Thwart Trump’s deviousness by helping to ensure voters get their ballots in early. How can that be facilitated? Since many voters wait to cast their votes until they see their newspaper’s endorsements, how about this: encourage newspapers to publish their endorsements as early as possible.

Trump Administration Penalizes Chinese Officials for Hong Kong Crackdown
Even if Trump and his toadies knew what irony meant, they still wouldn’t get it!
“Who’s the Dumbest Republican Governor?”
All right folks, it’s time for another edition of “Who’s the Dumbest Republican Governor?”, hosted by a former dumb GOP governor, VP Mike Pence.
Jacksonville the front-runner for GOP Convention
As Republicans seek to change the venue to renominate Trump, the real question is “Why do they want to renominate Trump?”
“Raid the Mailboxes” and other street games we played
It’s probably hard to believe that a Trump presser in the Oval Office in which he railed about absentee ballots and voter fraud would remind me of growing up in Brooklyn. But it did…with a little “Around the Block – News with a Twist” imagination thrown in.
US asking Israel to eliminate China ties in sensitive areas
Today’s Around the Block concerns two recent headlines.
1. Jerusalem Post: “US asking Israel to eliminate China ties in sensitive areas.”
2. New York Times: “Chinese Ambassador Is Found Dead at Home in Israel
Eliminate?
Coincidence?
Just saying!
WaPo: Administration scrambles to stop people from injecting disinfectants
Note: An earlier version of this post went out to an email distribution. Due to popular demand, I am posting it on Around the Block as well.
As the administration scrambled to contain the Trump “drink disinfectant” advice (I think that’s called an “unforced error” in tennis…oh, wait, Trump’s a golfer, maybe he should get a “mulligan.” But I digress.), among the administration’s admonitions were these:
“Dumb as a box of rocks”
Keeping up with the dumb theme, with regard to writing about the Trump circle, dumb is not new topic for me.
In fact, back in 2016 I posted two pieces characterizing two Trump sons as “Dumb as a box of rocks.”
Hope you enjoy the nostalgia.
Around the Block – This and That
A friend emailed me yesterday saying, “I consider myself to be a somewhat rational person, but listening to Pence’s non-stop babbling and “fearless leader” bullshit on Meet the Press this morning literally brought me tears.
My reply:
You watched? My TV automatically changes to any channel that the Three Stooges are on when Pence appears. And when Trump is on, the TV switches to a Marx Brothers’ movie, preferably “The Cocoanuts,” “Monkey Business,” or “At the Circus,” as those three most aptly describe our current situation.
The Trump family seder
Note: This was sent to me by a friend. I understand that it, like a few others, has been making the social media rounds. So forgive me if you’ve already seen it. I just couldn’t help myself as it is one of the best depictions of a Passover seder I’ve ever read.
Also, forgive me for sending out two “Around the Block” posts in one day. But with Passover almost over, this one couldn’t wait.
