A political blog
Good morning, kids. My moods and gut instincts about next November are for sure ephemeral but one thing is for sure. It’s going to be lit. 11 months is both an eternity and just around the corner in electoral politics. But as of this moment, Biden or no Biden, and I think Trump or no…
Good morning, kids. There are a number of things popping this morning that are each worthy of their own editorial. Alas, the Ace “quick hits” thing is not really my style, so I shall endeavor to hit upon a theme and attempt to weave the other stories in, hopefully in some sort of coherent fashion….
Good morning, kids. While the meat of today’s links is about the Iowa Caucuses and what they mean going forward, there’s a potential, heh, “Mexican standoff” brewing down in Texas between that state and the Junta in DC that has major ramifications for the nation, or whatever the nation will become going forward. Whatever one…
Good morning, kids. Somewhere in the back of my mind I thought there was the possibility of a surprise in Iowa, most likely because of global warming sending temperatures low enough to freeze a penguin’s cloaca shut and keeping caucus goers home or more importantly, latent, unidentified Trump fatigue propelling DeSantis, Ramaswamy or God-forbid Haley. …
Good morning, kids. Today is the official federal holiday commemorating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday, which unlike many, for once falls on his actual birthday. For sure, he had his faults and his flaws like any other human being, but his core beliefs and what he fought for, and the ways of nonviolence that…
Good morning, kids.

He also ordered all patriotic Americans to burn their Hootie and the Blowfish records as a sign of national unity…
Good morning, kids. In yesterday’s editorial about the outraged parents of Brooklyn’s Madison HS at Eric Adams’ displacing students in order to house illegal alien invaders in the school’s gym, I had assumed my home town borough was like the rest of the city, with the exception of Staten Island, solidly Democrat. Later in the…
Good morning, kids. If all politics is local, then despite the fact that I haven’t lived in Brooklyn for 40 years, this one still hits close to home. And I believe it has very large ramifications politically: Students at a Brooklyn high school were kicked out of the classroom to make room for nearly 2,000 migrants…
Good morning, kids. Regardless of where you stand regarding Donald Trump as the likely candidate for next November, and I can argue both sides of the coin regarding his very positive positives and his very negative negatives with ease, I don’t think that that is even the issue anymore. It presupposes that regular order, business…
Good morning, kids. I suppose a corollary to the old “If a tree falls in the forest” aphorism would be “If the Secretary of Defense whose military he is charged with leading is dangerously unprepared to defend the realm from multiple national security threats that are the most serious since 1941 goes missing, does it really…
