The Debate

One would think, watching the Democrat debate last night, that our world revolves around free stuff for everyone, climate change, sexism and racism. Non-issues: world trade inequities, our growing national debt, coronavirus, Chinese hegemony, North Korean nukes, immigration reform, economic growth, national defense, impeachment and patriotism.

I’m not sure if this was because of the candidates’ myopia or cable new’s desire to stir things up.

Afterthought: Bloomberg has said he would back whomever wins the Democrat nomination ... now, except possibly Liz Warren...

Useless as Tits on a Bull

Russia brazenly annexed the Crimea and is proxy-fighting in the Ukraine.

Venezuela has been in free fall for years.

Hong Kong is in open revolt against China’s duplicity.

Ecuador is aflame.

Turkey has invaded Syria.

There is an Ebola crisis in West Africa.

North Korea is edging back toward open hostility.

World trade equanimity is full of flaws.

Iran keeps trying to trip the wire.

Where is the UN?

Oh yes, I forgot, they are distracted by Greta Thunberg ...
