Getting more and more real at Coroanpalooza, the daily press conferences. This was a real Trumpster Fire. A post or two ago I mentioned how the press is getting fed up with all the lies and distortions. Well, the pace is picking up. There is less likelihood that the press will let these pass any longer, and today hit a new milestone. Does the name Jon Karl ring a bell? He is the ABC representative Read more…
I had to read it twice. This was today, mind you. Facebook newsfeed virus related post. An old colleague was asking if anyone had some masks. Someone said sure, and he was sorry. He thought she had some. She said “I never thought it would get to this.” That was jaw-dropping to me. At this late stage, over 40,000 lives lost and on April 21 you decided there might be a problem. Here’s the silver Read more…
In the year 2000 there were a bit over 200,000 soldiers in the Army Reserve. It was a popular choice for those that needed an income supplement, one weekend a month and a longer stint in the summer to be prepared for the unthinkable and maybe provide a little extra money to provide for a vacation or a second car. Looking around it didn’t look like much of a risk. Did anyone really think we Read more…
Today’s Coronapalooza was a complete humiliation for the United States. It is imperative to the President that you believe he has done a great job, that we’ll be open soon, and everything will be safe. His election to another term is entirely dependent on those three perceptions and he will do anything to make that case. You have to have some sympathy for him. This is a very, very hard job as all three things Read more…
Governor Cuomo took the gloves off today, and it was really refreshing. It was like getting rid of all the smoke from an airport smoking room (do they still have them?). He said the most profound thing, the simplest thing in the face of any disaster. He reported that the President felt he had done enough, and Cuomo said no. None of us has done enough, not as long as the virus is still here. Read more…
I have to watch this season of Coronapalooza every day. There’s always a twist and you never see it coming. Where do they get the writers?! So today, the Feds rolled out their new plan to re-open the country to commerce and myrth. It has 3 stages, each getting more permissive of what types of behavior and by how many will be deemed “safe”. Dr. Fauci described Stage 3 as the “new normal”, at least Read more…
The Lincoln Group came out for Joe Biden today. This is a group of former GOP heavyweights that have left the party to the ethically challenged…, well, you just have to see Steve Schmidt, former senior campaign strategist for John McCain in his run for the White House, riff. He’s thoroughly entertaining while intentionally staying as dry as possible. In Michigan the other extreme of the party marched on the State House, some even toting Read more…
Someone must have gotten to him. President Trump essentially declared himself King Trump yesterday at the Coroanapalooza, stating the authority of the President was total, and that’s the way it has to be. This is probably the first time in history that the person that has all the authority over a situation has absolutely no responsibility for it. I’m still trying to reconcile those two statements from POTUS. But today he pulled back, saying that Read more…
Sorry. I had to get away for a little bit. Easter is not my season, but I had no desire to rain on anyone’s faith support system. Suffice it to say that it does not have the same effect on me, so I thought I’d sit it out, for everyone’s sake. Great news today though! The Dictatorship has been established! The President informed us today at his rally that the powers of the President are Read more…
I voted for Bernie. If you have been following this for awhile, I thoroughly discussed the drubbing he took from South Carolina on, and I gave Joe credit for it. I thought it was a political masterstroke, and it worked. In other words, we got beat, and Bernie acknowledged it today. He didn’t quit, he suspended his candidacy, and he made no bones about why in what might be considered one of his greatest speeches. Read more…
