Thank you, Madame Vice President, for a first class debate performance. And thank you, Taylor, for a thoughtful and eloquent statement of endorsement.

I like presidents who...

Vance for VP? Hell No!

My latest meme. I seem to be drawn to highlight Vance's, er, negative points. Well, that's okay. People with a lot more brain power and talent than I are working on Trump.

As always, feel free to share this one if you think it might help.

Faith and Justice Matter to Harris and Walz

Amid all the discussion of the Harris-Walz campaign's wide and warm inclusiveness, till now I had heard nothing about faith-based outreach and inclusion. But, unsurprisingly, this well organized, disciplined and focused campaign is on it. At the end of August Sojourners published an article about Rev. Jen Butler, the campaign's faith outreach director. True to form, they got the best.

A veteran of the Obama administration as well as many years of organizing and interfaith discourse, Rev. Butler is a solid addition to the stellar Harris-Walz organization.

Trump Gets AWFUL NEWS From…FLORIDA?!…and TEXAS!?

Kamala gets KEY surprise endorsement

This video dropped about 11:00 last night. But, it struck me as a great way to start our blog day.

An Inconvenience

Although it is often said not to blame the child for being the product of rape, J.D. Vance is the only person I have heard refer to rape as "an inconvenience."

In the opinion of this childless cat lady, such an attitude makes Vance unfit to be the father of daughters. Indeed, it makes him unfit to be the father of sons. It is a despicable, unfeeling attitude to hold, much less to express in public.

Attention Ladies

Stinky!

I am not entirely satisfied with this one, but can't quite put my finger on what's wrong. Ideas? Suggestions? Thanks.

What do you think?

How do you like my first-ever meme, hot off the press?

Do it for the kittens!

LIVE: VP Harris and Biden ADDRESS Nation TOGETHER

Sanders to Trump: You lose support every time you talk about healthcare – so 'go for it'

As Sen. Sanders points out, the U.S. is the outlier. Most other countries in the world have a living wage, affordable or no-cost healthcare, paid family leave, and other policies Trump is trying to label "radical." It won't work. America is ready to join the civilized world. You tell 'em, Bernie!

We Are Not Going Back!

Vice President Kamala Harris

Those people…The shape they’re in, all the expenses, maybe those kinds of people should just die.

Fred C. Trump III with then Pres. Donald Trump in the Oval Office, 2018

Just when you think you've heard the worst about Donald Trump, something worse comes up.

In a forthcoming book by his nephew, Fred C. Trump III, the former president and wannabe dictator is quoted as telling Fred that he should let his disabled son die and then move down to Florida.

Now maybe I'm biased, seeing that I myself am disabled, but I take exception to that attitude. It reminds me of something a doctor - a doctor mind you - told my recently widowed mother when I was lying comatose in his hospital and not expected to recover: "Throw her in a custodial care facility till she dies of pneumonia. You're young. You can have other children."

Trump's attitude does not surprise me. We've seen glimpses of it before. Remember his 2015 mockery of reporter Serge Kovaleski, who suffered from a congenital joint condition? If I had known nothing else about Trump, that act of cruelty and disrespect alone would have caused me not to vote for him.

Kovaleski was a stranger and a grown man. Here he's suggesting that his own flesh and blood, a teenager, be "allowed to die" since, after all, he has multiple disabilities, including mental defacits. In other words, he's not a person at all.

In 2024, if that were the only thing I knew about Donald Trump, it would cause me not to vote for him.

Country unites behind Harris as MAGA panics

The Prosecutor Versus The Criminal

Trump’s Kryptonite

We have to" earn his sacrifice" Rick Wilson says, and he's absolutely right. How many of us would, or could, have done what Pres. Biden did? Up to now the 2024 election has been centered on a negative - keeping Trump from returning to the presidency. Now, it is centered on a positive - electing Pres. Biden's chosen successor and thereby honoring his heroic patriotism.
