As a child in the Mohawk Valley, manufacturing was humming. Then it wasn’t. Now we are a service economy and will remain so despite Trump selling the manufacturing fantasy. Want workers without college degrees to afford a middle class standard of living? Unionize service sector giants.

The outpouring of love for this man is astounding. Sometimes we don’t realize the value of a person until they are gone.

I thought Melania’s outfit beautiful. But to me it personified her desire to distance herself from us—the American people. She doesn’t want to be known and in that, she doesn’t care for us. She comes across as vain, shallow, sour, another grifter in a family of grifters.

Last Sunday I walked by Dr. Fauci’s home in my neighborhood. Since Sen.Rand Paul began his disinformation crusade against him, death threats cast a pall over his family. Paul wishes Fauci jailed, but is pleased he stopped the security detail. If only Paul would work to better his own state.

The dictator is cancelling federal scientific meetings and panels. This is serious with great consequences.

Listen to Ezra Klein’s “The New Rules of the Trump Era” in the NY Times. Powerful.

Over the next four years—say the truth, say it plainly, do not equivocate, repeat the truth over and over. Like here: this idiot is giving the Nazi salute.

Silly, childish, an affront to the U.S., and an example of money allowing such twisted antics. I have to remember that citizens voted Trump in.

Cecile Richards died this morning. As president of Planned Parenthood, she fought hard for our rights as women. RIP.

Do you think both Hillary and Kamala would have done better if they had visited such areas over our country and spoke directly to them in speeches?

It will forever be Biden’s fault…..

He tried to stop the Covid vaccinations. Bio N Tech & NIH each had 30,000 people enrolled in the original study. The unvaccinated population ( the control grp) had a 1% mortality. Vaccinated people had no mortality, only 3% got mildly sick. Only an idiot would disapprove of the vaccine.

Some say Trump wants to be more feared than loved. I also believe he likes grim photos because it makes him look determined and fearless. This translates to his followers as a “strong” man in charge, one who will buck the existing status quo.

Placing his son, Astin Jack Lynch, in a cameo role in “Twin Peaks” with his father’s hairdo, was great! Showed David’s playfulness. He will be missed.

Ooooo—another sycophant heading to Mar-a-Lago to seek a pardon from Trump. Some New Yorkers wish he would stay there.

Gone but never forgotten. Genius. David Lynch. RIP.

Climate scientist Benjamin Hamlington and his young family lost their home in LA. Although the future looks dim for our planet, he feels supporting vulnerable communities across the globe & ensuring a decent life for our kids is important. A solution that does enough although not everything.
