Huffington Post labeled it “the debate from hell” and pundits across the political spectrum called it a “disaster” for Biden, because he lacked energy and stamina, repeatedly lost his train of thought, and his voice was hoarse and raspy. The White House claimed he’s bat[...]

Who’s to blame for the housing crisis?
Capitalism is. I’m not saying there’s a better system for supplying homes, owned or rented, to everyone who needs them. Nobody in America wants to live in Soviet housing. Rather, I’m reacting to an NPR article (here) which, like many journalistic endeavors, begins with an anecdote:[...]
GOPer demands Biden take drug test before debate
This is political theater, nothing more. It’s in the category of “believing something makes it true.” For example, “if Republicans believe elections are unfair, that makes them unfair.” The polite term for this is “logical fallacy;” the impolite term starts [...]

How Kamala Harris could become Trump’s vice president
Here’s how it could happen in theory. The Hill thinks Florida Sen. Marco Rubio may be Trump’s VP pick (story here). Let’s say Florida’s electoral votes decide a close election. The 12th Amendment would allow its electors to vote for only one person from their state. So if they vote for[...]

Should a crazy person be president?
Think I’m being rhetorical, eh? Listen, don’t take my word for anything. This is from the horse’s mouth: “If you’re an adviser to him, your job is to help him at the margins,” said one Trump confidante. “To talk him out of doing crazy things.” (For context, go here, a P[...]
Biden’s real speeches, Trump’s fake crowds (video)
Who’s really ahead. In the last real poll, Biden was by 7 million votes. The next poll that actually counts is November 5, 2024. In the runup, Biden is going around acting presidential (e.g., paying tribute to veterans in D-Day speeches), while Trump fakes crowd sizes and talks about sharks an[...]

Campaign Issues 2024: Trump tells rally he’d rather be electrocuted than eaten by sharks
Trump told a Las Vegas rally crowd on Sunday, June 9, 2024, that if he’s on a sinking electric boat he’d rather be electrocuted than eaten by sharks. This video isn’t doctored; he really said this. I checked, and you can, too: Newsmax has the entire speech here; this segment begins[...]

Voting fraud found in 2024 election!
GOP lawyers and operatives have found voting fraud in Georgia’s 2024 presidential election months before the election. Of course, like all other GOP voting fraud claims, it’s fabricated. Rolling Stone says, “Lawyers close to Trump are already preparing … to claim fraud in Ge[...]

White House or Big House?
I recall there were predictions that if Trump lost the 2020 election, he would “spend the rest of his life in court.” This could explain his desperation to overturn that election, and also why he’s running again in 2024. After all, Trump isn’t known for being motivated by ide[...]
Tomorrow marks D-Day, and we’ve learned nothing
June 6, 2024, marks the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings. We’re now four generations removed from that fateful day, and only a handful of its veterans are still alive to remind us of the lessons America should learn from that war. Before World War 2, America was isolationist, and caught [...]
