From the usually right-wing WSJ Editorial Board: "We’ve courted Mr. Trump’s ire by calling the Mexico and Canada levies the “dumbest” in history, and we may have understated the point. " www.wsj.com/opinion/trum...

Why has none of the written press on today’s meeting mentioning the lather he got into about old scores, including H. Biden’s laptop. Which Z declined to help the felon investigate. This is a man who holds grudges. He never intended to provide aid to a man who wouldn’t bow down to him.

So to be on the hunt for DEI hires…. Does that just mean that if someone is not white or male, they must have been a DEI hire? The only ATC person I know (now retired) is a black female and I’d be so pissed if I were her. This is the Time Machine back to the 1950s administration.

I’ve been watching a lot of West Wing the last few weeks (just hit Season 5). This is probably my fourth time through over the years. So many poignant moments in light of the last nine days.

I went to a tribal casino last night. Flashback to 1980s nightlife - a cigarette smoke-filled hellscape. Nothing there was appealing to me on any level. Thunder from Down Under was fun if completely out of my normal activity set.

Well, daylight savings time is over (huzzah for not walking to my bus in the dark for a bit). Time to put up my fake trees in the house for winter ambiance!
