Appararently, if you took Biden’s Philadelphia speech seriously, and thought, perhaps, you were hearing a totalitarian doctrine scripted by his Neocon handlers and advisors, then you missed the practical joke.

If you saw Biden’s lips reading the telepromptor and it sounded like a right-wing Democratic President delivering threats to silence or criminalize dissenters and truthtellers, who object to the Presidential empowerment of neoliberal economic policies, or international war-mongering provocations against nuclear enabled superpowers — well, you missed the clever trick.

Enter desk-bound journalist, David Frum, who has jotted a few paragraphs at the Atlantic, that completely explain how Biden’s speech wasn’t what you thought it was. Biden’s speech, according to Frum, was actually an elaborate sting operation. It was designed to trap Donald Trump into an angry response — and at the same time prove to the world that he is an important member of the Republican Party!

The markets celebrated last week when energy prices fell, and this allowed the inflation rate to decline slightly.
What most people don't realize is that a large part of that decline in energy prices came from the U.S. federal government and it's about to run out.

Hey everybody,
Hope you're all doing well. Long time no see, eh?

I've had a pretty serious political reality check and have not much to say here any longer, but I do wish you all well.

Laboring to Entertain?

Let's break from the news cycle this holiday weekend and watch some old movies and a few fun shorts and cartoons. It's pick and choose what interests you. Only the most serious movie buff will have seen all of the films, and the shorts will be new for almost everyone. Have great holiday and enjoy a movie or two over the week. You might want to start your viewing with a cartoon or short.

Afternoon folks!

There's a bunch of good stuff for you today including a really great blues album by a mostly unknown and underrated singer, Howard Tate. The album includes the first recording of "Get It While You Can," which was later recorded by Janis Joplin. There are also albums by John Mayall, Dr. Feelgood, Goose Creek Symphony and the Specials.

Have a great holiday weekend!
