I had a couple of conversations over the holidays, the first with Superlib and next Conserva-wing. Superlib was introspective, offered me half his plant-based burger, and suggested I wash it down with a Kale smoothie. Me: What do you think of the Biden presidency so far? Superlib: Well, except for...

Back on March 2, President Joe Biden implored the states of Mississippi and Texas not to jump the gun by lifting their mask mandates. “I hope everyone's realized by now these masks make a difference,” Biden told reporters in the Oval Office. “The last thing we need is Neanderthal thinking...
Oh, how I love the British. Adam Boulton of Sky News Tonight interviewed MAGA mouse Erin Elmore, the exec director of USA Strong, following the events at the Capitol, and it was a sight to behold. Boulton’s understated interviewing style seems to have thrown Elmore, whose only two gears appear to...
WASHINGTON (AP) — Debate commission adopts new rules to mute microphones to allow Trump, Biden 2 minutes of uninterrupted time per segment. (Then mikes turn back on & candidates have at it.) Trump will no doubt replicate his gish gallop attacks during the debate trying to force Biden into a...
Maybe we can turn this post into a forum on loving Joe Biden. Like many Democrats, I wasn’t fully onboard with Biden early on, even after he secured the nomination. I mean, there was never a question that I’d vote for him, but I wasn’t getting those warm fuzzies I’d...
Marine props, naturalized citizen props, and tonight it featured a guy charged with insider trading, who also claims that Trump, unlike Bill Clinton, is “the first Black president”. The GOP keeps thinking that if they refer to the pandemic in the past tense, that 180,000 deaths won’t matter as much. ...
< p class=”is-empty-p”> for today’s Washington Post, posted yesterday afternoon, and titled I saw myself in Brayden Harrington’s story of stuttering. He showed us the power of sharing it openly. For the record, Dr. Wen has been a frequent presence on cable tv commenting on aspects of the pandemic. Leana...
Last night, as I watched 13-year-old Brayden Harrington’s inspirational and emotionally wrenching testimony about Joe Biden’s life-changing kindness and caring, born of Biden’s own childhood struggles with stuttering, I was texting with a group of friends — cynics all. We concluded that 1) there will definitely be stuttering “truthers” who believe Biden never...
Mensch — a good old-fashioned Yiddish word. Like most Yiddish, it doesn’t translate all that well, but it basically means someone — man or woman — with a good soul, someone who is open and above all, genuine. Fellow menschen, I give you Joe Biden, Mensch. Biden offers to talk...
I am not a doctor, let me get that straight right off. I do want to talk about what I have learned from speech therapist when my son/grandson was born with a cleft pallet and had not only hearing but speech problems. I also spoke in length to Mel Tillis...
A Trump — a Trump — is making fun of someone else’s speaking prowess. A couple of days ago at a Women for Trump event — which undoubtedly doubles as a Stockholm syndrome support group — Lara Trump, who’s married to one of the twerpy idiots, I forget which, appeared...
While the news media is fretting about Joe Biden’s retelling of a war story, the threat of Donald Trump to the health of sick children is moved to the back burner. While the news media frets about a mistake when Biden gave out a campaign text number, Donald Trump is...
