No, Americans did not vote for fascism
The post mortem continues, with the Inquirer headlining, in the print edition, a story , “Why voters rejected Dems’ fascism warnings.” I’ll summarize the story this way: Voters cared more about the economy than democracy. That’s the Inquirer’s take, speaking for hard Left, Democratic bed-wetters. Mine is that

What Trump’s victory is telling Democrats
Has Tom Hanks packed his bags yet? No, because the report that he would leave America if Donald J. Trump won was satire. But there was a long list, even back in 2016, of American assholes entertainers who would rather switch than fight. None of those deep thinkers left. Not

Well, in lieu of a decision, read this
With 72% of Americans feeling the nation is on the “wrong track,” and Vice President Kamala Harris’ favorable ratings lower than whale shit six months ago, it is miraculous that she was tied with former President Donald J. Trump. Given that he is a convicted felon, guilty of sexual assault,

My presidential indecision ends here
On his Friday HBO show, Bill Maher addressed the few remaining “undecideds,” such as me, whom he called “those curious few, bisexuals of the political world.’ It’s OK. He’s a comic. I can take a joke. Then he addressed people like me directly. “You obviously don’t like

Kamala does a 75-minute standup routine
Thirty-two supposedly undecided voters gathered in Aston to hear Kamala Harris try to win them over. I am undecided. Partially. I am decided against Donald J. Trump, but not in favor of Kamala. I don’t know about the 32, but she moved me in her direction. She was calm,

A press conference I wish Kamala Harris would give Good morning. I called this rare press conference in order to address an important issue to all of us, and when I say all of us, I mean me. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. You haven’t heard that laugh for

It’s checkmate as Kamala plays chess on Fox News
If you tuned into Fox News for a big helping of word salad, you left hungry. Vice President Kamala Harris sat coolly, calmly, and turned away all of the sometimes hostile questions from anchor Bret Baier, who interrupted her at least a dozen times, which is uncharacteristic of him. I

What are Kamala Harris’ core values?
It’s not in my nature to be indecisive. A bad decision is better than no decision. Maybe I am making one here, about the presidential election three weeks from today. My mail-in ballot has been sitting on my desk, all filled in, except for the choice for President. That

A friendly game of dodgeball
For me, the highlight of Tuesday night’s one-and-only vice presidential debate was when each admitted he was kind of a schmuck. This was a highlight in relief from a 90-minute game of dodgeball played by a couple of serious, courteous men trying to be liked by the folks at

Monkeyshines at U Penn
You’ve got to wonder about “science” that puts its weight behind an experiment to determine if monkeys looking at pictures of candidates can predict an election’s outcome. A story carried in the Daily Mail says the idea may seem ludicrous, but . . . No, stop right there. It is ludicrous

A Swiftie, me, talks about Taylor’s low ratings in PA
“I am a Swiftie,” my 30ish restaurant server was surprised to hear me say, after the meal had concluded and we were having a brief chat, which was joined by a couple of other young women standing nearby. “What’s not to like?” I asked. A couple of days later
