I can't speak to what Michael Bloomberg may have personally done when it comes to sexual harassment, either fighting it or being part of it. I wasn't there and have never met the man. What I can speak to is "Wall Street" culture. While I've never worked on "the street", I have worked with financial … Continue reading Bloomberg and the News

Trump, Bernie, and Bloomberg
Yesterday, while I was cooking dinner, I was thinking that should Bernie or Bloomberg become the Democratic nominee then we'll have someone who is Jewish at the top of a major party ticket for the first time in US history. Part of me hopes it happens, if for no other reason, to watch Trump's head … Continue reading Trump, Bernie, and Bloomberg
New Hampshire: Thank You!
The results from New Hampshire clarified a lot for me. This is the toughest choice I've ever had to make in an election. Usually it's easy, I choose the candidate that best matches my values and who has a least some chance of winning. I voted for Bernie in 2016 because he has a message … Continue reading New Hampshire: Thank You!
Iowa: The morning after…
Today we wait. Am I happy? No. Am I pleased? Yes. Paper. There is a paper trail. And it's all an open process. Every one of the people in every one of the hundreds, the thousands of rooms that conducted the caucuses saw what happened.

As to Nancy Pelosi holding the two articles of impeachment? I'm OK if she never sends them. Sit on them, hold them, never send them. It works for me and it's the best politics. Follow the plans of "Moscow" Mitch. He has no intention of holding a fair and open trial. He's made it clear … Continue reading Impeachment
Quotes: Never Forget
"Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.” - Mark Twain I've heard more than on veteran of D-Day or The Battle of the Bulge say "anyone that tells you they were not afraid is lying". Never Forget
The Battle of the Bulge
My great uncle fought in the Battle of the Bulge 75 years ago. That's all I know. As my grandfather said more than once, those that see things in war never talk about it. Related, a few years ago I was in Luxembourg. I visited the cemetery where many killed in that battle are … Continue reading The Battle of the Bulge
Emotions v. Facts
How many times have we heard "you don't bring a knife to a gun fight". The Democrats don't get that you can't bring facts to fight emotions. We all have two parts of our thoughts: the emotional mind and the rational one. The reality is that they can't hear each other. It's far easier to … Continue reading Emotions v. Facts
