. . . Many around the world have long warned that it could end this way, or worse. Trump followed the playbook of the fascist dictators and strongmen that came to power […]
But first . . .
It will uplift, make clear, and reassure.
Three cheers for Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Also . . .
The “West Wing Reunion” on HBO Max reminds us what America should be.

“It’s easier to fool people than to convince them they’ve been fooled.” — Mark Twain
Ain’t it the truth.
The people who stormed the Capitol thought they were doing a good thing.
It’s not they who bear most of the blame; it’s those who fooled them.
If following the wishes of your country’s elected leader […]
. . . what a second term might have been like.
. . . how massive and brutal yesterday’s response would have been if the insurrectionists had been black.

George Will does not write at an eight-grade level (my favorite level — Tom Sawyer! Robinson Crusoe! To Kill A Mockingbird!) but his columns are always worth the effort.
Halfway through this one, he offers a 20-second video of the Vice President’s “canine devotion” to Trump that, Will archly notes, “is a sufficient Pence […]

If so, check this […]
Apparently, it not only feels great to get plenty of sleep, it’s good for your health.
The coronavirus can cause insomnia and long-term changes in our nervous systems. But sleep could also be a key to ending the pandemic. . . .
Zzzzzzzzz.

Even the Trump-supporting New York Post thinks this is insane.
And now . . .
One way to make money, maybe, is to take fliers on some of the stocks I mention here from time to time.
(Part of my theory: it’s fun. And if you use the losers […]
