Yes, thank you. Will try it next time...

Please. Not sure how to do it, not sure whether my PM went..

They are labeled at the bottom so just put No. 1 first, followed by No. 2, 3, and 4.

Should have posted them in a reverse order. For next time

A major report by the WSJ. Since I cannot insert images in the middle of the post, will try to refer to them and, unfortunately, they are in revers order... Fig 1 at the bottom, Fig 4 at the top. If JQP can rearrange them it can help.. The two parties represent radically different slices of the Amer...

Anyone notice interesting points?

Remember who was in the White House in 1999 and 2000?

And remembers who was in the White House bringing us up from the depth of the "Great Recession?"

And who took over in 2017?


But, hey, they are the party of the "fiscally responsible"

As Democrats cruise toward their next debate later this month, and consider how far their party should move left along the way, here are some electoral facts to consider. Moderate voters have long been one of the most reliable constituencies for Democrats. Exit polls show that Democratic presidentia...

This is what the person said when I answered the phone. From the Social Security Administration the account has been "suspended.." this is as far as he went. I hung up. Neither the IRS, nor any other government agency, not a bank not a utility company will call to announce a "suspensi...

HBO host John Oliver noted that Americans are reminded daily that President Donald Trump is doing the bare minimum at being a president. This week, according to the “Last Week Tonight” host, Trump proved he “was doing the bare minimum at being a f*cking person.” Even Trump’s staff confessed that the...

We are living in an age of technological disruption, so it figures that the most important trend in international politics is the rise of disrupters around the globe. Last week’s ascension of Boris Johnson—notorious bad boy, mocker of the system that produced him, the man as responsible as anyone fo...

Kamala Harris Is Now the Candidate to Beat - WSJ op-ed By Gerard Baker Editor at Large (snip) It’s an especially curious state because I suspect that, if we weren’t all talking about the squad right now, we would be talking incessantly about Kamala Harris. There’s not much doubt that the California ...

I don't trust Harris. She keeps changing her position, depending on the wind direction. And she supported Civil forfeiture. Still am having hard time understanding how a child of two university professors in Berkeley had to be bused.. I don't think that the country is ready for a gay president. He p...

So will you please give each $5.00 just to add "unique donors?"

(And then you will have to unsubscribe when you get one or two emails a day..)

May I suggest you should at least send donations to Klobuchar and to Bullock? Jut to keep them in the race? Both are moderate, both are from the middle of the country, neither offers "freebies" with no idea how to pay for them and both won in Trump country. Certainly preferable to the &quo...

Who has left Trump's administration and orbit?

A local city council decided to not include the pledge in opening its meetings. Which, of course, Whiny Donny had to stick his neck and complain. But what I like is a letter published today in the StarTribune: In 1966 I was a temporary fourth grade teacher in Savannah, Ga., before being reassigned t...

Hey, Joe Biden, stop. Stop apologizing. Your civil relationship with former segregationist Sens. Herman Talmadge of Georgia and James Eastland of Mississippi four decades ago is nothing to regret talking about (“Biden: ‘I regret’ debate comments,” July 7). Perhaps it’s alien to a new generation, but...

Like grave robbers opening King Tut’s tomb, Congress can’t wait to get its hands on America’s retirement-account assets. The House passed the Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement Act, known by the acronym Secure, in May. The vote was 417-3. The Secure Act is widely expected to pass ...

From the second installment of PBS Chasing the Moon, culminating with the description of the successful mission of Apollo 8 that left the earth orbit and circled the moon. And this, after the tragic death of the Apollo 1 astronauts where, even today, the exact reasons are not known: "Everything...

Some have already been observed: Tiananmen Square protests in April 1989 and D-Day on June 6, 1944. Stonewall uprising June 28 1969 On June 28, 1919, the Treaty of Versailles, ending WW1 was signed. Still to come: the landing on the moon on July 20, 1969 Woodstock on August 1969. Sept 1st 1939 - Hit...

Strange thing, no one knows how he made his money
