If there’s no sports this fall, it’s devastating.

It’s devastating to me because I am running a sports website without the benefit of sports, but it’s devastating for millions because sports is a vital part of their lives. It’s mild in comparison to losing basic social interactions and gatherings, but it’s all part of a general malaise.

No sports. No theaters. No concerts. Few private parties. Few street festivals. What little is allowed is at risk.

Make America great again. Ha! President Twitter takes no responsibility. Neither do his sycophants. They round up their familiar suspects: Obama, Hillary, Soros, Pelosi, Schumer, Democrats, liberals, media, fake news, Black Lives Matter, Antifa, the godless, commies, socialists, anarchists, those who worship other gods, protesters, rioters, looters, young, old, ad infinitum.

One would think President Twitter was not in charge.

One would think it intellectually dishonest if it were intellectual at all.

Here is the essential flaw in whataboutistry. If one blames it on Obama, et al., one is approving of what the alleged suspect did.

Obama did it, too. Hillary did it, too. LBJ, JFK, FDR, yada, yada, yada.

President Twitter is in charge now. His standard operating procedure is to take what he is doing and has done and say everyone else is.

Joe Biden, these people say, is a doddering old man. String together all the gaffes, lies and exaggerations of President Twitter in the past four years and they would stretch to the moon and back while Biden’s occasional flustered misstatements would barely reach the outskirts of town.

President Twitter thought Finland was a part of Russia. He recommended that South Korea solve its security problems by moving its capital, Seoul, to another location. Seoul has twice as many people as New York City…

But forget about who’s old and who isn’t, who’s stupid and who’s smart, and who’s conservative and who’s liberal.

This morning’s tweet about delaying the election underscores what I have noticed all along.

President Twitter cannot govern effectively as anything other than a dictator.

I don’t see how anyone who claims to support the Constitution can also support President Twitter.

Take a look at my new website, Laurens County Sports. It’s undoubtedly going to be better when Laurens County has actual sports again.

If you enjoy my insights about racing and other subjects, make a small pledge of support. Rewards are in place for pledges of $5 or more. If 1/10 of my followers and Facebook friends pledge $1 a month, I’ll be set. Read all about it here.

If you yearn for my writing in larger doses, I’ve written quite a few books. Most are available here.

Lightning in a Bottle, the first of my two motorsports novels, is now available in audio (Audible, Amazon, iTunes) with the extraordinary narration of Jay Harper.

My eighth novel, a political crime thriller, is called Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. It’s right up to date with the current political landscape in the country.

My writing on other topics that strike my fancy is posted here.
