Yeah, I know the election results are still in the air, so the coin hasn’t stopped spinning on the ground, yet, but let’s make this Day 1 of talking about how the world can be better, rather than how others are making it worse and, more importantly, start doing things to make it so. Sorry to…
First a note to those who might be newly engaged in politics or have forgotten: It isn’t at all unusually for the media narrative to switch after the votes are in. Thus, whereas before, commentators would say that it might be such a big “red wave” that the Republicans would take the Senate, indicating that…
… no matter how much you lose (or is taken from you) … you will always be able to find moments like this, because they are your relationship with God, and that relationship is eternal.
News out of Georgia adds to the impression that no society that treated the right to vote as sacred would allow no-reason early and mail-in voting: A Cobb County judge extended the deadline for 1,036 absentee ballots because Cobb Elections officials did not send them out to the recipients. The ballots have to be postmarked…
Am I crazy to think it’s just too coincidental that one of the key battleground states for control of Congress is having this sort of unbelievable electoral complication? Some of Pennsylvania’s largest counties were among those working Monday to help voters fix mail-in ballots that have fatal flaws such as incorrect dates or missing signatures…
I just saw a formerly conservative pundit agreeing with an always ridiculous advocate for rule by “experts” that the right is more prone toward and tolerant of violence. I honestly cannot understand how anybody could believe such a thing. I mean, we could maybe have an interesting conversation about tendencies toward what we might call…
One despairs of our ever coming together if we live in two separate realities. Many details of the attack don’t make sense, starting with the fact that the Pelosi’s home is apparently so vulnerable and the fact that calling somebody a “friend” to 911 is apparently a code that we’re all supposed to know, let…
As with myriad issues, many of them related to COVID-19, we’re seeing an instant demand that we accept the approved narrative so zealously that confounding details cannot be considered, with disagreement, or even doubt, being framed in entirely partisan terms. This doesn’t necessarily mean the 180-degree opposite narrative is correct, but it does mean we…
I’m also seeing RI Democrats attempting to raise money with emails saying things like: Ashley Kalus is no imaginary monster … We have to stop her from gaining any power in Rhode Island and trying to drag us back into a terrifying past with less freedom. Remember that the people who write these messages probably…
One person was seeking Justice Kavanaugh with a gun. It is perfectly reasonable to ask, “what about,” now, as progressives and Democrats behave as if an attack on the Speaker of the House’s husband is not only the most outrageous event in recent memory, but also a direct consequence of “MAGA Republican” rhetoric.
