What Donald Trump knew about COVID-19, when he knew it, and how his administration made the pandemic much worse

By Mark | April 12, 2020

Not too long ago, I shared a timeline here of Donald Trump’s various lie-filled statements concerning the coronavirus outbreak, starting with, “We have it totally under control,” which he said on January 22, 2020. In that post, as you may recall, I not only included quotes from Donald Trump, but, where possible, I added other […]

“I don’t take responsibility at all.” -President Donald Trump

By Mark | March 14, 2020

When asked yesterday about his administration’s inept handling of the coronavirus pandemic, especially as relates to the manufacture and distribution of test kits, Donald Trump responded, “I don’t take responsibility at all,” insinuating that he’d been hamstrung by rules put in place to the Obama administration – a claim, by the way, that has been […]

No vanity campaigns in 2020

By Mark | February 3, 2019

It’s about a week late, but, lest anyone be wondering, I too hate Howard Schultz, the former CEO of Starbucks, and don’t believe that he should run as an independent for the presidency in 2020. Schultz, for those of you who might not have heard, apparently feels uniquely qualified, in spite of his lack of […]

A now-profitable General Motors, having been bailed out by the people of Michigan, repays them with massive layoffs and the shuttering of facilities in Hamtramck and Warren

By Mark | November 26, 2018

Back in 2016, while on the campaign trail, Donald Trump made the following promise to Michigan’s automotive workers. “If I’m elected, you won’t lose one plant, you’ll have plants coming into this country, you’re going to have jobs again, you won’t lose one plant, I promise you that,” he said. Well, General Motors announced today […]

Ohio seems to be swinging toward the bright light of modernity… let’s hope that it continues

By Mark | October 1, 2012

No Republican in modern history has made it to the White House without winning Ohio, and, for that reason, Mitt Romney has been spending a disproportionate amount of time crisscrossing the buckeye state with relevant, of-the-moment cultural icons who can really help him connect with the masses, like super-wealthy golf course designer Jack Nicklaus, and […]
