And in the news…
It takes a lot to make me chortle. Whoever created this meme accomplished that. I used to play this band on the radio back in the early 80s, and hadn’t realized they were still together (or back together). A quick fact check told me that indeed they were on the road this summer, a three-week […]
First Thoughts on the Debate
Did anyone’s mind change? In a polarized country, maybe not. But the debate wasn’t the train wreck we saw in June. Do Donald Trump’s lies matter to Americans? Or enough Americans? If they don’t, he has a shot at winning. I made some notes during the debate. I figure I will share them, as jumbled […]
Another Debate
it seems silly to call tonight’s US presidential debate the most consequential event of the 2024 election cycle, but these days you never know. Unlike the debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump in June, it is unlikely tonight will see either candidate will be forced out of contention due to their performance. Republicans though […]
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 […]
First Debate
Eight years ago he was the underdog, his candidacy somewhat of a joke. He’s still somewhat of a joke, but definitely not the underdog. As the first debate of the 2024 US presidential election gets underway tonight, Donald Trump is the frontrunner. So much so that he won’t bother to show up tonight to face […]
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 […]
Is It Monday Already?
I couldn’t help myself. I watched the American presidential debate last night. That after a day of family activities to celebrate Thanksgiving (which is today here). I figured I would finish the post I had planned for today once the debate was over. But the baseball game between the Texas Rangers and Toronto Blue Jays […]
