Vladimir Says Thank You!
Actions have consequences. Not always intended. Probably nowhere is that more true than in wartime. It is so easy to make things worse. The United States continues to pummel Iran from the air. Iran doesn’t have the ability to do much in response, but it has managed to close the Strait of Hormuz to shipping. […]
Regime Change
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney can be forgiven if he feels a little bit like he has a target on his back these days. It isn’t his domestic political opponents he has to worry about. Carney has been unequivocal about Canada’s independence. It will not become the 51st US state. Nor will he back down […]
I’m Not There
My curiosity got the better of me. I looked. I never met Jeffrey Epstein. Don’t remember ever hearing his name before his suicide. But with millions of documents being released by the US Department of Justice regarding his legal case, I figured it wouldn’t hurt to check. If you want to see if your name […]
Five Rings of Politics
Does sport transcend politics? Of course not. If the 2026 Winter Olympic Games, which run until February 22, were only about sports we would be praising the accomplishments of the many Russian athletes taking part. But Russia is not allowed to participate, due to its ongoing invasion of Ukraine. That’s politics, but politics in this […]
Only In America
Just in case you are biblically illiterate (as much of the American church seems to be these days), Jesus wasn’t white, wasn’t a racist, didn’t carry a weapon and didn’t endorse political parties as the drawing on the left depicts. He did feed the hungry, as depicted on the drawing on the right. He had […]
Axing Kimmel
The headlines had it wrong. Jimmy Kimmel wasn’t taken off the air for anything he said about Charlie Kirk and his killer. It was his comments about Donald Trump that got him in hot water. When the news story first broke that the late-night talk show host had been taken off the air, I was […]
For Americans Only
If you aren’t American you may be able to figure it out.
I Couldn’t Help It
I laughed when I saw this one. I don’t really care about who Taylor Swift marries – her music does nothing for me. Nor do I care about the NFL. I will never be a “Swiftie.” I figure though that there is so much publicity I don’t need to explain what I am talking about. […]
Sauce For The Goose
The wandering legislators have returned to Texas. The legislature has now passed the law rewriting the 3elctoral map and creating five new electoral districts that will ostensibly deliver five more seats in Congress to the Republicans in the next election. Republicans are hailing it as a triumph for democracy, Or at least for Donald Trump […]
Under The Bus
It’s been more than eight months since Donald Trump said he could end the Russo-Ukraine War in a day. Today in Munich, I mean Alaska, he will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin to push for a deal. Certainly the deal is there to be made, as long as it is on Putin’s terms. If […]
