Biden’s bleach misinformation

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. At a weekend event with comedian Jimmy Kimmel, Biden said of his predecessor,…

The fight doesn’t end with celebrating Juneteenth

Here we are. Another year, another June and the nation is celebrating another Juneteenth holiday. On June 17, 2021, President Biden signed the bill into law making Juneteenth the 11th holiday recognized by the federal government. At a White House ceremony, Biden singled out Opal Lee, an activist who at the age of 89 walked…

‘Let’s get ready to mumble’ at debate

A rarity happens next week: a presidential debate before either party’s convention. Trump probably should not have agreed to the unusual CNN debate this early. If Biden melts down or freezes up, Dems have time to replace him before their official nomination in Chicago. I would have waited, but where there is a camera and…

The injudicious Justice Alito

I am not a fan of hidden microphone ambushes. It’s sneaky and dishonest. The kind of ambush that journalist and activist Lauren Windsor pulled off at the recent Supreme Court Historical Society dinner was particularly unseemly because she posed as a conservative activist type and attempted to lead the witnesses – Supreme Court justices and…

Show trials amount to faux trials

Even after Trump’s faux trial, Biden’s favorability poll numbers are dropping faster than Hunter Biden’s art prices will when Joe loses the presidency. It turns out most Americans see through using government to go after political adversaries. Enough! A Gallup poll recently found that 77% of Americans are “very dissatisfied” with the way things are…

Snails running rampant across Panhandle

Well, maybe not running – more like sluggishly, slimily slogging. But they are getting to be rampant, at least according to the Apalachicola Regional Stewardship Alliance, as reported in the March 7 Times by editor David Adlerstein. Critters that are becoming problematic along the Panhandle, in what’s called the Cooperative Invasive Species Management Area, include…

Stock splits and artificial intelligence

On Monday, June 10, NVDA, arguably the most important chip manufacturer in the artificial intelligence world since it manufactures the primary chip that all of the other companies need to produce “AI,” began trading after a 10-for-1 stock split.  Owners of 100 shares at $1,200 per share on the prior Friday looked at their accounts…

Trump’s COVID Response Was Worse Than We Remember

Here are Trump’s words from that infamous April 2020 press conference about Covid:“So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous — whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light. … And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other…
