Life is short. To live it well, it's important you know who has your back.

Last week Americans were shocked to see a police officer murder Minneapolis citizen George Floyd. And the three officers who watched him do it.

This sort of thing isn't supposed to happen in America. Cops are supposed to protect citizens. It's their job.

The toughest part of the Pandemic won't be jump-starting the economy, although that's going to be plenty tough.

It's going to be doing without Chinese.

And that doesn't mean your Kung Pao chicken takeout.

It's all the "stuff" we've grown to love. Inexpensive fun things we're used to buying at our favorite store

You may think the Democrats are dead wrong to run Joe Biden for president, because you think he's not playing with a full deck.

You may even have asked, "Is that the best they've got?"

Democrats do seem to troll for candidates from the very bottom of the barrel. But you're not entirely right.

As Chef Bobby Flay once said, "I don't usually jump when I'm told to."

Americans usually don't. It has something to do with the U.S. Constitution. And being American.

But lately all we're learning to ask is, "How high?"

Since February, the experts have told us they don't know the Why-and-Where

While you were at home, wondering if there was enough peanut butter at the bottom of the jar to make a sandwich, J.Lo and A-Rod were jockeying to buy the New York Mets.

Different strokes for different folks.

But that's okay. J.Lo and A-Rod both worked hard for their money, and normal Americans never env

The Grand Canyon is closed, and the Girl Scouts are getting a bailout because they haven't been able to get out and sell their cookies.

The Washington Post's Jeff Bezos doesn't want the "Great American Lockdown" to end.

Why should he? Amazon's doing fine.

Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg is dying to "help" identify Americans with Coronavirus. To track them. Where they've been. Who they've contacted.

Who they vote for.

Why shouldn't he? It'

"Hand to mouth." "Paycheck to paycheck." These aren't just terms of art.

They are a description of how a lot of Americans live.

But not those who have job security and money in the bank.

The people in the media. In Congress. And those who are making, and justifying, our House

Pay your taxes. Keep your nose clean. 

But still, your good deeds will not go unpunished.

In Maryland, people following Coronavirus guidelines will be charged with a misdemeanor if they dare go outside for other than essentials.

In D.C., feckless Mayor Bowser announced that those who don't stay home could be fined up to $
