Morning, Gang! I you are back at work on this dangling weekday after America’s Birthday, our sympathies. If you are “working from home” or one of those other new behaviors thrust upon us, enjoy the time around periodically looking at the tablet or phone. If you have the extended holiday like us, we do not […]

This morning’s blast is not about our opinion on what the messaging is all about, since that confusion is what we are trying to figure out based on the messaging itself, not any criticism of the figures involved in what the messaging is about. Rather, it is an attempt to follow how and why the […]

Editor’s Note: The work-up to the Annual Commemoration of our Day of Independence. The Framers had declared something of the sort yesterday, 248 years ago, but the formal Declaration was still in preparation for one of he great adventures not in our history, but that of the world.

The leadership of one of the major parties seems to be in that position as well, with a possible decision on whether the candidate they support ought […]

How do we start the weekend that book-ends one of our favorite holidays? The one we celebrate our Independence from foreign tyranny? We were going to talk extensively about the end of the Decision Season at the SCOTUS this morning, but it is not yet over. One of the major cases- one involving the people […]
