Trump targets senior supporters

March 26, 2024June 24, 2024
Gary Edmondson
Editorial, National Politics

          Since former Oklahoma Republican Rep. Mickey Edwards called out the cult-like devotion of Donald Trump’s followers in 2021, more and more people have come to recognize the accuracy of his assessment. Perhaps the most striking example of his followers’

Bad actors stage political theater

March 12, 2024June 24, 2024
Gary Edmondson
Editorial, National Politics

          “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players; they have their exits and their entrances.” Familiar words now, but for how much longer once Republican cancel-cultural commandos realize that Shakespeare wrote a slew of

Bad programming causes problems

February 27, 2024June 24, 2024
Gary Edmondson
Editorial, National Politics

                 If I rise early enough six mornings of the week, I can start the day with cartoons. Saturdays are guaranteed since the cartoon block runs from 6-9 a.m. Weekdays it is only 6-7. Maybe we don’t need laughs on

Stop laughing at Donald Trump

February 13, 2024June 23, 2024
Gary Edmondson
Editorial, National Politics

          It is time to stop laughing at Donald Trump.           Sure, the constant reminder of his mental decline offers momentary delight as righteous payback to his egotistical, bigoted, bullying ways.           • In signing up for the New Hampshire

Rich get richer – according to plan

February 6, 2024June 23, 2024
Gary Edmondson
Editorial, National Politics

          It became an American literary legend. In one of his short stories, F. Scott Fitzgerald famously pronounced:           “Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me. They possess and enjoy early, and

Gird your loins; we’re in a fight

January 15, 2024June 23, 2024
Gary Edmondson
Editorial, National Politics

          Years ago, when my political party participation was at a minimum, my public pronouncements could only reverberate to me. That allowed me to be more extreme (more honest?) in calling out the opposition.           This was a deliberate tactic.

Global warming, right on schedule

January 15, 2024June 23, 2024
Gary Edmondson
Climate Crisis, Editorial, National Politics

          If the weather forecasters were correct – and they are sometimes – we are emerging from some of our coldest temperatures in years. And it will remain cold this week. I’ve had a heater running under my kitchen sink.

New year starts problematically

January 9, 2024June 23, 2024
Gary Edmondson
Editorial, National Politics

          New Year’s Day. Seeking solace.           Sitting on the front porch in the afternoon Sun. It’s cool enough that a stray breeze chills. I’m wearing my toboggan cap to insulate my bald head. Warmth wherever the Sun strikes me.

Democrats need a dose of reality

January 2, 2024June 23, 2024
Gary Edmondson
Editorial, National Politics

          Democrats need to face reality and find a better presidential ticket than Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for next year’s election. This is not a criticism of the Bidenomics that has revitalized the economy. My dissatisfaction with the administration’s
