The Seven Democrat Dwarfs were on full display at their debate last week. The event turned out to be raucous, tumultuous, and chaotic. Even the moderators were flabbergasted at the constant over-shouting and disregard for the time limits. Once again, the candidates showed their true colors. It is impossible for anyone to take them seriously as standard bearers for their … [Read more...]
Post marital dating rules
He meets her in a swirl of passion, limerence, best intentions, human hope and perhaps a wee small dram of beverage alcohol. The relationship takes off like a rocket on Fourth of July, where it explodes and crackles in brilliant colors beneath the firmament of their hearts. A week later he meets her little girl, too. Age five. The man is not a father, and certainly not the … [Read more...]
Bernie or Bust, Dolores a Must
The impervious cycles of American history predicted a 2016 Republican victory as I wrote in February of that year with 17 candidates in the GOP race and Donald Trump a joke. They likewise predict a Democratic win this November. As the old saying goes, Democrats don’t win elections, Republicans lose them. The Elephantines are well on their way. But the capacity for snatching … [Read more...]
Federal Spending by Both Parties must be Reined in
There is always one issue on which both parties in Washington never fail to agree — more and more spending. President Trump’s proposed 2021 fiscal year budget of $4.8 trillion includes a deficit of $1 trillion dollars, almost double the deficit for the Obama administration’s final year in office, but the squawking isn’t about the deficit and the mounting national debt. It … [Read more...]
Nevada State and Local Taxes Already too Regressive
In this presidential election year there has been an ongoing and vigorous debate, nay, a knock-down-drag-out fight over the question of whether the wealthy pay their fair share of federal taxes. There is ample ammo for both sides of that argument. But when it comes to state and local taxes there is no debate. The tax data from nearly every state shows those tax practices are … [Read more...]
Democratic Debacle
So far, 2020 has been a series of missteps by the Democrat Party. First there was their failed almost yearlong phony impeachment, second was their Iowa caucus fiasco, third was their disastrous debate in Las Vegas. It is hard to determine which self-inflicted wound was the worst. In the Vegas debate the two female candidates showed their vicious sides when Warren went after … [Read more...]
Divorce is hell … but
The best, most justifiable divorce is hell. It goes downhill from there in a big hurry. Which is why I admire people who can negotiate that hell with honor, justice and equity. To do that, of course, requires one thing above all else: We cannot allow our sadness to arc into vengeance. A divorce is a funeral. Not a war. The work of divorce is grief. Not poisoning wells. Not … [Read more...]
Czars Donaldov & Nixon win Democratic Caucus
“When your enemy is destroying himself, never interfere.” * I’m certain that King Donald never read Napolean but Richard Nixon certainly did and Trump is doing a pretty good imitation. Nixon’s racist divide-and-conquer southern strategy, upon which he hung the euphemism “law and order,” broke the Democratic base electing an re-electing him. Trump has long been doing … [Read more...]
