Inauguration Day – Looking Back I
Donald Trump is being sworn in today as the 47th President of the United States of America. We’ve been here before. Here’s what I wrote eight years ago today. I think it still has value, even though we know Trump much better now than we did in 2017. There will be protests today, as Donald […]
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 Coronation
Democrats are meeting in Chicago to anoint Kamala Harris as their flag bearer in the 2024 American presidential election. Despite recent polls and record fundraising, I’m not convinced she can beat Donald Trump. Since Harris has replaced Joe Biden as the presumptive nominee there has been a groundswell of support and excitment. It reminds me […]
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 […]
Are These Thoughts Dated?
In June 2016, right after the UK voted to leave the EU, I shared some thoughts about what the Brexit vote would mean for US politics and the upcoming presidential election. Seemed obvious to me, but apparently it wasn’t to the Democrats. Re-reading, I see some Canadian parallels as well. One paragraph in particular struck […]
This Is Amerika
The politicians and commentators wringing their hands at last week’s coup attempt in Washington were for the most part united in their protestation that “this is not America.” They were wrong. This is what America has become. The ideals are there, perhaps, but the reality is a nation divided with no end in sight unless […]
Voting Day – Again
Americans go to the polls today to choose a president. I don’t have a vote, which is just as well since I’m not impressed with the choices. Are you? Four years ago, when Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton, I posted this plea on election day. I was going to write something new today, nothing has […]
The Last Debate
I won’t be watching tonight – it’s a time zone thing. I’ll catch the highlights in the morning. Maybe. Tonight’s second, and last US presidential debate is crucial. The rules have changed. It will be tougher for Donald Trump to talk over Joe Biden like he did in the first debate. And, given social distancing […]
Trump and Funk
I find myself paying more attention to the upcoming American presidential election than I was earlier this year. Is that true for you too? It still seems strange to imagine Donald Trump as President of the United States. It seems as if I ave somehow fallen into some science fiction parallel universe. And you are […]
The Past Repeats Itself
One of the problems with Donald Trump is that you never can be sure he means what he says or believes his own words. Can his most recent musings be taken seriously/ If you remember 2016, Trump suggested before the vote that if he lost the election it was because the results had been rigged. […]
