1. Maybe this COVID-19 year will flummox the political Gods

What do we get for all the money spent on politics? Division, frustration, anger. We donate large sums of money, I daresay it's a drain on some households so that people who are paid far better than 75% of the population can jet all over the country and ride in limousines and tell us they are celebrities as they go on all the talk shows. YOU getting any limousine rides?

Half the reporters are excellent, half are dopey, some have Ivy League degrees but can't use the English language properly. Maybe it's the focus on star power, I find the smarter ones are among the oldest. The youngsters are doing the leg work and paid to look good, sound good, but don't say anything smart it might damage your career.

This system is in need of some change.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
