Al-Anon Family Groups: Help and hope for families and friends of alcoholics. Meetings are every Sunday at Silver Dollar II Club, Suite 707, 2729 E Moody Blvd., Bunnell, and on zoom.

Notably: A sight from inside The Anchor in Flagler Beach the other evening, as the beach renourishment barge (one of two) swung by, feeding sand onto the beach near the pier. The project was nearing its end. It’s been as if an undersea volcano poured this million square yards of sand on the latest first day of creation. Worth the martini and mussels, god’s apéritif after his/her/their third day.

The pint bottle in my hip pocket must have showed, the way I was standing, for someone touched my shoulder and said,
“Pal, can you spare a drink outa that there bottle?” I turned around and looked at him, wondering if I should give him one and then take him into the tavern to give Charlie a gander at him. Bringing in my own prospect would be better, in a way, than picking someone up inside. But I decided against it. He was a bum and a wino all right, but a young one, and fairly husky, a hillbilly kid; a lot of them turn wino when they hit a city. He was red-eyed and had the shakes- a hopeless alcoholic who’d probably be better off dead- but why should we take the chance of picking someone who might fight back and give us trouble when there were so many complete wrecks to pick from, old geezers who couldn’t blow the foam off a beer? I told him to get lost and he got lost. At least, I guess he did; I never saw him again and he never knew what he missed.

—From Fredric Brow’s The Murderers (1961).

    While Kamala Harris is repeatedly being ridiculed by Foxy Republicans for her laugh, her smile, her joy. . . just take a moment to gain a little insight into the trump White House:

    General McMaster describes meetings in the Oval Office as “exercises in competitive sycophancy” during which Trump’s advisers would flatter the president by saying stuff like, “Your instincts are always right” or, “No one has ever been treated so badly by the press.” Meanwhile, Trump would say “outlandish” things like, “Why don’t we just bomb the drugs?” in Mexico or, “Why don’t we take out the whole North Korean Army during one of their parades?”

    Republicans, is this kind of extremely dangerous chaos what you want in our Presidency again. . . even worse, this time without guard rails? Really?

    Just a gentle reminder, Ed P.

    I typed in 2024 Republican Party platform; it dropped on July 8th, after the Convention.

    I typed in 2024 Democratic Party platform; it dropped on July 13th and was formally adopted in August at the Convention.

    I thought the new Ed P was willing to investigate before posting. Please, you have shown your capabilities. Why backslide now? It took me only a few seconds to search. There they both were.

    Of course, I have to consider the possibility that you looked and found the policies, yet you decided to engage in an act of overt disinformation. I like to think you didn’t, or wouldn’t, do that, but who knows? The election beckons for us all and the “pestilential” among us might be getting antsy.

    If your goal was for you to try to control the narrative, please remember that when I was a prosecutor, I always controlled the narrative. I decided which witnesses testified when. I decided which narrative was discussed in the order of my choosing. I decided what to argue to the jury and how to argue it. The overall story developed as I intended it to develop.

    I can’t help but think it probable that Vice-President Harris took the same position as a prosecutor as I did when I was a prosecutor. Maybe I am wrong. But no one can dispute the fact that the policies of both parties are out there for all to see, if only the people take the time to look.

    Right now, the Harris policy might be to allow former President Trump to lie himself into a pretzel. Does it really hurt her candidacy when former President Trump so openly lies? For example, I recently commented on the fact that a few days ago Mr. Trump stood in front of a border wall built during the Obama administration. He pointed to a nearby portion of wall started but not finished during the Trump years and claimed that it was a “Kamala” wall. He called the Obama wall the “Rolls Royce” of walls, a “Trump wall”, only it was never a Trump wall.

    The Washington analyzed “dozens” of recently aired different Trump ads, finding that the ads used “chaotic scenes that were filmed in 2018 under the Trump administration.” … “One commercial in particular showed footage of Central American migrants in Tijuana rushing the southern border. The voice-over and text blamed Democrats for the unrest, which actually unfolded during Trump’s presidency.”

    Is it reasonable, under these facts, that one candidacy is actively seeking to mislead the American public through disinformation and tactics of fear?
    And that the other candidacy is tightly controlling its narrative?
