The 2026 Tour de France Femmes was the best yet, exciting and beautiful with a dramatic finish in Nice. Winners, L to R: Lorena Wiebes (sprints), Demi Vollering (overall), Puck Pieterse (climbing), and Antonia Niedermaier (best young rider). Well done, all!

The legislation's official name is "One Big Beautiful Bill". It will add trillions to the national debt, give a tax break to the wealthy, and kick millions off Medicaid. The GOP is so proud of it that the House Rules Committee is holding its hearings at 1 a.m. tonight so nobody will observe them.

Like Caesar’s wife, US presidents were previously supposed to be above reproach. Donald Trump has twisted that into being beyond reproach.

Robert Francis Prevost was a surprise choice to Americans used to thinking that no native of a superpower would ever be elected pope. Maybe our status as a fading superpower made it more possible? And he's no MAGAt.

Just watched the funeral service for Jimmy Carter at the National Cathedral. Wonderful eulogies by Stuart Eizenstat and the president's grandson Jason Carter. Look them up on YouTube or somewhere; you'll either remember things you had forgotten or learn a lot that's good to know

Hendrick Avercamp was a deaf and mute Dutch painter who lived during the “Little Ice Age” of the late 16th century. He was one of the first landscape painters of the Dutch Golden Age; his figures are full of vigor and humor, and I love them. Happy New Year!

Jimmy Carter has died at 100. He was the first Presidential candidate I was old enough to vote for, the year the US celebrated its bicentennial. RIP, a humanitarian role model for us all.

Buffalo Bills fans are a hardy lot! With lake-effect snow coming down, the “Bills Mafia” showed up with shovels to make paths in the grandstands. It’s a tradition.

Astrologers say that after 15 years in Capricorn, Pluto has moved into Aquarius, where it will remain until 2043. Its energy is "revolutionary." Pluto takes 248 years to orbit the sun; the last time it entered Aquarius was 1776. If you want to see some wackadoodle speculations, search “Pluto”online.
