Time for me to recalibrate. I celebrated my 77th birthday in Jan. I resigned from the county Dem Central Committee. Still will be involved in local water policy and fighting ageism.

From Anguish to Aggression: Trump Goes on Offense After Midair Collision President Trump at moments of national tragedy has always been more comfortable finding fault than providing comfort or expressing empathy.

In the wake of this week’s deadly aircraft collision near Washington, President Trump happily jumped to conclusions and pulled the U.S. apart rather than together, Peter Baker writes. "He has long demonstrated that he is more comfortable as the blamer in chief than consoler in chief."

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good.

Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.

Great. I am very happy Alabama was not given a berth.

@sjsuathletics.bsky.social I'm interested in an analysis of Sparta's early recruiting class. The Merc is so biased in favor of Stanford and Cal they don't give SJSU much attention.

I just finished a very good little (207 pages) novel, "Headshot" by Rita Bullwinkle. It's an unconventional subject (teenage girls competitive boxing) with terrific character development.

Never bad to buy someone a book.

Sunday School. I believed that stuff about feeding the hungry, love thy neighbor,etc. I just didn't realize that very few of the people in the pews actually believed in Christianity.
