BRACK: California governor has patience, waiting in the briar patch

By Elliott Brack | One key Democratic figure who seems like B’rer Rabbit, just hiding in the briar patch, is California Governor Gavin Newsom. Some Democrats look upon Newsom as a viable future presidential candidate.  Now age 55, he is perfectly set to run for president in 2028.

BRACK: Thank you, Mr. President, for getting our troops out of Afghanistan

SEPT. 3, 2021  |  Thank you, President Biden. Thank you for taking the bold steps in leadership in getting out the last of our military troops entirely out of Afghanistan by your own August 31 deadline. You did what three other presidents did not or would not do. You also completed this evacuation in the face of unwarranted criticism of your actions.

BRACK: Bet on a political race? Would have better chance on a horse race

BRACK: Bet on a political race? Would have better chance on a horse race

By Elliott Brack   | Horse races I’ll bet on.  But an election? Never.

After all, in horse races, there are certain probabilities. You know the horse’s record and its ancestry, the jockey, trainer and owner’s record, and even track conditions. You also know lots about the horse’s opponents.
