Unchained: Small Moves, Big Consequences

Posted on January 23, 2021 by ScottSoriano

So, here we go, the Joseph R. Biden Administration. Though the people occupying the White House have changed, I will be writing about the Biden administration with the same directness I did with the previous occupant. I will criticize and condemn when need be. I will give props when it is warranted and rare praise…

Give Up The Funk: What We Did & What To Do Now

Posted on January 20, 2021 by ScottSoriano

Well, that was a long 1,461 days! My lord! I’ve been writing on the Trump presidency nearly every day since it started and I am not totally sure what happened over last four years and don’t think we will know the depth of things for quite some time. There are, though, historical markers, events that…

News & Not Knowing: How We Understand Unfolding Events

Posted on January 13, 2021 by ScottSoriano

Before the internet, cell phones, and instant communication, news was reported and consumed like this:  An event happened. Planned or spontaneous, the reporters on the scene reported what was happening in real-time. Of the three mediums – print, television, radio – radio was usually the first to report an event in real-time. The reason for…

(Failed) Insurrection Time: What Now?

Posted on January 8, 2021January 8, 2021 by ScottSoriano

Immediately during and after events such as Wednesday’s failed Trumpist insurrection, I hop on the Facebook and warn about overreaction. My warnings often elicit a quick response from people who are angry and frustrated and want something to happen now. Some of the backlashers frame my warnings as me not taking a situation seriously and/or…

Down In Flames: Thoughts on King Tubby & His Demise

Posted on January 6, 2021 by ScottSoriano

So, Donald Trump, occupant of the White House, made another stupidly self-destructive phone call, this one to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger urging him to overturn Georgia’s presidential election results. Regardless of what was going on in Trump’s head, whether he truly believes the crap he talked or was trying to cynically strongarm Raffensperger…

The Year 2020 Was A Year

Posted on January 1, 2021January 2, 2021 by ScottSoriano

No doubt about it, 2020 was a rough year. It certainly wasn’t a good year, but was it necessarily a bad year? Perhaps, 2020 was like all years, it was a year. Pluck any year out of history and lay out the important major and minor universal or near-universal events and pick through them. Now,…

Party Poopers: Where to Now for the Republican Party?

Posted on December 15, 2020December 15, 2020 by ScottSoriano

The Republican Party is in deep, deep trouble. We read a lot about Democrats in Disarray, but truth is  the Democrats “disarray” is a permanent and mostly healthy struggle within the party over policy and direction. The Republican’s problem is foundational. They are in the midst of a party realignment, with two factions fighting for…

Georgia & A Progressive Path Forward

Posted on December 9, 2020 by ScottSoriano

Monday evening, I watched the Georgia senate runoff debate between Kelly Loeffler and Raphael Warnock. Warnock is minister and the Democratic challenger. Loeffler is the sitting senator, a billionaire Republican Trump-ally appointed by Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp. Loeffler finds herself in a tricky place now that Kemp is on Trump’s shitlist for not helping the…

Back in October, New York public health officials were concerned about rising COVID rates in Brooklyn, particular emanating from houses of worship, which had been holding mass gatherings with few pandemic precautions and lax mask wearing. Governor Cuomo responded by adopting tiered restrictions based on the infection rate in said communities. Specifically, …the executive order…

Thanks!

Posted on November 26, 2020November 26, 2020 by ScottSoriano

Thanksgiving 2020 and, man, am I thankful for a lot of things – For the 80,026,721 people who voted to dump the president and those who work to make sure he goes; For the people who fought the administration in court and worked the system to limit and stop the damage; For the workers who…
