The documentary Fight Like Hell (2024) shook me to my core. It's about the January 6th, 2021 riot at the US Capital. The film doesn't take sides. Most of the videos were shot in real time during the riot. However, there is a lot of important video of the lead-up to that day. The preceding events, if … Continue reading “Fight Like Hell”: My review of the documentary

2Way- live streaming political discourse: a review.
2Way is a new live streaming political discourse platform. It is the brainchild of Mark Halperin, a long-time political journalist, reporter, producer, and author. I first became aware of him in the 2008 US presidential election via MSNBC. I'd thought he was one of the good ones--meaning honest and fair-minded. During the 2016 election, he had … Continue reading 2Way- live streaming political discourse: a review.
Traumatized: We Don’t Stop
Trauma is "stress without resolve." So says Teal Swan, and I agree. Swan also says that unresolved trauma manifests as problems with one's physical, mental, and emotional health. Again, I agree. Furthermore she says that trauma "lies at the root of the vast majority of physical illnesses." I concur. That has been the case in … Continue reading Traumatized: We Don’t Stop

Maureen Dowd and the Presidents
Maureen Dowd is one of my favorite writers. She's been at The New York Times for decades and covering politics, particularly US presidents, for thirty-six years. Beginning with George Herbert Walker Bush, or 41, who was very fond of her. Keep that in mind. Dowd was recently interviewed about that at the New Orleans book festival. I … Continue reading Maureen Dowd and the Presidents

Because I wanted to watch the Denver Nuggets play the Boston Celtics in what was being billed as an NBA Finals preview. Wow! The game was not a disappointment. The … Continue reading State Of The Union: 2024

Young broke it out on his 1975 album Zuma. It is about Cortez, Moetezuma II, war and peace. In the 16th Century! Seems relevant given the state of … Continue reading Cortez the Killer: smash or pass
