The Kid Vs. The Crook
A classic in Baja Oklahoma, aka Texas, where the choices for United States senator could not be more stark – Republican nominee Ken Paxton’s situation is unstable, while Democratic nominee James Talarico’s offers generational change.
This contest not only could decide control of that powerful institution, but also finally put guardrails around the worst and most dangerous president in the 250-year history of America.
The MAGA gift-wrapped Senate seat is not a done deal yet ,but the long-awaited blue wave down yonder is forming now in the Rio Grande River – soon to crest there and flow north to the Hill Country, then disregard geography by meandering along I-35 uphill until finally arriving at the Red River in time to impact elections in Ruby Red Oklahoma … which has been slowly, very slowly, fading from reactionary red to hints of azure blue.
The MAGA Militia, led by monster moron Trump, is coming apart at the seams with three cabinet clunkers clobbered and returned to their caves, and the last vestiges of common sense purged from the Congress – Cassidy, Massie and now Cornyn.
Internationally, Trump has done it again ... Promised to solve an overseas crisis on Day One of a second term – readers may have heard of Ukraine but, if not, surely Gaza, with the former still the greatest war in Europe in the last 75 years and the latter now a desolate wasteland of death and destruction – but instead adding the war with Iran to make a perfect trifecta of Trump tomfoolery.
Forgiveness is a valued human trait, but for the 38% of my fellow Americans who still stand with stupid the proper “F” word is forgetfulness. Or from my perspective, a much shorter, four-letter “F” word that fits the Trumpers perfectly and most of you can easily guess it: F-o-o-l.
From the original big lie about the attendance at Trump’s first inauguration to whatever he wrote about last night on Truth Social, his entire time as an occupant of the White House – a total of 1,973 days – the only thing we all can count on from the 45th and now 47th president is to be lied to.
Every day and in every way.
Well, I’m counting days, too ... from now until Jan. 20, 2029 when our long, national nightmare will finally be over.
For me, and perhaps many of you as well, it can’t come a moment too soon.

Mr. Hobson, you represented my Granddaddy Boatright from Lexington years ago. He was an FDR supporter. Between him and his daughter, my mother, I ended up a " yellow dog democrat" but I prefer to call myself an "FDR democrat" just like my mother and grandfather. Finally, I think the pendulum is about to swing against Ronald Regan back to Jack Kennedy. Sanity at last! Thanks for your opinion!
