I turned 65 on Saturday. Medicare city, baby. I’m grateful for the coverage, but even for a guy who spent his career in and around government, I found the sign-up process to be over-complicated and downright befuddling at times. It was worse than trying to figure out how to get my iPhone to work. Anyway,Continue reading “The Catch Up: Will MMSD Hire Gothard?”

The Q&Q For 2/16/24
This week’s quote comes to us from none other than Russian President Vladimir Putin, who when asked who he’d like to see win the November election said: “Biden, he’s more experienced, more predictable, he’s a politician of the old formation,” A) To send out a fundraising email touting the apparent endorsement from “my good friendContinue reading “The Q&Q For 2/16/24”
Will the Border Work For Dems?
Americans want something done at the southern border. Democrats, to the outrage of their hard-left wing, are serious about doing something meaningful as are some Senate Republicans. But the Trumpy Party as a whole would rather exploit the issue than deal with it. Will voters notice? This week we got a clear picture — asContinue reading “Will the Border Work For Dems?”
Mod Dems Win
My partisan Democratic friends are popping champagne bottles over Democrat Tom Suozzi’s win in a special election to replace the storied George Santos in his Long Island district. For the most part, I think their enthusiasm is at best premature. The New York Times’ Nate Cohn wrote this morning: Over the last three decades, thereContinue reading “Mod Dems Win”
Moving On From Biden
Let’s get serious about replacing Joe Biden and Kamala Harris on the Democratic ticket. All I want to do is to keep Donald Trump out of the White House. While I like Biden, like the vast majority of Democrats, I have no particular loyalty to him. I’ve stuck with him, more or less, until recentlyContinue reading “Moving On From Biden”
The Update: Joe’s Woes
The Chiefs won just as the NFL and Joe Biden arranged it and as was mandated by the U.N.’s Agenda 21. I’m pretty sure George Soros was also involved. Let’s catch up on what else happened last week. Not up for the job. Pres. Joe Biden and his supporters are right that the special counselContinue reading “The Update: Joe’s Woes”
The Q&Q For 2/9/24
This week’s quote comes to us from Rep. Mike Gallagher, one of only three Republicans to defy his party and vote against the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. In a piece in the Wall Street Journal, Gallagher wrote: “I disagree with my Republican colleagues who voted on Tuesday to impeach Mr. Mayorkas. ImpeachmentContinue reading “The Q&Q For 2/9/24”
Evers Should Approve His Own Maps
Democrats should accept ‘yes’ for an answer. In a development that would have been considered impossible a year ago — and would have been thought unlikely even a few weeks ago — legislative Republicans are now talking about approving Gov. Tony Evers’ legislative district maps just as he submitted them to the state Supreme Court.Continue reading “Evers Should Approve His Own Maps”
The Fall of the Hard-Left
The hard-left is in retreat. The evidence is everywhere. I started YSDA three years ago primarily to write things that I suspected other moderates and erstwhile liberal Democrats were thinking, but felt too intimidated to say out loud. Are we really now against a color blind society? Do we really think it’s okay to discriminateContinue reading “The Fall of the Hard-Left”
Trump Kills Immigration Deal
What’s best for the country is that we come up with policies that bring order to the chaos at our southern border. That would also be good for Pres. Joe Biden and Democrats who are just getting killed on this issue. That’s why I was so pleasantly surprised that Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell wasContinue reading “Trump Kills Immigration Deal”
