For as long as I have been alive, two profit centers have existed in the publishing world. One is about the end times being now or just around the corner. The other is about the current or impending collapse of the markets/economy/monetary system. Books on these topics perpetually make the...

Speaker Johnson in no Rush to Impeach Biden "WaPo’s Jacqueline Alemany reports today that Johnson has taken a more reserved tone toward the investigation, suggesting in a meeting this week with GOP centrists 'that there is insufficient evidence at the moment to initiate formal impeachment...

Get Ready for the Next Round; Republican House Dysfunction Continues "House Republican leaders were forced to abruptly pull two year-long spending bills from the floor this week amid opposition from both ends of their badly divided GOP conference. And Johnson is still grappling with a strategy...

Trump's 40 Wall Street Building is in Trouble "Special servicers are assigned to manage CMBS loans that are in default or at potential risk of default." https://finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-40-wall-st-tower-211505299.html

I don't know the details. But it is clear from the voter response that it was enough to flip the partisan makeup of the board. The Republican majority tried to push something onto the people and the people pushed back, such that the Republican majority on the board is no more.

Fair point. But MAGA folks are imposing every abortion restriction the can everywhere they can, and that is prompting a huge voter backlash of the type seen Tuesday at the polls. It is motivating Democrats and independents to turn out in strong numbers. Those same voters will turn out in 2024...

Another Example of Republican Extremist Overreach Reversed by the Voters Pennridge School Board in PA had 8 Republicans and 1 Democrat. After they implemented a controversial, right-wing curriculum, voters responded. Five of nine seats were up for election. Voters placed Democrats in all five...

The donor in question is not a Trump donor at all. At least not yet. Nov 8 (Reuters) - Hotel entrepreneur Robert Bigelow, Republican presidential hopeful Ron DeSantis' biggest donor, is switching his support to Donald Trump, but he will not give the former president any money until he is sure...

You were correct that the entire school board was up for re-election and the opportunity existed to flip the VA state Senate to Republican. And you were right that Tuesday's elections could be a turning point and a sign of things to come in 2024. But it turned out differently than Republicans...

Then why do the Republicans who fought hard to impose an extreme anti-abortion position feel so defeated? Why did they try to impose a new law at all? And why are they unwilling to stop trying, even in the face of this clear voter message? Why are they unwilling to accept the clearly stated will...

The Republican Plan to Defeat the Voters and Impose Abortion Ban They cannot help themselves. Republican overreach and voter combat continues. https://www.cnn.com/2023/11/08/opinions/gop-election-losses-abortion-ohio-virginia-kentucky-ziegler/index.html

How many major donors has Trump lost this time around? I mean major donors who supported him in 2020 but are specifically not supporting him now? I know there are some. That would offset your one-donor coalescing, would it not?

I'm not "they." I'm me, so I'll speak for myself only. I'm not melting down about anything. Yes, Biden is cratering in the polls. The election is a year away. Polls today about an election a year from now are meaningless. And, as I've said before, we don't even know if Biden's health will hold...

Trump has done a pretty good job of losing elections; his own, and his endorsees where races are competitive. The coattails won't be a benefit, they will be a drag, just like they have been a drag in the recent past. In case you have not noticed, Trump and his endorsees are not winning...

I'm not sure what you mean by that. I've been saying for months that Biden may not be the Democratic nominee because his health may not hold up under the rigors of a presidential campaign and the office of president, and plain old-age. I know Trump has a more moderate approach to abortion...

The Prosecution Rests Today's testimony by Ivanka Trump was the final witness for the prosecution and the prosecution rests. Next, Trump's attorney's will present their defense. That will last about a month. Closing arguments will be made. Then Judge Engoron will rule, and the trial will be over.

An Example of Republican Soul Searching Vance was one of the staunchest and most outspoken opponents of Ohio Issue 1, and a very outspoken anti-abortion extremest. He now speaks as a man having second thoughts. I think that will last a day or two and he will return to form. Or if he happens...

This MN 14th Amendment Ruling Makes Sense The Minnesota Supreme Court dismissed the lawsuit that seeks to bar Trump from the presidential ballot on 14th Amendment grounds. They said a party primary is an internal party matter and there is no law that prevents a party from placing a candidate on...

Nov. 7, 2023 General Elections; Bad Day for MAGA In addition to the huge setbacks Republicans suffered in yesterday's state elections (Ohio's Issue 1, Kentucky governor race, Virginia state House of Delegates), reports are coming in about numerous, widespread and thorough defeats of MAGA school...

Probably not. Biden's popularity is in the tank and voters are feeling the sting of inflation, especially in the grocery stores. And yet, voters handed the Democrats strong victories last night, where abortion was on the ballot or where candidates who supported reproductive rights were on the...
