The Atlantic thinks so; their headline says, “Pardon Trump’s Critics Now” (see story here), arguing Biden has a moral obligation to do so. However, I can think of reasons why he shouldn’t. First and foremost, people who haven’t committed crimes don’t need pardons,[...]

Having Biden as president was comforting. He led us out of the pandemic in a sensible manner, his handling of foreign affairs was wise, his infrastructure bill addressed long-neglected repairs and upgrades to the sinews of America’s economy. His leadership style was compassionate and upbeat, a[...]
PHOTOGRAPHY: Eric Trump’s odd haircut
This is an old story from 2017 (read it here), but it just came to my attention, and raises this question: Why does the Trump family, in this case Eric Trump (left, in photo below), keep reminding everyone of a certain German dictator? Odd coincidence? Return to The-Ave.US Home Page[...]
What the 2028 election might be like

If Trump is out to get you, what can he do to you?
One of Trump’s minions reportedly has drafted a list of 350 people “he wants arrested” (see story here). The people on that list generally know they are. They include Trump critics like former Capitol police officer Michael Fanone, and select journalists. Fanone specifically expres[...]
How to vote for AOC and Trump at the same time
She wanted to know, so she asked (see story here); the answers she got are surprising, but really not so surprising. Read some of them below. If Trump really cares about the working class, that’ll put him in conflict a Congress of his own party, whose policies generally hurt or at least don[...]

Will women resort to Plan 4B?
Translated from Korean, it means “no dating, no sex, no marriage, no children.” Many American women are enraged at men for re-electing Trump. Guys, better get your blowup dolls before they’re gone! Read story here. Return to The-Ave.US Home Page[...]
