Defiler-In-Chief should not get his WhiteHouse deposit back!

                  Outrageous has become normal under Trump, but his misuse this week of the people’s house has taken it to a new warp speed!

I guess we should have seen this coming I suppose, but LIVE from the White House? 

The Secretary of State auditioning to run in 2024 by addressing the Republican National Convention from Jerusalem? 

As in Israel on the U.S. taxpayers dime?

The Trump Family BidenBashing hour?

U.S. Marines playing ceremonial pawns?

Politicizing sacred citizenship ceremony?

Live surprise pardon of a reformed bank robber?

This version of The Apprentice features Trump seizing back from Biden the narrative of the 2020 election.

Trump will fight like an evil feral animal to win in November, whatever it takes!

Right from the start in 2017...Sean Spicer looked into the camera and lied about Trumps inaugural crowd size.

KellyAnne Conway introduced the Trump theory of “alternative facts.”

And we thought that was bad!

But NO, it got much worse!

1,200 Americans died yesterday from COVID-19 aka by Trump the “China virus”

Bringing the total dead since March to 180,000.

Resulting in the tanking of the U.S. economy.

Trump response was to declare it old news and pivot to restarting the economy.

Trump blew it. He coulda been a hero like Reagan but now he will be looking up at Herbert Hoover!

The debate between Trump and Joe Biden in September looks like it will be hugely important for voters to decide who will be our President for the next four years.

Democratic National Convention...I was there in 1976,1984 and 1988!

 As a lifelong loyal Democrat, I have learned what a winning campaign looks like.

Winning is very different. It signals gaining the opportunity to wield the power of government for the benefit of the many. Losers go home, licking their wounds.

As a young man, I attended the 1976 Democratic National Convention at Madison Square Garden in New YorkCity for the nomination of Jimmy Carter to be President. I remember Jimmy delivering a folksy acceptance speech signaling transition from the Watergate era to something better. Everyone joined hands and sang We Shall Overcome to close the night. I walked behind Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan as we left the Garden. A cab delivered me to an after party sponsored by Rolling Sone magazine where I met Hunter S Thompson and Paul Newman. Life in the fast lane!

My second DNC was 1984 in San Francisco. More parties, more celebs fueled that experience where Walter Mondale won nomination then picked a woman to be his running mate. Mario Cuomo delivered a rousing call to us all to go out and beat Ronald Reagan! Jesse Jackson offered a glimpse of the future of the Democratic Party.

Tonight, Joe Biden will accept the 2029 nomination

Four years later, I attended my last Democratic National Convention in Atlanta. Mike Dukakis became our nominee with Lloyd Bentsen for veep. Lots of limo rides to lots of events created a kaleidoscope of memories. Rob Lowe comes to mind. And AllySheedy. We left Atlanta with a wide lead on George H.W. Bush that Dukakis squandered in short order.

Tonight Joe Biden will accept the Democratic Party nomination for President, following last nights acceptance by Senator Kamala Harris of the nomination to be Vice President. This team is very strong and my guess is they will win.

Unless, Donald Trump is allowed to steal the election. 

President Obama warned us last night this election threatens the future of democracy.

We must elect Joe Biden to save the USA from the horror of a Trump second term!

RIP Babe Ruth and Elvis Presley

 August 16 is a date I always remember. 

Partly because it is the birthday of my beloved grandfather Clair J. Moore. Grandpa took me fishing in the early 60s. We always had fun on his little fishing boat in Lake Erie outside Toledo. My Mom was his adopted daughter and I was her only child and Mom was divorcing my Dad in 1963 so grandpa and his wife Aunt Lorine took me with them on their two week vacation to the upper peninsula of Michigan in a log cabin next to a river bordering Wisconsin where we fished every day. Good times!

But mostly I latched onto remembering August 16 after Elvis died on that date in 1977, then I learned it was the same date when Babe Ruth died in 1948. Two icons of American life, both men remain for me the epitome of greatness. Babe died the year before I was born but my Dad loved the Babe (but hated the win too much Yankees) so I always loved him too! 

I was really more of a Beatles guy, but Elvis shook my awareness in the 50s when he appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show and made everybody swoon. By 1977, Elvis had journeyed across our consciousness sufficiently to achieve the lofty status of superstardom. His death hit the world hard coming as it did too soon with stunning shock.

RIP Babe & Elvis! You too Grandpa!
