You can lower the price of bread by taking your boot of the neck of energy producers. Republicans will do that. The problem is, my fellow Democrats have Malthusian Climate-Derangement Syndrome. That's what causes inflation. If Democratic luminaries like James Carville can't understand basic physical economics, I really need to change my affiliation.

I know that there's just so much to talk about and analyze that you can't talk about everything but I have a question that's been nagging at me for a couple of months. First I wonder if it's really saying much to say that the election last November was the safest or most secure ever. Obviously the statement was meant to undermine the lie that Trump has been pushing among others for the past several months. Isn't it possible Trump knows there was cheating in this election but that the party omitted him to get rid of him? How do candidates as unpopular as McConnell and Collins get elected with majority votes even in heavily Democratic areas? The machines were DRE not Dominion. Was Trump projecting Republican guilt when he lied?

Seriously I ask you this. In the last few weeks as Trump's panic and anger have grown, his eyes are revealing. Lizard eyes(!) for lack of a better term. Masks focus our eyes on other's eyes. An insight into the mind or soul of the man. It's that simple for him: He does not want us to see through this window. I think he looked in the mirror with a mask on his face and saw his own eyes and knew what they would reveal, if only subconsciously. What do you think?

When Janes lamented that on Thursday morning he felt he could no longer go on because trump's popularity is incomprehensible, that is exactly how I felt. But I have too go on, just like him.

Listening from New Zealand. Fantastic! Heard of Hames Carville who is brilliant. But Al Hunt is brilliant too. Great guests and great granular insight that you don’t get with cable news.
