Although he’s no longer with us, a contributor still posts articles that readers may find informative, interesting, or simply entertaining and funny (read statement of purpose here).

Storm Clouds Over The White House: Harris Concedes
GOP CAPTURES SENATE; HOUSE CONTROL UNCLEAR
ABORTION RIGHTS SCORE WINS
Abortion rights pass in Arizona, Colorado, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New York; fail in Florida, Nebraska, and

Trump has 2 million fewer votes than in 2020. Harris has 14 million fewer votes than Biden in 2020.
Many voters told pollsters they didn’t like the choices. It appears they didn’t vote.
