That could be. The way the Biden administration has operated for the past 3 1/2 years would seem to fit well with that scenario, whether or not it's actually what has been going on..

Maybe, just maybe, it wouldn't have been quite such a snoozer if this year's male champ had rivalled Joey Chestnut's usual hot dog "count," but when I saw the films of the contest after the fact, I could only think "I didn't miss much" knowing that the winner's own total of hot dogs eaten didn't...

I confess that I didn't remember the Nathan's eating contest yesterday, but without Joey Chestnut it seems to have been reduced to the "On well" category. I can only think that the company and/or the organizers made a big mistake, and that's from the perspective of their own best interests, by...

No. I said I wanted a full-time president, not someone who can only perform the duties of the president part time. The rest of the time, he's asleep or at the beach. And that's to say nothing about his diminished abilities when he is doing the work of the president. Anyway, his time in office...

Again, that's quite true. But it's also the case that the mainstays (burgers, fries, wraps, nuggets, etc) sold by some of the best known fast food outlets are much higher in sodium content than their opposite number at other companies' places. Most of these businesses have a "nutrition" section...

Apparently you are determined to believe everything that his closest advisors put out to the media. Some of these people also said that Biden has been declining noticeably over the past few months, though, which is what Americans in general have observed. How about him being available for work...

It's true that fast food places have gotten to be more expensive than some conventional restaurants--if you are not careful about what you're ordering at the fast food place. So, I guess that I have in fact cut back some, but almost all fast food places offer specials and coupons, sometimes...

I know it's a small point, but the point was that a write-in for president is completely useless unless you just want to feel good about your action. These votes aren't even reported. By contrast, the votes cast for a minor political party are recorded and published, meaning that there is...

Well, in most states, there isn't a need for a write-in vote. There are several "third parties" on the ballot, and they have nominated their own candidates for president.

Pretty much the same for me, too. The Annual Meeting is important and I normally attend, but for other meetings, not unless some agenda item is especially controversial.

Do you (or any other reader) have any preferences among the people being said to be in the running for Trump's VP? Or, would any particular one of them be a definite turn-off for you? As for Biden, if he's not the presidential nominee, which of the people rumored as a replacement would be the...

How about this slant on the subject-- Does Trump's choice of VP make any difference? It wouldn't, of course, for those voters who are opposed to Trump under all circumstances, but I would think that people who are "soft" in their support or still undecided might switch, either for or against...

I agree that the process is flawed, perhaps mainly because the standards and procedures have been changed over the years and it's evident that the really popular personalities who are canonized get priority. However, what we get in the end is simply the Catholic Church's idea about who might...

Now, that's a valid point that I had not dealt with. It can matter in some states, but not in yours and some others. The Electoral College is where it counts, and which candidate will get those votes decides the outcome. If the popular vote in any state is certain to go to Candidate X, then...

Yes, I can appreciate that thinking. It's a matter of conscience that you don't give your support to either of those candidates, even though abstaining has been described as giving half a vote to the candidate who ultimately does win. Most people I hear from or read in their online posts...

How many of those people, I wonder, are also saying--in effect--that they'll be equally happy with the policies and appointments of Biden and his handlers...or with Trump and his policies and appointments? There's little doubt that, when we consider two men who have each been in the...

Sometime I'd like to hear what a voter who doesn't care for either candidate intends to do in November. We get that neither one of the candidates of the Big Two parties is appealing, but... What about their respective accomplishments or failures while in office? Does this matter? Does...

I agree, but it's worse than that in my view. Biden's deteriorating condition has been unfolding before our eyes over the past months. It's not a graceful or gradual decline, and it didn't just begin on the day of the debate despite the many reports of people who were shocked on that occasion as...

Yes, but only to the extent of there being a reproduction of the famous "Last Supper" painting. A church I used to belong to had a painting of the Ascension of Christ, but those are both Biblical scenes, not one of those unrealistic "portrait" type pictures some Christians like and have in...

For sure. But he probably also imagines that his policies have indeed been for the good of the country.
