Voting Day Prediction
I’ve never done it before, but tonight I expect to watch the returns in the US midterm elections. Some of them anyway. Even though I don’t have a vote. I am curious as to the outcome. Mostly, I want to see if my gut feeling about this election is correct. According to all the polls, […]
The Day Before
Money talks. Should it? Is anyone listening? Americans go to the polls Tuesday to elect a third of the US Senate and all 435 members of the House of Representatives. Campaign spending has hit record amounts, billions of dollars. Political advertising alone has crossed the $11 billion mark. And there are lots of expenses besides […]
Trash Talk
In the absurdity of Donald Trump’s trade war with Canada, one item stands out as making sense. He has put a tariff on Canadian garbage. You probably didn’t know that we exported garbage to the US. Turns out is is a fair sized business. And what do Americans do with Canadian garbage? They bury it […]
Electoral Interference – II
This post may be outdated by the time you read it. It was completely rewritten once already. The original mocked Donald Trump for ordering the Justice Department to prevent the certification of the Alaska Senatorial election should the Republican candidate lose. Such an attempt to interfere in the race before the votes were cast was […]
Electoral Interference – I
The words mean different things to different people, but there is no doubt Donald Trump is against electoral interference. Unless he is the one doing the interfering. He recently suggested Canada and Canadians were trying to influence the outcome of the US midterm elections that are taking place next week. He seemed quite upset about […]
Meet The Press
Turns out being blonde and female are not sufficient qualifications. Donald Trump has dumped his press secretary, after five days on the job. As someone who went to law school she should have known better than o misrepresent herself to the media. Has she never heard of fact checking? I suppose she could have lied. […]
Bad Timing
Joni Mitchell has become an American citizen, after living in the US since the mid 1960s. Somehow it seems like a betrayal. She is a Companion of the Order of Canada. She has an entry in The Canadian Enyclopedia. She just received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Junos (the Canadian equivalent to the Grammy […]
Reading The Polls
Cleaning up my email this week I found this from November 2024, right after Donald Trump recaptured the White House, that I forgot to post. Life happens sometimes. There’s a certain timeless relevance to the message, so I am going with it today, with updates in italics. One of the regulars here asked about finding […]
Diesel Prices
Donald Trump has made his deal with the devil in the hopes of lowering American diesel prices. It remains to be seen whether Vladimir Putin’s promise brings lower prices at the pump before the American midterm elections. Is this a cynical move on Trump’s part just weeks after expanding sanctions against Russia’s oil and gas […]
American Pornography
No one expects Donald Trump to be consistent, And no-one should be surprised as the USA descends into barbarism in its attempt to emulate the world’s worst human rights offenders. Those well known democracies, North Korea and Iran perform public executions of those convicted of crimes under their laws. Donald Trump has spoken out against […]
