Trump 2.0
We’ve had almost two weeks to get used to the idea. Take a deep breath. It is only four years. Which admittedly may seem like an eternity if Donald Trump is unrestrained and follows through on all of his promises. But what will a Trump presidency look like the second time around? Trump had to […]
Revisiting Election Day
November 8, 2016, eight years ago today, was a Tuesday. It was also Election Day in the USA. So it makes sense that in this election year, we look back for Flashback Friday. In 2024 I still think the US needs to fix the system, that the way they choose their leader isn’t working. That’s […]
The Biggest Loser
Tuesday’s American presidential election had more than the usual share of losers, starting with Kamala Harris and the American people. Mind you, given that Donald Trump won the popular vote, there are a lot of people who wouldn’t see it that way. The American economy is probably a loser, if Trump follows through on his […]
Prediction Time
I think Donald Trump will win the US presidential election. I’m going with my gut on this one. In theory no Republican should ever be elected to the top job in the USA – the Democrats have a considerable numerical advantage. But the Republicans have learned how to leverage their numbers and make sure their […]
He Wants My Vote
Donald Trump has emailed me three times today, despite my repeated pleas to take my name off his list because I’m not an American. He just doesn’t listen. I imagine there will be more emails tonight and Tuesday. He also asked me to make a campaign donation. He didn’t specify what the money was for, […]
Bought And Paid For
My American friends. You have a presidential election this Tuesday. No matter who you vote for, they won’t be putting your interests first. That’s because the USA has few, if any, restrictions on how much money you can donate to a political candidate. Yes, they will take your $10 donation, but if you have $100 […]
One Week To Go
The US presidential election is one week from today. Though, given the closeness, it may be a while before we find out the winner. That’s what happens in a close race. The winner of this year’s British Columbia provincial election was not immediately apparent on election night. in fact, it was more than a week […]
Really?
It isn’t that many years ago that we looked to the best and brightest of our society to lead us, men and women of integrity with a passion to serve. How did we get to this?
First Thoughts on the Debate
Did anyone’s mind change? In a polarized country, maybe not. But the debate wasn’t the train wreck we saw in June. Do Donald Trump’s lies matter to Americans? Or enough Americans? If they don’t, he has a shot at winning. I made some notes during the debate. I figure I will share them, as jumbled […]
Another Debate
it seems silly to call tonight’s US presidential debate the most consequential event of the 2024 election cycle, but these days you never know. Unlike the debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump in June, it is unlikely tonight will see either candidate will be forced out of contention due to their performance. Republicans though […]
