going to do that, he should let the[...]

Is Biden or Trump worse for inflation?
Polls show inflation is a top concern of voters, and could decide the 2024 election. If you chose a candidate based on that issue, who would you go with, Biden or Trump? Here are 5 reasons why Trump might be the worst pick: 1. Trump favors tariffs. Trump claims tariffs would be paid by China [&hel[...]
Has Hamas won?
“Know your enemy better than you know yourself,” Sun Tzu wrote, or phrasing to that effect. If Hamas leaders are truly diabolical, they would carry out an attack on Israel so atrocious it would provoke a gross overreaction. That’s exactly what happened. What’s in it for Hamas[...]
Biden’s dog receives death threat
“Say hello to Cricket.” It reads like a bloodstained note from a serial killer. Cricket is in doggy heaven, blown to bits with a shotgun in a gravel pit. His killer’s message implies a similar fate for the recipient. After killing her own dog 20 years ago, Kristi Noem is going arou[...]
Should Biden voters worry about his weak polls?
Some recent polls show Trump leading Biden. (I won’t cite specific polls, because they change daily and weekly.) Should Biden supporters (and people who shudder at Trump) worry he might lose the election? Let’s start with words often attributed* to the immortal baseball philosopher, Yo[...]

Republicans are outraged Trump is indicted for breaking the law
Trump’s MAGA movement caught many Americans by surprise. They’ve never seen anything like it before. This is the first time anyone has tried to overthrow our democracy. To outsiders, Trump looks like a pied piper leading a crowd of zombies into a never-never land of lies, fantasies, and [...]
Nikki Haley wants to “save America”
From what? Union wages? Women controlling their own bodies? Queer people? In a townhall on Sunday, June 4, 2023 (read story here), she wouldn’t get specific about abortion. Women voters are entitled to assume she would sign a nationwide ban, because that’s what Republicans are enacting [...]
Biden and the sandbag
Republicans want you to believe Biden is too old for another term. That’s doubtful, but even if true, isn’t a good enough reason to elect any Republican presently in the field. Amusingly, Republicans who question Biden’s mental faculties are complaining he outsmarted them in debt c[...]
