As much as I love puffins, I live in New Jersey. We only have seagulls and Canadian geese.

I write about domestic (US) politics. Foreign affairs interest me, but I am not knowledgeable enough about them to write about them.

I do write about Biden, not always positively. I feel that he deceived the public when he was running. He said he was going to be a bridge to future leaders which we all understood to mean that he would serve only one term.

We elected him to come in, clean up the messes that Trump made and then hand over the reins of power in 2025 to a new president.

Turns out he never had any intention of only serving one term.

My views on Asia? Someone needs to squash that annoying little bug in North Korea. And China is a growing danger. Is anyone paying attention to their Belt & Road initiative? Anyone? Anyone?

I had no idea that we wanted to build a base in Australia, but let me ask you this. Do you feel that Australia is capable of going toe to toe with China alone? Wouldn't you rather send in the Americans first to soften them up?

Yes, I know that Americans are loud, annoying and belligerent, but we make great cannon fodder.
