“Winning is merely a precursor; what is of most importance is what happens afterward.” In my early years, I voted for a Party’s candidates based on their Platform.

I hope this will be the last word I write about the character flaws of the Vice President Nominee, Tim Walz, the Governor of Minnesota. This topic is distracting when we have minimal time to concentrate on the country’s issues and the candidate’s policies. The problem with comparing policies and platforms is that we only ...

The crown jewel of endorsements for any woman on the enemy camp candidate slate is from what a family member refers to as “That B****,” but there’s so many of them. Therefore clarification is in order and it’s Hillary. Instead of aligning with Annie Kuster and endorsing Colin Van Ostern (CVO), Hillary chose Goodlander, and ... Read more
Former Democrat State Senator Jeff Woodburn has been back in the news for trying to dodge a 30-day stint in stir. That was not (it seems) enough drama for him. He took a little trip to Maine, where he coincidentally found himself within shouting distance of his former fiancé. The woman whose arm he bit, ... Read more
After more than 50 years, Joe Biden is finally leaving the political scene. It’s something both Republicans and Democrats wanted but for different reasons. Republicans have always seen him as a weak politician without convictions or scruples, compromised by foreign adversaries, and suffering from increasing mental confusion.
