It’s Time To Go
Dear Joe, I hate that I feel I have to write you this letter, but you need to hear the truth, and it seems you need to hear it from multiple sources. I want to thank you for your years of dedication and public service. In 2020 you were probably the only Democrat who could […]
Who Needs Trump?
As Canada celebrates it’s 157th birthday today, thoughts are still turning to the American presidential election and its potential influence on our political future. The missing word from the June 27 US presidential debate was Canada. Neither candidate mentioned America’s neighbor to the north. We Canadians are used to being ignored by American politicians. Most […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Is It All Over?
Well that was anti-climactic. Despite his opponents spending hundreds of millions of dollars to defeat him, Donald Trump has apparently locked up the Republican Party nomination for this year’s American presidential election. It isn’t usually over after the first primary, but such is the state of the Republican Party. And indeed of America. Now Trump’s […]
The Winner
The American presidential election campaign kicks into high gear today with the Iowa Caucus. The winners are basically predetermined, al three of them. Americans, having grown up in the system, instinctively understand the difference between a caucus and a primary, the form most states use to choose party delegates to a presidential nominating convention. If […]
Three Years Later…
The true believers continue their crusade. It really does defy logic. I noticed on Twitter (the social media site that no-one calls X) that an author I used to respect was posting “data” showing how the 2020 US presidential election was stolen. In this case it was 17,000 dead people voting in Michigan. Maybe I […]
