There is something beyond sad when the Top News Story of the day from an alert by our local newspaper is to vote for the best pizza in town. Slow news day? Hardly.

Let’s not march, let’s gather and Pledge our Allegiance to the Republic, with Liberty and Justice for All. Then sing the National Anthem. Have US flags, and flags of our allies flying, including Ukraine. What do you think?

Are you thinking about running for office? Here’s some unsolicited advice. Write a Substack column. Tell readers about your day - voters you talked to, reasons why you’re running, your dog, your life, what grounds you, your origin story, what pisses you off, what you love. Show us who you are.

Having owned a Tesla Y with phantom braking issues that were never resolved because Musk had removed an important part during the manufacturing process, it’s clear to me why he wanted to dismantle any federal consumer protection enforcement.
