As President Biden struggles to find a classified document discovery hiatus that allows him to announce his re-election plans nearly three quarters of Americans believe the country is on the wrong track. Here is why:

• Climate alarmism and the Price of Energy

When Biden took office and cancelled the Keystone pipeline, gas and heating oil were under $2.50 a gallon, America was energy independent and the climate alarmists were only dreaming of banning internal combustion engines and gas stoves.

The cold snap (February made me shiver) and our next President’s ongoing efforts to vaccinate Florida from the woke virus inspired me (with apologies to Don McLean):

Long long time ago, I can still remember

How diversity used to make me smile

And I knew if I had my chance

That I could make those divas dance

And maybe they'd be happy for a while

But February made me shiver

With every lecture I'd deliver

Bad news on the laptop

Indoctrination had to stop

2023 is just getting started, but the 2024 Presidential election is well under way. I would rather pay attention to spring training, but given the likely mediocrity (at best) of the Red Sox, my attention to Florida will be more on Tallahassee than Fort Myers.

Preventing Derailment: Conquering Rancor by Building Unity

It has become apparent that there are a lot of hurt feelings and rancor being disseminated on social media in Calais in regard to the current administration of Irene Chadbourne Ecumenical Food Pantry.  This must stop.

On August 14, 1935, President Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act, setting up a system of payroll taxes supporting retirees. The retirement age of 65 exceeded average life expectancy at the time by about a year. August 14th, 1935 was also my father’s 8th birthday, and in 10 years would be V - J Day, marking Japan’s surrender and the end of WWII.
