Ask Not What Your Country Can Do for You

Not a fan of the Kennedy family in the least, but I can't help thinking the late JFK would be considered a moderate Republican by modern standards. This infamous quote comes to mind as I think about the refusal of Americans to go back to work without outrageous salary demands for entry level jobs with … Continue reading Ask Not What Your Country Can Do for You →

On National Sovereignty

Poland is determined to protect its border from “attacks by the Belarusian regime," Andrzej Duda, the Polish president, said on Tuesday. Good for this determined gentleman; wish we had this guy in our corner. He's getting an enormous amount of criticism from the liberal press for this: (This was posted several days ago but Microsoft … Continue reading On National Sovereignty →

Can Trump be re-elected in 2024?

My husband and I are joined at the hip regarding politics so he shocked me last night when he expressed concern that the American version of the CCP and even moderate Republicans will prevent the Don from regaining the WH. I'd really appreciate some feedback on this topic from all of you highly intelligent members … Continue reading Can Trump be re-elected in 2024? →

Turning Back the Clock

This is my least favorite time of year because sundown at 4-5 p.m. is depressing. I live in Florida and would love to live in 24 hour sunlight! In the meantime, this is a ridiculous and outdated policy. We no longer live in a primarily agricultural society and I do wonder why the EPA couldn't … Continue reading Turning Back the Clock →

Well, well, well ... suburban women finally came through for the GOP tonight! The title refers to a group of 27,000 'soccer moms' who campaigned throughout Virginia to help elect Glenn Youngkin. In his acceptance speech just now, he hit all the right buttons- 20 new charter schools, parental involvement in school curricula, investment in … Continue reading Women for Glenn →

Memories…

The Biden administration has just settled 4,000 illegal immigrant children in NY public schools at the cost of $20k per student funded by guileless taxpayers. This reminds me of the mid-70s busing crisis in Detroit when there was every possibility I would be bussed to the ghettos and separated from my first class suburban public … Continue reading Memories… →

An Addendum to SNL Post

Here we are on the morning after my contretemps last night and we've just had brunch with my interior decorator (of whom I am quite fond) and her husband who is a professor at FSU. I've never met him before but I've heard enough from my academic pal MLR to know I should avoid political … Continue reading An Addendum to SNL Post →

Saturday Night Live

Tonight, as we were driving to dinner, we pulled up next to a Lincoln Navigator with the following bumper stickers on both the fender and the back window: "I'm proud to be a Democrat. I support Joe Biden." It was a very pleasant day so we had the top down on our convertible. My husband … Continue reading Saturday Night Live →

Random Observations

The state of affairs in America couldn't be worse. I thought the Carter administration was destructive but as my husband reminded me, we, as a country weren't quite used to such incompetency so we paid a high price in the 70s - a recession. Here's a positive note that I've noticed in the market and … Continue reading Random Observations →
