7 takeaways from the Presidential Debate
Donald Trump and Joe Biden (or should that be Joe Biden and Donald Trump?) squared off in the first presidential debate of the 2024 election cycle. So much has been said since Thursday, but I wanted to let the dust settle a little to see what I thought of the notes I took while the […]
No Clinton This Time
On this Flashback Friday we return to a post from June 28, 2016. Remember Brexit? It seems like so long ago. In the USA Donald Trump was challenging Hillary Clinton for the presidency, and all the experts said Clinton would win. She should have, but her team and party got complacent. Can you see that […]
Will It End Tonight?
They aren’t even officially nominated by their parties as presidential candidates, but you could argue that tonight’s U.S. presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump is make or break time for both men. For Trump, it is an opportunity for a reset. His recent publicity has been mostly bad. Felony convictions really don’t help […]
Color Me Confused
When Donald Trump was convicted on felony charges a couple of weeks ago his supporters were outraged. The justice system is rigged they claimed. As they see it, Trump, despite being convicted by a jury of his peers, did nothing wrong. It the Democrats coming up with bogus charges and weaponizing the justice system for […]
Saturday’s Thought
Did you say “yes!” when you read this? I must admit I did. But then I thought maybe that was a simplistic response to a complex issue. There are politicians I wouldn’t trust as far as I can throw them – and I’m a natural weakling. But there is so much more to government than […]
He Wants My Money
The last “guilty” verdict had barely been read out on Thursday before Donald Trump sent me an email asking me for money. He says he is a political prisoner and that his trial was rigged. Funny how everything that doesn’t go his way is rigged. He insists he did nothing wrong. The jury that heard […]
The Consequence
Welcome to Flashback Friday, a look back at this space from past years. Today’s post first ran eight years ago today, April 26, 2016. Anyone with half a brain could have seen it coming. That no-one did is probably because there were politicians involved. A couple of years back the Ontario government decided that sick leave […]
November Is Coming
Yes, it is seven months away, but I have ben thinking about the American presidential election. Mostly I have been wondering what can be done to fix a broken system. Technically there is nothing wrong with the way Americans elect a president. The system has worked for more than 200 years, with a peaceful transition […]
Was It A Mistake?
Another unfinished post, this one from August 2021. I realize I have several pandemic-related posts that I didn’t finish, for one reason or another. COVID-19 dominated public consciousness like nothing else in my lifetime, It still shows up in the headlines fairly frequently. In many countries, the rate of people getting vaccinated against COVID-19 has […]
Food For Thought
Another partially finished post from the archives today. I wrote the words in italics in June 2021. I’ll finish the thoughts once you’ve read what I wrote then. Once upon a time there was a pandemic. Millions of people got sick all around the world. A few million of those died. I know you were […]
