The Best Mornings Are Those When You Wake up… and, Better Still, When You Remember the Manhattan DA Has Indicted Trump

This is one of the best mornings. Michael Cohen faced a nine-count indictment.This is not about Trump choosing to raw dog a porn star while his wife was pregnant. We have learned that there are 34-counts in Donald Trump’s, still sealed, indictment, and better still, they’re all felonies. These 34-counts are based on falsifying business … Continue reading The Best Mornings Are Those When You Wake up… and, Better Still, When You Remember the Manhattan DA Has Indicted Trump →

We lose 24 months of social security payments… I won’t say that today. I said it a lot yesterday. Not today … Continue reading Dispelling Disinformation →

McCarthy’s Integrity in Exchange for Votes

This is a continuation of my last post, written in the afternoon hours of 1/6. It was after midnight when the 14th attempt to elect a new Speaker of the House ended with the same result as the previous 13. Kevin McCarthy is a historic loser.
