• Trump can win on character, just ask the editor-in-chief of The National Review, by Hal Brown, MSW

      2024 election,, Trump

      Or as Elizabeth Warren said at the DNC about Trump and Vance, “shoot, I wouldn’t let these guys, I wouldn’t trust them to move my couch.” If Trump could be honest he’d say it about himself. This brings me to the subject of Trump’s character. Rich Lowry (see profile), the editor-in-chief of The National Review, wrote about Trump in this NY…

          Generated by PhotoAI I got the idea for this after I read Maureen Dowd’s New York Times column (subscription): Daffy Donald, Turning Pea Green With Envy.She doesn’t even use the word “envy” in her column and the photo used to illustrate it suggests smug arrogance and it doesn’t convey the envy which hopefully my AI created…

          • Good people and bad people: No one at the DNC will call Trump supporters a basket of deplorables. Many of them are. By Hal Brown, MSW

              When she was running for president Hillary Clinton used the term “basket of deplorables” to describe some Trump supporters and although it may not have cost her the election it certainly didn’t help.  It prompted numerous poltical cartoons from both sides: The description was adopted by ordinary Trump supporterr who could buy t-shirts and stickers…

                Watch video of when Bunk met McNcNulty here. Click for Pierce’s X page. William “Bunk” Moreland is a fictional character in The Wire, played by Wendell Pierce. Bunk’s character is based on a retired Baltimore detective named Oscar “The Bunk” Requer. He is portrayed as a generally competent, if profane and curmudgeonly detective. Like his best friend Jimmy McNulty, he also has problems related to infidelity and alcohol abuse,…

              • If you can’t stand to watch Trump check out his words to see how unhinged and possibly demented he is. By Hal Brown, MSW

                  Read transcript here. I saw clips of Trump’s Wilkes-Barr, PA  rally speech from yesterday. He sounded more unhinged than usual. I heard indications that his mental condition is deteriorating. I thought he was showing signs of dementia. I wanted to write about some of what he said but had trouble finding a transcript. Then I…

                • Trump is trying to justify comparing the Medal of Freedom to the Medal of Honor but his people still let a man with a PTSD t-shirt stand behind him at his rally, by Hal Brown, MSW

                    This may not provoke the VFW to weigh in again on Trump demeaning those who won the Medal of Honor for heroism, but it still shows a lack of awareness in those who select the “lucky” people to get to stand behind Trump at a rally. This particular t-shirt is available from several retailers: Trump’s…

                      A President Trump who will no doubt implement the democracy destroying Project 2025 he is staggeringly dangerous.  A defeated candidate Trump may not be as dangerous, but he is still extremely dangerous.

                    • Is Trump’s Medal of Freedom and Medal of Honor comparison merely asinine, or it it a sign of desperation or dementia? By Hal Brown, MSW
