Commentary After an 18-hour Internet and Cable TV outage, all I can say is, “You can never be too wired!” You know how they’re always saying, “We’re too wired.” “We spend too much time looking at our screens.” “Things would be a lot less stressful if we would simply ‘unplug’ and begin to live inContinue reading “Who says we’re “too wired?””

Pence: “Under the inspired, magnificent, exceptional, superlative leadership of President Donald Trump…”
Commentary Not so fast adoring one – Trump had nothing to do with Pfizer’s potential Covid-19 vaccine. Lame-duck Vice President Mike Pence broke his post-election silence today when he appeared to give credit to the Trump administration for the development of what might be an effective Covid-19 vaccine developed by Pfizer. In a tweet, PenceContinue reading “Pence: “Under the inspired, magnificent, exceptional, superlative leadership of President Donald Trump…””
Who Said That?
Commentary Welcome to the first Around the Block “Who Said That?” game. Yes, welcome to the game. The rules are simple. We will post two comments from two different individuals.

Biden Wins!
Commentary Happy Days are Here Again! This says it all.
America, the Beautiful…er Appalling
Commentary The aftermath of the election is showing America’s true character. Led by the President and his enablers, and supported by almost half the population, this is a litigious, mendacious, deceitful, hypocritical nation. Earlier this morning, as the results started trickling in showing Joe Biden taking slim leads in Georgia and Pennsylvania while maintaining similarlyContinue reading “America, the Beautiful…er Appalling”
The Divided States of America!
Commentary How did this happen? How do we fix it?

“Smile, though your heart is breaking…”
Commentary “Oh, what a night!” With apologies to Charles Chaplin and the Four Seasons, last night was a doozy! As I pen this column at 8:00am EST, here are some potential outcomes of this convoluted, consequential Election Day. (Sorry, West Coast readers, by the time you read this, some of the scenarios will history.)
Election Day is here. As you watch the results, ask yourself – why do people vote for Trump?
Commentary Trump: “In my opinion, these patriots did nothing wrong. Instead, the FBI & Justice should be investigating the terrorists, anarchists, and agitators of ANTIFA.” Yesterday, otherwise known to readers of Around the Block, as the “One Day More” day, I watched videos where Trump supporters in Texas surrounded a Biden campaign bus, intimidating theContinue reading “Election Day is here.

One Day More!
With apologies, and thanks, to Claude-Michel Schönberg, Alain Boublil, Victor Hugo, all the casts and crews of “Les Misérables” and finally to SNL…
On this last day before Tuesday, November 3, 2020, Election Day, I can only say, ONE DAY MORE!
Hey Trump voter, bet you didn’t know this!
Commentary Republicans, Not Biden, Are About to Raise Your Taxes In an Op-Ed today in the New York Times, Nobel Prize and Columbia University professor Joseph Stiglitz (yeah, I know another left-wing liberal elite) argues, “The Trump administration has a dirty little secret: It’s not just planning to increase taxes on most Americans. The increaseContinue reading “Hey Trump voter, bet you didn’t know this!”
