  • Reaganland 2

    Rick Perlstein’s 2020 bestseller Reaganland is a must read for many reasons. First and foremost this 900 or so pages book reads like a novel. Perlstein is that great a storyteller. He covers the rise of the right wing in our nation, focusing from Jimmy Carter’s 1976-1980 presidency to Ronald Reagan’s nomination in 1980. As […]

  • The Numbing Election

    Before radio waves vibrated in Calvin Coolidge’s 1924 campaign, voters had scarce knowledge of candidates in presidential elections. Despite the limited communications, only a few presidents of the United States (POTUS) were disasters and most were more acceptable. The rapid growth of communications brought the faces and words of candidates into everyone’s living rooms; it […]

  • Rep. Max Miller Is Anything But “America First”

    Max Miller is a man of many contradictions. He is a man who presents himself as a “heterodox populist” fighting on behalf of the people of Ohio to “hold Washington accountable” yet, clearly, is beholden to the Republican establishment. In fact, Miller’s positions on important issues are virtually identical to that of George Bush and […]

  • Tim Walz for Veep: Barely Noticed or Noticeable

    While the Kamala Harris coronation for Democratic presidential nomination continues in its safely shielded path, her sacred status among party members growing with each day, the decision to select Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota as Vice Presidential running mate had all the hallmarks of unbearable caution.  Caution for being secure from any ambition on his […]

    Why George Clooney, Peter Welch, and the New York Times, Are Dangerous

    I opposed the invasion of Iraq by Bush in 2003 — which destroyed that country — even before it was perpetrated. George Clooney, Peter Welch, the New York Times, and other liars or fools of liars, did not. I opposed the bombing of Libya by Obama in 2011 — which destroyed that country — even […]

  • Why RFK Jr. Will Announce on Monday He’ll Run as an Independent

    Why RFK Jr. Will Announce on Monday He’ll Run as an Independent

    On September 29, the very pro-Biden Mediaite site headlined and reported with hostility toward RFK Jr., “EXCLUSIVE: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Planning to Announce Independent Run”. Then, on October 4, RFK Jr.’s Presidential campaign announced that on October 9 he “will make a historic announcement in Philadelphia, where he will share a vision of a […]

  • The US is No Democracy!

    I just love it when all the media political pundits and talk show hosts ( News Talk?) throw out that word Democracy. You don’t have to go to a ranch to find more bull excrement than that. Folks, this is not a democracy and probably never was one, all the way back to our founding. […]
