And 2020 was definitely a year that should be stripped from the history books. The question is, will we remember the things we need to remember? I tend to doubt it. As much as I love Christmas, I have come to hate New Year’s Eve – primarily because I am at that age where I… Continue reading Another year come and gone

We were lucky.
I made this video in the run up to the election. It’s reminder of how truly terrible the current President is and why January 20th, 2021 cannot come soon enough.
A problem made much worse than it needed to ever be.
Andy Slavitt is a former Acting Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), a position he held from March 2015 to January 2017. He is also the founder of the company Health Allies and worked as its CEO until 2003.

The good news and the bad news ( Part 1)
I’ve been holding off posting anything because I wanted to watch the outcome of Trump’s efforts to pull off a coup de etat following the election. I was anxious and am still worried that Trump would try to steal the election and usurp the results to ensure he stays in power. Surprisingly, state officials have… Continue reading The good news and the bad news ( Part 1)
Devoid of human kindness and happiness.
I’ll have several posts up this week commenting on the election and its implications. Celebrating this weekend was awesome – I can’t tell you how much of a weight has been lifted by knowing that the Orange Monster lost the election. (Despite his protestations, this is not 2000, and Trump has clearly lost.) Almost 158… Continue reading Devoid of human kindness and happiness.
Literally, tears of joy and relief!
The mission of this Allied Force was accomplished at 11:25 EST, 07 November 2020. It’s been four LONG years. Years of misery and anger. Years of astonishment watching the norms of American society attacked again and again. Watching worthless slime, like Adolf Eichmann Stephen Miller, commit atrocities and crimes against humanity. Years of watching truly… Continue reading Literally, tears of joy and relief!
Musings on the edge of disaster
I have not slept much in the last couple of days. That comes with repeatedly waking up and hoping that Pennsylvania has been called for Biden and we can send the orange monster on his way to perdition. However I don’t think that is going to happen today and I have to take the S.O.… Continue reading Musings on the edge of disaster
And so, once again we are standing at the abyss……..
I wrote this post 4 years ago on the eve of the election. It’s truly frightening that we are here again. Nothing has really changed- and it’s worth re-reading. That’s where the land of my birth is today. Remember this scene from the end of the movie, Wall Street? That’s a great thought for 2016… Continue reading And so, once again we are standing at the abyss……..
There can be no redemption for this.
A worthless man, you know very little about, achieved his long-stated goal of destroying the United States tonight. That man is Leonard Leo, former head of the Federalist Society: Leonard Leo is on the brink of achieving the goal he has been working toward for decades: a lasting conservative supermajority on the Supreme Court. Almost comically shadowy… Continue reading There can be no redemption for this.
It’s broken all right – they don’t even try to pretend anymore.
Hopefully, you had a chance to read my latest post before this one about how the major machinery of our US government is broken. If you have not, please go here first, then come back and read this post. I’ll wait. Today in the sham that is passing for Senatorial due diligence came a solitary… Continue reading It’s broken all right – they don’t even try to pretend anymore.
