It occurs to me the Republicans in the Senate are going to vote against Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson because she is a black woman. Well not really, that would be racist, but because she is a qualified black woman a Democratic president has nominated to be a Supreme Court justice. Ya know, how can weContinue reading “Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson”

President criticisms
I have seen articles showing various Republican elected representatives critiquing Pres. Biden’s dealing with the war in Ukraine. I guess that is mostly because the president is not on their team, and their team would be doing a better job of it because the president would be Mr. Trump. Gosh, really? After all Mr. TrumpContinue reading “President criticisms”
Election
I wonder if we really have a republic? After all the populace votes for candidates to represent us in various roles of our government, yet now we find it does not count in the case of this presidential election, so maybe we are not a republic, but some sort of weird other thing, partly one,Continue reading “Election”
Victims versus Victors
I wrote an answer to a letter to the editor of the Pecatonica Valley Leader in response to previous letter published 2 July 2020. Editor, I do not want to put your paper in the middle of a debate, but I must answer a letter that you published last week. Hopefully I will haveContinue reading “Victims versus Victors”
“Donald Trump, American Idiot” by Umair Haque
I was happy to read Mr. Fanlund’s article about the American idiot. Before I read that article, I read the one he referenced, “Donald Trump, American Idiot” by Umair Haque. I was surprised at how appropriate the title fit the politics or Pres. Trump, and his followers. But after reading that I went back toContinue reading ““Donald Trump, American Idiot” by Umair Haque”
compensating political activists
I find it slightly hilarious that the protesters carried rifles to the protest. Who do they think they will shoot? But, really, I figure that they are just ‘compensating,’ like Pres. Trump with his sex workers. “They are asserting their rights!” Ya, sure, they are. (wink, wink, nudge, nudge).
Covid-19
I have read Sen. Johnson’s statement on covid-19, and I agree with him to a point. I do disagree about how the president has handled this crisis, but like in the impeachment trial, Sen. Johnson is hard of hearing, and has a poor memory. I do agree that it will be hard to support smallContinue reading “Covid-19”

issues
Since the result of the impeachment trial is a forgone conclusion (hint – it is about making the Donald look great), I will address some other issues. The national debt is out of control, but what does the president care about that. he has been bankrupt before and it did him no harm, so thisContinue reading “issues”
career Foreign Service Officers demonstrate patriotism, professionalism, and integrity in the face of tough questioning from both sides of the aisle and unprecedented personal attacks from the President.
I am sure Sen. Johnson feels that these career diplomats are lying because he does not want the president to be impeached. As he says, “The president is right about whatever he does because he is the president.” Mary, Two years ago, I resigned my commission as a US Foreign Service Officer to run forContinue reading “career Foreign Service Officers demonstrate patriotism, professionalism, and integrity in the face of tough questioning from both sides of the aisle and unprecedented personal attacks from the President.”
