No-name candidates are sprouting up like dandelions in the Democratic primary field, including (among others) anti-circumcision activist Andrew Yang (Yes, that really is one of his top agenda items.), Colorado governor John Hickenpooper, Washington state governor Jay Inslee, Maryland Rep. John Delaney, former San Antonio mayor Julian Castro, and South Bend, Indiana mayor Pete Buttigieg. I […]

To be honest about it, I wasn’t sure the Mueller probe would end in my lifetime. So, it was a relief when the most honorable man in Washington (except for St. Comey, of course) marched into William Barr’s office and said, “Here it is, Bill. Good luck. I’m outta here.” The biggest hoax in U.S […]

Once America made the crossover to a post-racial era, I never thought I’d still be hearing the constant drumbeat of racism being systemic in our country, but here we are again.

This is the first in a series of pieces I’ll be doing on the 2020 Democratic primary derby. I plan to update it periodically, particularly when I see a major shift in the prospects of any of the candidates. I’m not going to include the army of no-names who have announced, or who have hinted […]
