    Little help from Sioux Falls, Oshkosh, and Omaha.

    The best that can happen.

    I’ve pretty much given up on Democracy. It’s not that I don’t appreciate it but that it isn’t saving the world. Anti-Democracy is much stronger. Fascism is much stronger. So, what am I suppose to do about it? Fight in the name of Democracy? Protest against Fascism? As I’ve said anti-Democracy is...

    Trump's sentencing.

    Regarding my opinion of ex-president Donald Trump, I consider his performance during and after he served as president to be inferior to most, (if not all others), and to be superior to no others who ever served as president of the United States. Some, if not all of the NY criminal crimes that...

    Henry Wallace and Harry Truman

    Henry A. Wallace and Harry Truman: Harry S. Truman actions as U.S. president and then as an ex-president, was superior to many and inferior to no others that served in that office. But I speculate as to our current and future conditions if Henry A. Wallace had been retained as FDR's...

    Biden will not be impeached.

    Within our current political climate, I don't doubt that a majority of Republican house members would vote to impeach President Biden. Why Not? Those congressional members were favored by the same foolish voters that favored Donald Trump in 2016 AND 2020. [In 2016 and again in 2020, the...
