7 More Debate Takeaways
Joe Biden and Donald Trump faced off against each other Thursday night in the first US Presidential debate of 2024. Did you watch? Did anything said change your mind about the men and their candidacies? Yesterday I mentioned a few tings that struck me. Today a few more. Tomorrow and the day after that I […]
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 […]
What Comes To Your Mind?
Whatever came to your mind first probably says something about you. I’ll admit it – when I saw this on X, my first thought was “a Trump supporter.” Which amused me when I noticed that the first comment on the post said “a Democrat.” So much is about perception. I could also have suggested those […]
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 […]
Weasel Words
I had CNN in the background while I was making dinner (I haven’t yet figured out how to change TV channels where I’m staying this week.) and was struck by the wording of one of the stories. The anchor referred to the paying of hush money by Donald Trump to a porn star with whom […]
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 […]
Martian Real Estate
Today’s Flashback Friday post comes from February 16, 2016. They say real estate is always a good investment; the price of land always goes up. So maybe I shouldn’t pass on the offer. From what I can see the property does have pretty much limitless potential. But investing in anything always carries with it a […]
