Trump’s Lawfare Minefield

If Trump survives the Biden lawfare minefield and gets re-elected president, he really should seek punishment for his tormentors for the sake of preserving justice in the election process.

Hair

Pilgrim, I’ve always found it curious over the world’s obsession with hair … the Muslim’s insistence that women’s hair be covered …the subject of a Broadway musical … the amount of money and effort paid on one’s coif by famous people … some men’s obsession with women’s flowing locks … even the current banishment of underarm and pubic hair, even on men.

There must be some deep-seated reason for this sartorial focus  … but it escapes me …

The “I” Words

The Biden administration has added one more condition to their debate demands— Trump cannot use the “I” words: inflation, immigration, Iran, interest [rates], insurrection [not], infanticide, indebtedness, illegals, Israel, intifada, instability, idiot or influence [peddling].

Hara-Kari

 

It’s been said that politicians would sell their first-born in order to hold onto their office. Well Pilgrim, this obviously does not apply to swampy Republicans who are falling over themselves to thwart Trump’s takeover of their party. There have been three GOP representatives … McCarthy, Buck, Gallagher leaving a majority of one … with others possible …  threatening their majority.

Although this creates difficult times for the current Republicans, it likely means that, were Trump re-elected, he would have a more loyal party.

My sincere hope for the future of generative AI is not at all frightening … it’s pretty modest.

Another Box to Check

 

I bet you thought that the Dems had run out of boxes for their candidates to check when running for office  … female, non-white, gay, foreign-born and, recently, trans. You thought that was the full slate?

Hold on Pilgrim … there’s a new box … ADHD ...  or neurologicaly woke. Angela Alsobrooks has won the Democrat primary for its open Maryland Senate seat … as a black woman with ADHD. She will face off against Republican ex-Governor Larry Hogan in November. That extra checked box has gotta help.

What’s the next box the Dems will try to use to get elected … bad breath?
