Coronavirus Diaries Day 300: Trump’s pathetic war on America
Donald Trump lost the election. Bigly. Decisively. By more than 6 million popular votes and 74 electoral votes -- the latter representing the same margin he claimed was a "landslide" when he beat "Crooked Hillary" in 2016. Trump got fired, and he and his minions have...

Coronavirus Diaries Day 252: The ‘Voting Dead’
The dead vote went to President-elect Joe Biden. Legions of liberal zombies shambled to polling places and post offices and devoured millions of votes cast for the infernal incumbent. Joe Biden is a grave-robbing thief who stole a second term from soon to be...

Coronavirus Diaries Day 248: Let’s go to the tape!
No words I could wrangle to describe the gob-stopping hypocrisy of Team Trump and Cult 45 can say it better than their own. As they demand time for our soon-to-ex-president to find "emotional closure" over his historic loss to "Sleepy Joe" Biden, CNN went to the tape...

Coronavirus Diaries Day 247: On Veterans Day, Trump tries to bury military vote
Over the past 25 years at this post, I have been blessed to tell the stories of many veterans, both at war and after. Many became dear friends. Some are gone. Others remain. All deserve our thanks, love and respect every day of the year. Genuine thanks, love and...

Coronavirus Diaries Day 241: Americans keep score
Imagine your favorite NFL team advances to the Super Bowl (if there is one this season) and their opponent is an archrival. These teams really hate each other (think Steelers/Ravens) and battle hard through three quarters. The archrivals are up by a field goal, but...

Coronavirus Diaries Day 239: To the ramparts!
Freedom requires exercise. Without it, a democracy gets flabby, its arteries calcify, its heart dies. Chrissy and I arrived at the polls in Old Forge around 8 a.m. and cast ballots 83 and 84. The kindly constable on duty told me the count is never that high before...

Coronavirus Diaries Day 238: We just want it to be over
Windy today. Raw, too. The National Weather Service in Binghamton issued a wind advisory for pretty much all of Northeastern Pennsylvania until 7 p.m. From the advisory: IMPACTS: Gusty winds could blow around unsecured objects. Tree limbs could be blown down and a few...

Coronavirus Diaries Day 235: Biden’s last stand must be in Scranton
With the General Election five short days away, pollsters and pundits are calling Pennsylvania a keystone for victory for either candidate. The candidates and their frantic campaigns clearly see us that way, too. President Trump is hosting COVID-19 superspreader...

Coronavirus Diaries Day 233: Trump courts dead vote
I'm no high-paid political strategist, but it seems self-defeating to expose your most loyal voters to an airborne infectious disease and leave them out in the cold. Dead people don't vote. Not in large numbers, anyway. As COVID-19 infection rates skyrocketed,...

Coronavirus Diaries Day 231: WSJ rejected Hunter Biden story as fake news
I hate to waste any more time on the Hunter Biden "scandal" cooked up by Rudy Giuliani, Steve Bannon and the Kremlin, but it's a soggy Monday and not much else is going on. Sunday was a different story, as "60 Minutes" aired President Trump's disastrous self-pity...
