Drift or Focus?  Which would you choose?  Hey, don’t get twisted up over this.  Both are okay.  It just depends on where you are in your life.

What is your worst nightmare?  Donald Trump running for president again in 2024?  That’s your worst nightmare?  Close, but not quite.

We lived as if this day would never come… ..…but now the end is near. Know that I love you with all my heart… ..…That I love you forever and a day. And when that final moment begins… …..the one that lasts, almost, forever. Take my love to strengthen you… ..…until that moment, finally, ends.

Confrontation …. Hostility …. Anger!  We live in a world where contentious encounters seem to be part and parcel of everyday life.  It is true.  Emotions like these have a way of slamming you when you least expect it.  Consider the following three examples.

Waaaa, waaaa!  I can’t get what I want, so I am going to hold my breath until I turn blue. Or I could just change the rules of the Senate and get rid of the filibuster. Filibuster……Kill it or keep it?  That is the debate roiling Washington today. The “Filibuster” is a legislative maneuver employed to prevent a bill from

The Doctor is in the house.  The diagnosis is clear.  You are suffering from acute “PPPSD.”  That would be Presumptive Partisan Politics Syndrome Disorder. The New England Journal of Quackery defines PPPSD as “the propensity to automatically assign partisan malfeasance to any position taken by the other party.  This condition makes any rational or objective analysis totally impossible, thus rendering

The Democrats and Republicans were playing high stakes political poker. The Democrat opened the betting with one Bernie Sanders.  The Republican looked at his cards and said, “I’ll see you and raise a Resurgent Trump.” With a sly grin, the Democrat responded, “I’ll see you with an Elizabeth Warren plus an Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.” The Republican realized that he could not
