Much ado about nothing, certainly not about governing — Berserk: “violently or destructively frenzied; wild; crazed; deranged” The last time I checked, the reason we elect people to government is to govern, to do positive things for the country, to move us forward as a society. Apparently, not any more. Right now Matt Gaetz, Lauren Boebert and nine other…

The right burns with manufactured righteousness — Look at the daily portraits of the new GOP campaign trail. Every face seems contorted in a crazed look of fear combined with vindictiveness. Now, ask yourself, when is the last time you or anyone you know looked like that? You know, mouth open, eyes burning holes in the world…

I’m sick to death of fake writing — Success porn. What is it? Take a look around. It’s everywhere. People bragging about how they did something and it paid something. If you pay attention, it almost immediately falls to pieces, but, nevertheless, it causes a lot of harm. Why? When we read about someone else doing something stupid…

Readers are what make all this worth it — I’m not going to stretch this out, but this morning I received a few comments thanking me for my perspective and I thought, writing is meaningless without readers. It’s a dialogue about life, good, bad, and weird. After publishing for several years here and a little over a year on…

The potential for deception is off the charts — Most Americans are already sick of divisive political campaigns riddled with negativity and bad Photoshop images. But those are already way behind us. Artificial Intelligence’s abilities put the ability to slander and deceive into the hands of anyone with malice, almost instantly. And to generate and distribute thousands of deceptive…

This is the business of climate change, and it’s bad — Actually they are no longer issuing policies for new homes. In a state with a chronic housing shortage and a median (not average) house price of $850,000, buying a first home or building one could become almost impossible without significant cash. Banks don’t issue mortgages on homes without insurance. State…

Anyone who tells you they know what is going on is full of it — A place on the Ukraine Russia border named Belgorod apparently was invaded last week by a group of Russian dissidents fighting for Ukraine. Belgorod is in Russia and there are multiple military support locations there. Ammo dumps, staging areas, etc. How do I know this? To be honest, I don’t…

DeSantis ignores the real world — Miami is flooding like it’s normal. The water table is saturated. Buildings are on the verge of falling down. Half the state is still recovering from Hurricane Ian. You can’t get home insurance. And if you have it, it won’t pay you to fix your home after a disaster. Sounds…

What are you offering us, Ron? — Governor Ron DeSantis, now officially a candidate for the Presidency in 2024, doesn’t seem to have a clue what being President actually entails. In his very strange announcement interview with equally strange ranger Elon Musk, there was no discussion of policy, issues, or even the debt crisis that may be…
