Last night we saw the Michigan primary election play out, and suffice it to say that President Joe Biden ran through it like a steamroller. He got about 80% of the vote, with also-rans like Dean Phillips and Marianne Williamson only getting about 2% of the vote each. When you’re winning an election by 78…

On a night when Donald Trump was winning the Michigan Republican primary contest by a much smaller than predicted margin, it was clear that his mind was elsewhere. Trump spent the evening posting hallucinations on social media about how everyone is leaving New York State in protest of his trial verdict there. Trump announced “Wow!…

Rose-colored glasses are for the innocent. The innocent, the romantics, the ones who had not yet been tainted by the cruelty of the world, the ones who found it difficult to imagine true horror. Long ago, I was one of these people. I wore my rose-colored glasses 24 hours a day. I could not imagine.…

I’m something of a stickler (some might say a curmudgeon) for good service. It’s a pet peeve of mine that there is so much bad service out there. Good service isn’t hard. It requires empathy, common sense, dedication and competence. It is the ultimate expression in business of “Do unto others as you would have…

Republicans are legislating, but the legislation is for them and not the rest of us. First, we saw Ted Cruz’s legislation for lawmakers to receive special treatment at the airport. Now, we have Mike Johnson and 124 other Republicans crafting a new bill: “Life at Conception Act.” Why do these men think they have the…

Not long ago, when the Department of Justice officially closed President Biden’s classified docs scandal with no charges being recommended (always the predictable outcome), a right-wing prosecutor baited the media into making it a campaign issue for President Biden. The media and Republicans tried milking this for all it was worth – all while Donald…

The only defense Donald Trump has offered against his four indictments on 91 felony counts is a disinformation campaign claiming election interference, which he began almost two years BEFORE the 2024 elections. And Trump knows a lot about election interference. In 2016, then FBI Director James Comey announced the FBI was reopening an investigation into…

The sounds are like a million whispering cicadas singing their social media song. For those not familiar with Twitter, they may not know about “trending. Trending on Twitter means going viral. It means that whatever is trending is at the top of popularity on Twitter, that this trending subject is one of the things that…

On Monday, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg filed for a limited gag order against Donald Trump. Why is this happening? It’s a standard procedure move when you’re about to go into trial against a defendant who can’t shut up. It’s a reminder that, yes, Trump’s first criminal trial really is about to start. In fact…

When Donald Trump goes to sleep, his psyche is not at peace. I imagine his dreams are not at all peaceful. Sleep for Donald Trump is not like sleep for the rest of us. Sleep for Donald Trump seems to be the time all of his fears, his grudges, and his fury come crawling out…

On Monday, Donald Trump filed a notice of appeal in his New York civil fraud verdict. Several news reports made it sound like this meant Trump was, you know, appealing. While that may technically be true, it’s realistically not true at all. If you’re planning to appeal a civil trial verdict, you realistically have to…

The ever-flowing waterfall of money that exists only in Donald Trump’s withered brain might be, in reality, more like a trickle. That’s because, according to Politico’s Josh Gerstein, Trump may experience a hard time securing a bond. Gerstein appeared on MSNBC on Sunday, where he sketched a dreary outlook for the traitor. He said were…

Apparently, there is a five-alarm fire going on among Republicans. Thus concerns GOP fundraising. Some in the GOP are starting to quake in their boots — and for good reason. One thing that is scaring Republicans silly are Donald Trump’s legal bills. Many worry that the Trump machine will drain dry their money to put…

Ted Cruz has a seemingly formidable opponent in his reelection bid, Colin Allred. Allred is a former lawyer and professional football player who has been steadily rising in the polls. A poll conducted by National Public Affairs shows them neck and neck at 44% each. No need to wonder why. Cruz is another person in…

Everybody seems to be talking about Donald Trump forgetting his son, Eric in his victory speech. The thing is though, that was far from the only gaffe Trump made over the weekend. Other gaffes are receiving less attention. And that simply isn’t right. These gaffes are equal opportunity gaffes and they ALL need to be…
