Commentary Missing the Point 

Missing the Point – A simple, but nonetheless powerful argument for not voting for Donald Trump.

September 16, 2024 Les Cohen

It’s simple.  Either you trust Donald Trump, more than you trust Kamala Harris, or you don’t.  Forget about understanding “the weeds” of government policies and programs.  What does your gut tell you?  Which of the two candidates is more likely to be lying to you from the Oval Office?

Missing the Point – The Republican Party Elephant in the Room

August 15, 2024 Les Cohen

So, despite your many proven qualities as a government official, we’re breaking up.  It’s not you, Larry.  It’s your party.  Simply put, I refuse to do anything that might assure Republicans control over the Senate.

Missing the Point – The Economics and Politics of Inflation

August 5, 2024 Les Cohen

The same voters who will blame the Democrats for the recession we may be about to have, but which the FED has caused…  Vice President Harris should talk to voters about changing the way government manages the economy.

Missing the Point – Sorry, Joe, but it’s time to say “Good-Biden”

July 2, 2024 Les Cohen

Whether it is physically true or not, a significant majority of Democratic and independent voters have concluded that Joe Biden is no longer qualified to be President – and will be less and less so during a second term if he is re-elected.

Missing the Point – Baltimore, Treading Water Until The Next Election

May 15, 2024May 15, 2024 Les Cohen

So, Mayor Brandon Scott has been re-elected with just over 50% of the vote.  The general election in November will make it official unless a viable petition candidate comes from out of nowhere to challenge him.  Wouldn’t that be something?

Missing the Point – In Government We Do Not Trust

May 8, 2024 Les Cohen

Are we perfect?  Far from it.  To put it mildly, freedom, democracy, and capitalism are a hot mess if ever there was one.  We are and will forever be a very mixed bag of people trying to figure our collective selves out, to agree on what is the good and right thing to do, and then make it happen.

Missing the Point – Shaving Donald Trump with Occam’s Razor

May 1, 2024 Les Cohen

The fact is, Donald Trump is as dumb as he is nuts – and that, as it turns out, is his secret weapon.  He’s an idiot, but someone from whom we have a lot to learn.

Missing the Point – Brandon Scott, Playing Baltimore Voters for Suckers

April 24, 2024April 24, 2024 Les Cohen

Why are Scott and Dixon leading when they neither of them has been able to stop and reverse the decline of the City of Baltimore?  Because they’re the best-known candidates in the field and, for various reasons, better-qualified candidates were not interested in running.

Missing the Point – Checks and Balances and the Disqualification of Justice Clarence Thomas

April 17, 2024 Les Cohen

Has Congress ever limited what the Supreme Court can consider?  As a matter of fact, it has.  Many times, although not recently.  You’d think the Republicans would be all over this option to save their innocent leader from spending the rest of his life in jail.

Missing the Point – Is the Electoral College constitutional?

April 10, 2024 Les Cohen

Donald Trump may one day be imprisoned for persistently claiming that Joe Biden stole the 2020 election.  I’m talking about what is known as “The Big Lie.”  Ironically, a better argument can be made, albeit for different reasons, that it was Trump who stole the 2016 election by gaming the Electoral College process which is unconstitutional.
