Seems appropriate that Memorial Day brings back memories. That’s all that’s left of far too many who made those memories with us but are no longer here to share them and make new ones on these annual days of honor for The Fallen. It’s hard sometimes and quite painful for the living to call up memories of the departed, especially if their departure from this life came when they were all alone, far away from us in a lonely, lethal place. And so, too often on these Memorial Days, we

Great news for the unofficial start of summer this holiday weekend: A new poll confirms what most of us have been anticipating eagerly, perhaps even desperately. Liberated from masks and Covid restrictions we’re going to enjoy a renewed, once-familiar American summer with – wait for it! – a safe return to travel and good old-fashioned road trips. [Snip]
Sixty-four percent in the new poll say they’re going to

Mysteries intrigue the human mind. Things you don’t understand or can’t see. Mysteries draw you in, books, TV shows, real-life, even lingerie. You want to see, to understand. I don’t mean stupid mysteries like algebra. I mean scientific stuff. Our country has just gone through a messy pandemic year full of scary scientific mysteries that government folks were afraid to admit they really didn’t understand [Snip] We may finally be on the verge of solving at least part of the enduring UFO mystery

The immediate reports out of Washington came and went so quickly in today’s blurred torrents of news that many missed the far-reaching and momentous social and political impacts of a recent, one-sentence statement from the Supreme Court.[Snip] the timing of the highest court’s decision, which will come by June next year, puts the emotional and volatile issue smack dab in the midst of the campaigns for 2022’s midterm elections. Current conventional wisdom on both sides appears to expect the Court’s Trump-crafted, conservative majority to agree

Democrats accused Donald Trump of being too soft on Russia’s Vladimir Putin for, suspicious reasons. Now, it’s Mr. Mask, Joe Biden, who’s going soft on the Russian leader for life likely. This week for nothing in return, Biden had his Secretary of State Antony Blinken waive U.S. sanctions on the Russian company building a massive undersea gas pipeline from Russia to Germany. The pipeline is a huge deal for Russia’s economy and

All the recent political buzz about the 2022 midterms has been positive for Republicans taking back control of at least one chamber of Congress and stalling Joe Biden’s increasingly progressive agenda. There’s good reason for that. The GOP need only gain five seats to retire Nancy Pelosi again and make Kevin McCarthy, another Californian, the new House Speaker. [Snip] Of course, the Obamas still got rich, but Democrats have yet to recover from that devastation at the state level. And here comes another congressional redistricting. So, even 536 days out, Republicans were feeling mighty good about Nov. 8, 2022.But hold on, folks.

For the first time in its 171-year history, the state of California lost population last year. In fact, it lost so many people in recent years that after 17 decades of growth, the most populous state will lose one of its 53 congressional seats in this upcoming redistricting and one of its 55 Electoral Votes. I’m one of the newer exiles, an economic/political refugee among the more than 182,000 who’ve abandoned the no-longer-so-Golden State in the last 16 months.
Since at least 1850 Americans

You probably heard a lot in recent days about the Republican Party in the throes of a divisive civil war for its political soul among Donald Trump, the House GOP caucus, and that Wyoming renegade Liz Cheney. It’s delicious news for Washington media to ignore a vacant presidency and Democrat disarray to cover turmoil within the Party of Lincoln [Snip] That popular narrative – how can I put this politely? – is crap.

God does work in mysterious ways. Tim Tebow would agree. And now the devout Christian athlete has shown it again.
What a story! And, by the way, brilliant business decision.The 33-year-old Heisman Trophy winner and National Champion QB with the Florida Gators is returning to the National Football League with the bottom-dwelling Jacksonville Jaguars. That team is now coached by – wait for it – Tebow’s former collegiate coach, Urban Meyer, who’s branded success wherever he’s coached. Meyer will attempt to work his winning magic at the pro level with Tebow, at tight end catching passes from

The Chicago Commissioner of Sanitation once told me there was one pre-summer day every year when it seemed most city residents, as if on some unspoken communal signal, suddenly decide together it’s time for the annual Spring Cleaning.
No one ever announces that day. It never appears on any calendar. It is, as if on one common Saturday with the days growing longer and warmer, millions of humans wake up and feel the psychic need in weekend unison, “I must

Here’s a contrary thought: The banishment of Donald Trump from the omnipotent octopus of Big Tech’s social media is actually good for his return to presidential politics, if indeed he’s serious about pulling off a Grover Cleveland-style return in 2024. The absence of a steady stream of his angry, indulgent tweets from the online consciousness of most Americans allows that tedious torrent of tumult to drift into the foggy memories of an inattentive nation that grew tired of it, despite Trump’s numerous policy successes. [Snip] More importantly perhaps, the enforced absence of the former president’s mean tweets deprives the CORRECTION*

The first rescue dog entered my life in 1950. He was a St. Bernard living in the cramped city apartment of an elderly lady who was kind but couldn’t care for a giant, even a gentle one like Buddy. Early the first morning of our life together I rushed downstairs in our rural Ohio home to see him. There, on the back porch were strewn the gnawed remains of his new leather harness and leash. [Snip] Toby was found sitting in a dirty puddle, shivering, befuddled. He went to the car willingly.
Next day Toby wouldn’t even look at me. He was
