Two weeks to go. The desperation and fear is growing. Covid is not only sickening and killing thousands of people every day, it looks like it’s going to be fatal to Trump’s re-election. I know it’s not over, until it’s over, but Trump has now finally gone all out after his nemesis, Dr. Anthony Fauci.

Just when we thought it couldn’t get any crazier, it did. It was a week ago tonight that President Trump tweeted that he and the First Lady tested positive for Covid 19. This after he returned from a private fund raiser at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey after he found out that Hope

It was a live American horror show. Three and half years of the Trump madness spewing out for the most frightening 90 minutes in the history of presidential politics, We’ve seen and heard it all on a daily basis for so long, we’ve grown exhausted and numb. Last night’s presidential debate wasn’t really a debate,

This was a sad and frightening week in a year that’s had more weeks that were once thought unimaginable. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg lost her gallant fight against cancer in hopes of outlasting the Trump presidency. There couldn’t be two people more different.

The contrast between Biden and Donald Trump couldn’t be sharper. The Democrats are painting the election as a race between a good, decent guy, who grew up in a

They come around every year, the Dog Days of Summer. The hot, sultry days that are supposed to be days at the beach, in the mountains, picnics, barbecues, trips to national parks, even to Europe, going to a ball game, looking forward to football in a few weeks, and squeezing the fun out of the

A friend of mine died suddenly a few days ago. I had played golf with him just two weeks earlier and he seemed fine. A couple days after we played, he went into the hospital and needed some serious surgery. A couple of days after the surgery, he died from complications. The unexpected suddenness of

In the last few days, we all started hearing about Juneteenth and the Tulsa, Oklahoma massacre and burning of a prosperous black section of the city 99 years ago. They are two unrelated historical events brought together by a president who doesn’t understand history or the racial tension and reckoning that has been boiling over

How did we get here? It seems every day we are suffering another convulsion. Many think it started at the beginning of the year from hell with the coronavirus. China’s deception. Our country’s leaders’ incompetence. Let’s not deal with it and it will go away. Suddenly we were locked in our homes, millions out of
