has become a "bad" word. Allow me to elaborate. My psych-girl has pointed out to me that I'm transactional. In addition, Maggie Haberman, in her recently released book, Confidence Man (2022); Haberman uses the word time and again to describe Donald Trump in a disparaging way. Here's my question? Regarding transactions and gifts, etc. and all. It's … Continue reading Transactional

Neil Young, Spotify, Joe Rogan, and Donald Trump
Yes it's true - they're linked. I've always been a huge fan of Neil Young. For over fifty years, and it's also true that I kind of take offense about all the jokes going around.

The Perfect Storm Hypothesis
is an idea I agree with. In essence it is: What happened could not have have happened in any other way than it did. I first encountered it in a personality theory class. Raymond B. Cattell, an English/American Psychologist (1905-1998)) devised a theory, a formula, for why individuals do what they do. He was a … Continue reading The Perfect Storm Hypothesis

Election 2020: My Prediction
I can't help myself, despite my psych-girl's counsel (to be quite). I have to go on the record. I was right in 2016, and think I'm right again. Why Trump Wins even bigger than before? You might ask? Because, as before, I believe my own eyes, ears, and analysis. In other words, I base my … Continue reading Election 2020: My Prediction

I think the phrase applies now as then. You can read my review of the book here. The perfect storm describes a confluence of circumstance … Continue reading The Perfect Storm
