President Joe Biden will soon have his annual physical, but the White House spokesliar says it will not include a cognitive test. And, everyone knows why: Joe doesn’t live here anymore. We know this beyond a shadow of a doubt in a number of different ways. First, we see the decline. Even allowing for what his supporters incorrectly call his “stuttering” disability, he … [Read more...]
Just win, baby
“The only crime is getting caught.” Such were the 1980s ethics of the now-myopically lionized Reagan administration. King Ronald the Vague would have gone to prison over the Iran-Contra arms-for-hostages affair save for one guy: his longtime fixer Edwin Meese. Ronnie appointed Attorney General Meese to investigate his own boss. (Sound familiar?) Meese kept no notes … [Read more...]
Creating Is In The Eye of The Creator
When was the last time you walked the aisles of a craft store? Seeing the little bags of beads and eyes that spin in little plastic bubbles. The embroidery threads and soft, softer, softest yarns, in full rainbow colors. The put together ships in a bottle, or snap-together cars that get better paint jobs than my Chevy. Do you “do crafts.” Plan, look, plan some more then buy six … [Read more...]
Dear Abby: Mother can’t understand why son has walked away
DEAR ABBY: I’ve always been close to my children, but now that they are adults, it seems I’m losing my connection with one of them. He married a girl of a different race, and while that doesn’t bother me, I have a strong hunch she’s the reason he has distanced himself from not only me, but also the rest of the family.

Bonfire of doubts
We’re way beyond stuttering now. After last week’s meltdown on national TV in which President Joe Biden’s diminished mental capacity took center stage, the only way Democrats can keep the White House in 2024 is to cut the old man loose and tee-up somebody – anybody at this late date – to take on Donald Trump. There’s no other way to see it. Americans are passengers in … [Read more...]
Taylor triumphs, T-Rump teed off
The Taylor Swift worldwide football extravaganza was sensational and I am now ready to venture unimpeachable predictions: A century from now, there will be a burgeoning major religion worshiping the pop diva as divinely inspired. And a much smaller cult relegated to the 22nd Century dark web in adoration of Commissar Donaldov of RasPutingrad. Starting a religion is a … [Read more...]
Dear Abby: Child-rearing philosophies clash in new relationship
DEAR ABBY: I have been in a relationship for more than a year. We met at the gym. We have similar interests and are both normally caring and loving to each other. We also have similar senses of humor. We moved in together too quickly, after only six months. Our attempt at blending our kids and families has hit a lot of hard bumps. He is a very assertive and aggressive … [Read more...]
