  • Trump Will Win in Court

    So, just when it looked like Trump might actually start to be feeling some pressure, finally, as a result of the his unpopular stance on abortion, in steps Alvin Bragg to make sure he has a nice big win to look forward to in the near future. I won’t cover the ins and outs of…

  • Another Open Goal for Biden – Will He Take It?

    So, I read that Donald Trump has just posted on Truth Social attacking Joe Biden’s ‘lawfare’ against him: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-biden-criminal-trials-hush-money-case-b2527120.html Here is, yet again, a chance for Biden to effectively pull Trump’s pants down in front of the entire country. Biden should be on Twitter immediately challenging Trump directly to a) Name the ‘highly respected legal…

  • Francis Scott Key Bridge

    Wouldn’t it be great if we lived in a world where Joe Biden called out Trump directly over his silence on the Francis Scott Key Bridge disaster? What a good opportunity that would be to show the world what a self-obsessed, callous, mean-spirited man Trump actually is. But no, Trump will get another free pass…

  • Biden Gets It Right

    So this week Joe Biden finally, finally, did the thing that I’d been hoping he would do for months. He attacked Trump in a way that was personal, direct and cutting: Predictably, this became a worldwide story. Today, if you Google ‘Joe Biden Twitter’, this is what you get: How about that? For years Democrats…

  • Time Magazine – April 2024

    Oh look – it’s the cover of Time magazine’s first April 2024 issue. Sadly they didn’t ask me to contribute, but a link to the story is below. https://time.com/6958784/biden-campaign-strategy-problems-2024

  • Biden on Twitter – The Sound of Silence

    Back on the 25th of February I wrote a post entitled ‘Biden on Twitter – Trapped in the Past’. I thought it would be interesting to Google ‘Joe Biden Twitter’ again this morning and to see what came up. Here’s the answer: Compare this to my post last month – it’s almost exactly the same.…

  • Thought for the Day

    I was reading some of Trump’s posts on Truth Social in reaction to the latest developments in the Georgia election case. Trump, of course, always talks about a Biden witch hunt, falsely claiming again and again that Biden is directing all the prosecutions against him. Do you know how many times Biden has taken the…

  • Robert Reich and Why I Write

    I was thinking about what I would write this week when I came across an article in The Guardian written by Robert Reich (Robert Reich – Wikipedia). The article reminded me of exactly why I’m writing this blog, so I thought I’d put my own response to it on here. In summary, the article –…

  • State of the Union

    I don’t have much to add to discussions on Biden’s State of the Union. By all accounts he did a good job, and I would agree with that. If you fancy a laugh, though, Newt Gingrich’s response on Fox News was quite something: Newt Gingrich: The State of the Union was inspirational when Biden left…

  • A Word On the Conflict in the Middle East

    I have spent the vast majority of this blog criticising Joe Biden, but today I’m going to take a break from all that by talking a bit about one area where I do have some sympathy with the man, and that’s with regard to the current crisis in the Middle East. And before I begin,…
