    Is Hobson* on the ballot? Have Democrats out-flanked Trump/Vance like Gen. Gerd von Rundstedt bypassing the Maginot Line to surprise the French in the Ardennes? Democrats appear to be genuinely enthused. Might be just relief that the party just dodged a bullet. (Too soon?) Voters have been telling pollsters they’re tired of the same two…

    Jill Biden has spoken Morning after reaction to Biden quitting the race We’re snarfing up all the reaction, commentary, prognoses, tea leaves, and navel gazing following Joe Biden’s announcement Sunday 07-21-24 that Father Time beat him in a TKO.

  • Pro-Hamas Democrats will ‘re-elect’ Trump!

    Price check at City Hall! The City of Madison is now in the grocery business! Sweetened the pot with another $1 million. On top of $4.6 million to purchase ground-floor grocery space on S.
