  • In My House, Trump Got Trumped by a Galette

    In My House, Trump Got Trumped by a Galette

    Last night I tried to watch Trump’s speech on China and election security. I made it about four minutes in before I gave up and watched a YouTube video on how to make a strawberry rhubarb galette instead (Try it, it looks delicious). This should tell you more about this speech than the speech itself.…

  • Happy Birthday America!

    Happy Birthday America!

    This July 4th, Americans celebrate the 250th anniversary of our independence. Our country is young. It’s odd to think that my life, at age 59, represents almost 24% of the entire existence of the United States.

    Every four years we’re told the FIFA World Cup is the ultimate competition between nations. Commentators talk about national pride and countries battling for global supremacy. In reality, these teams have very little connection to the countries whose names appear on the jerseys. According to The Observer in the UK, nearly one-quarter of players in…

  • From Burdensome Bidenomics to the Don’s Devaluation, we’re in trouble

    From Burdensome Bidenomics to the Don’s Devaluation, we’re in trouble

    Four years of Biden felt like an eternity. From the brainless lockdowns (started by Trump but bolstered by Biden), to the rapid inflation that followed the enormous injection of cash into our system (again started by Trump and bolstered by Biden), and the crushing regulations that threatened to kill free speech and industry (that was…
