Although I receive three or more official doctor’s office blood pressure readings annually, I have procrastinated about regularly assessing my blood pressure at home. I’m sincerely striving to behave responsibly. My father died of a massive heart attack and my maternal grandmother suffered a series of ministrokes in her later years, so I know hypertension…
One of the saddest fables people comforted themselves with over the past eight years was the one about the strength of American institutions: The voters could elevate an unfit, malevolent demagogue, but our checks and balances were robust; our institutions would prevent any serious damage. Over the course of these years, one institution after another…
When it comes to the issue of debates, perception is often just as crucial as reality and substance. There is no way to codify the fact that Joe Biden’s debate performance last week was nothing short of dismal. The ferocity we witnessed at his State of the Union earlier this year was absent, although his…
Well, the first presidential debate took place. As agreed, there was no live audience. And, as it turned out, there was only one live candidate. It is shocking to Democrats, who only watch liberal legacy corporate media, that Biden is a few fries short of a Happy Meal. Their media have hidden and covered for…

A recent news development has left some folks scandalized and others envious. (And still others grumbling, “I don’t need no stinking news developments! I’m too busy getting ready to vote!”) I’m speaking of the revelation that former New England Patriots coaching legend Bill Belichick (age 72) is dating 24-year-old beauty pageant contestant Jordon Hudson. (Please…
The governor of Louisiana just signed a law that will require all public classrooms in the state — from kindergarten to universities — to post the Ten Commandments “on a poster or framed document at least 11 inches by 14 inches … in easily readable font.” For the first time since Reconstruction, Louisiana has a…
Hi Y’all, Happy Fourth of July! In the hot, steamy village of Lanark there is always fun to be found. We make the best of it. Saturday was the most fun. Some of us started our day off celebrating Fred Aman’s 95th birthday. Fred, a Korean War veteran, is a longtime resident of Lanark who…
Maybe it was karma. Or divine appointment. I do not believe luck had anything to do with it. And it was not Willie putting his “mark” on me one last time. He had everlasting and forever done that in the summer of 1954 and ’55 and ’56 and ’57…. I’m sitting in Seat 8, Row…
One of the best tools in campaign politics is ridicule. Republicans often ridicule President Joe Biden’s age, gait and garbled speech. Democrats hit former President Donald Trump by claiming that in the early days of COVID-19, Trump told Americans to inject bleach.
