Yes, an eight-day week. Without 8/7ths times the political news of a typical 7-day week. But I can only work with what comes my way. 1. Kevin Caneco Kicks Off Campaign. I don’t ask for much, just that he not be a rubber-stamp for the developers, and that he not be bankrolled by the developers. […]

Another day, another glitch. I’m thinkin’ solar flares or lunar earthquakes. But, I digress. The press has swarmed on Biden’s age to a degree they rarely have for Trump’s misdeeds. I’m not linking to anything from the pack mentality, which includes beltway Democrats. Suffice it to say that, at some point, the collective press will […]

Cause. Effect.: It is approaching four weeks since a federal appeals court considered Donald Trump’s audacious claim that he should enjoy absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for his actions as president.
