I’m a retired former Postmaster of a small town. I also worked for 13 years in the Mail Center for the Mayo Clinic.

I am an avid sports fan and love to play golf. My politics are left-of-center.
I never thought I would live in a country where I can't trust a single word from any part of the government. The Trump administration lies about everything and is rewriting history in a way I did not think was possible. The ICE homicide in Minneapolis is the latest example.

It's ironic that unemployment is way up since we've had nine months of massive deportations of undocumenteds who supposedly took jobs away from citizens.

The vice president asserts that everything wrong with the economy is the fault of the previous administration. I didn't think there was much wrong with the economy a year ago and I think the numbers back me up.

I actually empathize with the Senate Democrats. They held for a long time with a weak hand, but Republicans are good at inflicting political pain. Shumer needs to fall on his sword and at least resign as leader, if not retire from Congress when his term is up.

In every Congressional election in the country, the Democrats should (rightfully) say “my opponent does not and will not work for his (her) constituents, he (she) works for Donald Trump.”

I’m pretty certain Trump will not be attending any World Series games. LA and Canada are two places where he isn’t very popular.

Right-wingers have had hissy fits about people saying Trump is “not my president”. Since he has shown nothing but the back of the hand to Democrats and more broadly blue states and Democratic cities, I’d like to say that if he doesn’t want to be my president, the feeling is mutual.

@dailywalkoff.com--I am doing archive puzzles and the 2/2 quiz testing how many teams players played for was by far the hardest I've done. I missed six of thirty and was pretty fortunate to do that well. I appreciate the challenge!!

Here's my take on today's political scene in 300 character increments.

Donald Trump is the most vile person in the political arena in my lifetime. His character should have disqualified him from ever seeking office. The lying is who he is and I think he might believe much of what he says.

In light of what Trump has done since returning to power and what he has promised to do, Biden's pardons of his family and others are both wise and necessary.

Democrats in Minnesota lose a court decision. A special election that was to be held this month will be delayed, giving Republicans a one-seat majority until March.

Can right-wingers say "liberal media" with a straight face after the events of the two months? ABC, Facebook, Amazon, Washington Post, New York Times, Apple and more how bowed to the elected president and muted dissent. Twitter has become a right-wing echo chamber.
