Profiles in Cowardice

Republican politicians have been enabling Trump since day one of his Presidency. His statements before and during his Presidency have now totaled 29,508 false and misleading claims. (Washington Post and Fact Checker) But for some reason, this hasn't made a bit of difference to his followers or Republican lawmakers. For any other person running for office, something like the Access Hollywood tape would finish them. But not Trump. His hold on some of the American public was something not seen in politics often. Seditious Arizona Representatives who should be removed: David Schweikert, Paul Gosar, Andy Biggs, and Debbie Lesko. [...]

Ward and Finchem Disgrace Themselves With Reactions to the Trump Coup Attempt

It is time for members of the Arizona Republican Party to decide what people they want to lead them. This article first appeared on the Blog for Arizona. In their reactions to the attempted insurrection by Trumpist mobs at the nation's capital, current Republican Party Chair Kelli Ward and Legislative District 11 State Representative Mark Finchem disgraced themselves and clearly showed that they should not be entrusted with any leadership positions. Check out Ms. Ward's social media posts on Twitter yesterday (January 6, 2021.) These examples especially stand out. https://twitter.com/kelliwardaz/status/1346917946170306563 This is simply horsesh*t. What could have prevented [...]

Remember the GOP Plot Against Obama

Two writers recently had letters published in the Arizona Daily Star where one claimed Biden could destroy the country, while the other whined that Trump didn't deserve all the hate. One writer claimed Biden won because his voters hated Trump while ignoring his accomplishments. But of course, both writers completely forgot what Trump said in the past about President Obama and how the Republican Party from day one set out to destroy Obama's Presidency and make him a one-term President. The letter writer who claimed Trump didn't deserve all the hate conveniently forgot how many times Trump claimed the "birther" [...]

Trump’s Concession Speech We All Deserve

The Damage from an Incompetent, Devious, and Ambitious President

Commander Covid created the current period of uncertainty with his inability to understand that he lost the election and his desperate attempts to torque the outcome to his favor. In contrast, President-elect Joe Biden wishes to let bygones be bygones and "move forward" in the country's interests, unbound from partisan interests. I may overstate his benevolence toward the opposition, but I believe this is a dangerous approach if not moderated by reality. Over the past four years, Commander Covid and his minions have tried to manage the government, reward their friends, punish their enemies, and look after their personal financial [...]

Acceptance Speech of President-Elect Joseph Biden

November 7, 2020 "My fellow Americans, the people of this nation have spoken. They have delivered us a clear victory. A convincing victory. A victory for 'We the People.' We have won with the most votes ever cast for a presidential ticket in the history of this nation - 74 million. I am humbled by the trust and confidence you have placed in me.

“The Ballots” May Save Us From The Madness of this Trump Administration

You may recall the president’s (AKA Commander Covid) fevered rant a few weeks ago about “the ballots” being rife with corruption, stolen votes, imaginary voters, and other outrages. He fabricates that they are all perpetrated by sinister Democratic sympathizers including, of course, Black Lives Matter and Antifa. Well, it seems like the abuse and corruption didn’t amount to too much beyond some misplaced absentee ballots in one county in central Pennsylvania that was an honest mistake easily corrected. But the commander’s “ballots” rants continue to roil on through: Suspect USPS slowdowns The location of and numbers of drop-off sites organized [...]

Share “Go From There” Biden Video with Your Friends

This Biden/Harris Campaign Ad, released during Game One of the World Series, may be one of the best closing ads in recent Presidential Campaign History. Called “Go from There,” this ad, narrated by actor Sam Elliot, shows a majestic and panoramic view of the American Landscape. Elliot, with the music of the Star-Spangled Banner playing in the background and video clips of Joe Biden mingling with voters, states: “There is only one America. No Democratic Rivers. No Republican Mountains. Just this great land and all that’s possible on it with a fresh start. Cures we can find. Futures we can [...]

Arizonans are hurting. Here’s My Plan To Help Them As President

Right now, far too many of Arizonans’ lives have been turned upside down. More than 220,000 have been infected with COVID-19. Nearly 6,000 have died, missing from our lives forever. There are at least 234,000 fewer jobs in Arizona as a result of this pandemic, and nearly one in five small businesses have shuttered. Cruelest of all, it didn’t have to be this way. I met Silvana Salcido Esparza, an award-winning chef, last week in Phoenix. She told me that her restaurant, Barrio Café, is hanging on by a thread. To keep her 10 employees on payroll, she had to cancel her own health [...]

The New York Times Indictment of Donald Trump

I was sorting out this past week’s outrages from TrumpWorld when a New York Times editorial dropped into my in-box on Friday, and it hit me, I could do no better than to amplify its message. If you haven’t seen it, you should. It is the complete answer to support our call to oust this person and his corps of sycophants and enablers from City halls and statehouses all the way up to the U.S. Capitol. It’s entitled “End Our National Crisis, The Case Against Donald Trump.” This is more than a ringing endorsement of the Biden-Harris ticket, which one [...]
