Letter From Home: “Best Bang For The Buck” 10/10/25

There’s a particular kind of magic that happens in a bookstore. It’s not loud or flashy. It doesn’t demand your attention like a movie trailer or a viral video. It’s quieter, more intimate, somethi…

No Nobel Peace prize for Donny. I'm sure he will take it in good grace.

Trump didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize, but on the bright side evidence of him being a prolific paedophile is about to be released any day now

James and I received our Covid shots yesterday and ask friends and social media contacts to do the same and help with protecting ourselves and the community in which we live. Thanks.

That was a point I made in today’s comment. There are a few moments of commonality in our nation, the Super Bowl is one of the last few that remains. The undermine with partisanship is truly dangerous. caffeinatedpolitics.com/2025/10/09/p...

Diversity and inclusivity are exactly what this nation is about. Conservatives have failed to understand our history, which is the point I make in my column today. caffeinatedpolitics.com/2025/10/09/p...

The advertisers in America, who spend a lot of money to air commercials during the Super Bowl, and especially during the halftime portion are absolutely laughing their butts off over the idea that some old white man should stand up before diverse America and sing. Good Lord!

Speaker Johnson has to have his son monitor sexual searching on his computer, and then the father does the same for the son. Tell me this is not one screwed up family! The last thing that Johnson should be doing is talking about what is good for children in this nation.

I think that was the foundation for the differences between the Eisenhower and Taft forces in 1952. The sewer that is now the Republican Party is just so offputting.

Who are we talking about and what emails? I threw off my lists in pandemic some awful people who disdained science and herd immunity. Clue me in and I suspect we strongly agree about the chucklehead.

The sheen that following generations would apply to Founders misses the point Joe Ellis writes so often about. Dave McCullough, too. Just people in their own time not knowing how things would work out. I argue they wanted positive future reviews. Like everyone else.

1) How Richard Nixon’s political like can never be replicated again in US.

2) How LBJ amassed power and then what he did with it.

3) How Elvis Presley came to define what the ultimate performance on a stage meant in the 1970s.

I also wrote a second column about the way Trump has turned the White House into the way it now looks. My title of column is an honest assessment. dekerivers.wordpress.com/2025/09/03/d...

Donald Trump Turns Tasteful Refinement Of White House Into Tacky Bordello

This summer, a younger friend who has spent time in Europe said the White House with Donald Trump in it looks like Versailles on steroids. I had to laugh, but also very much agree. The people&#8217…

The last GOP president that I respected was H W Bush and Ford before in 1974. Bush because he was intelligent and world focused with internationalist values. Ford for decency and knowing how Congress worked. Pardon tough but correct decision.

Trump’s deflecting is truly bypassing the jumping of the shark moment from Happy Days sitcom. There is some bad stuff in the Epstein files to act this bizarrely to attempt to turn the page.
