She had a delicate pink cotton dress draped over her slender twenty-fiveish form.  Her hair was short, and her worn running-shoes belied her delicate figure.  She quietly walked over to the table at the outdoor café, Les Tanneurs on Rue Samson.  It was a tranquil setting.  She ordered a bottle of red wine and sat, … Read moreRue De Cinq Diamants

The State Senator from Minnesota, Jerry Relph, just passed away.  He was admitted to the emergency room and diagnosed with Covid.   He died Thursday. When asked, the family spokesman would not attribute his passing to anything in particular. Really.   Even in death . . . Kind of reminds you of the Trumpists who were recently … Read moreThe Stupidity of It Overwhelms . . .

I was always surprised that the Communist party was allowed to run in the elections in Italy, France . . and other places.  It would seem that since they did not believe in the democratic process, it would eliminate them as a viable choice in a democratic election.   I am sure there is more here … Read moreRepublicans Now Worshipping Pagan God

One look at the Republican Party and you can see that this isn’t a political party at all.  It is a cult of criminals who are manipulating the ignorance of middle America into a maelstrom of rascism and hate. And, when they were soundly defeated at the polls, the cult did what all good criminal … Read moreA Cult of Crooks

I have limited my blog writing recently because . . well, how many times can you say that Trump is a scumbag and that the Republican leadership lacks integrity and has lost sight of what a democracy really is.  Well, there, I’ve said it again! I don’t want to bore anyone with the obvious so … Read moreIt’s Not Very Often That Something Special Happens

President Trump continues to push fantasy about the election that he just lost by a whopping 7 million votes.  Yesterday, the CNN commentator quoted Trump: “We will still win it.” . . then the commentator added, ‘even though there is no means for him to do so’. Really?  Claim victory so soon?  There is 44 … Read moreI Hope I Am Wrong

I have been hearing recently that Donald Trump ruined the Republican Party.  That couldn’t be further from the truth. The party had no problem with accepting a bigot, misogynist, a man who willingly and without shame was willing to separate defenseless children as young as a year old from their parents with no way to … Read moreA Bigotry Reveal Party

I can remember the sweet naïve smile of the young waitress as she looked at Nancy and I.  A bright eyed young waiter was just off her left shoulder. They listened to our stories of America, and told us about their dreams of going.  We were in a little café just off the Rue de … Read moreHopes and Dreams at the Champ de Mar

I pulled the nose of the Ercoupe up as high as it could go.  I could see the bottoms of the clouds above, and, for a moment, I was suspended in time. I reached up for the cookie jar that Grandma Nishimura had placed on the top shelf of the cabinet.  She thought it was … Read moreGrandma and The Cookie Monster

There is no question that incompetence and mental incapacity are the reasons Donald Trump will exit the White House in January . . assuming that he doesn’t try something spectacular like a coup (which I wouldn’t put past him).  I am growing more confident each day that the legal system, if not the political system, … Read moreGoing To Heaven Used To Be A Good Thing . . 1428 Yesterday Would Disagree
