I know I have not been reading and commenting a lot these past couple weeks, but I have been reading and writing in my old-fashioned composition books and preparing some of those writings for here on Vocal.

White House defended a video
To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to express deep concern regarding the recent incident involving President Donald Trump during his visit to the Ford factory in Dearborn, Michigan.

A Jerk and an Idiot Meet in a Bar
A Jerk and an Idiot Meet in a Bar Well not in a bar, per se, social media. After all, it is the bar of our modern times. It’s where we hook up with friends, family, dates, or trysts. Places like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and others, all designed for social interaction with anonymity and limited consequences, for bad behavior. Often these entities dole out consequences to parties that are not causing a problem, and give a blind eye to serious problems.
