02/21/24 You, sir, are no Navalny. – Radically Rational

02/21/24 You, sir, are no Navalny.

Trump finally and tepidly praises Navalny, but makes no mention of the murderous dictator who caused his death. Are you maybe starting to snap to what’s going on here?

Returning Trump to the White House would relegate the United States to the status of a Russian satellite.

Trump concedes that Navalny was a brave man. He’s right. Trump then goes on to compare himself to Navalny. He’s wrong. And his remarks were highly offensive and downright indecent to both Navalny’s memory and the American public’s intelligence.

The FBI has charged former agent Alexander Smirnov with lying about the Bidens conducting unethical and illegal business dealings in Ukraine. So that oughta cool this impeachment inquiry thing, right? Nope. Wild-eyed MAGA Maniac just responds that the FBI is lying.

Understand, Smirnov’s lone, uncorroborated source was a Russian agent. Let’s see. Russia…Ukraine…Trump…

All roads lead to Pooty-Poot. They always do.

Trump says he has been criminally indicted four times on a total of 91 counts because we are now a Communist nation under Joe Biden. Trump says he has done everything perfectly. How can you be “perfect” if the evidence shows you illegally paid off a porn star, retained and refused to return highly classified documents relating to our national security, incited an armed insurrection and tried to overturn an election to overthrow the government of the United States? And that’s in addition to civil violations for which he had already been found liable to the tune of now $535.3 million. And counting.

Gee, looks to me that “perfect” doesn’t quite mean what it used to.

Had enough of this insanity yet?

If not, that is most assuredly a “you” problem.

Paul's Bio

I clearly have the attention span of your median fruit fly.Look! Airplane!

Sorry. I’m back.

It’s both a curse and a blessing. I’ve never bought this stuff about, “He who dies with the most toys wins.” But I do think that a wide range of life experiences helps us grow as people, and helps us better relate to other people. I’ve been fortunate. And I am beyond grateful.

I show up on time. I go like hell. I’m a good listener. I hold myself accountable. I own my mistakes. And I have a natural and an insatiable curiosity. I’m never afraid to say, “I don’t know,” when I don’t. But then I try to find out.

The flip side is I’m a lousy ballroom dancer and my clothes sometimes fit me funny.

Stuff matters to me. I care. But while I take that stuff seriously, I try hard to never take myself seriously. As a result, I have sometimes been told, “Paul, it’s hard to tell when you’re serious and when you’re just having some fun. Which is it? Serious or fun?”

My answer is “yes.” But I think that is a legitimate criticism. I promise I’m going to work on that.

This has been the quickest and strangest half-century I’ve ever experienced. During that period, I’ve been afforded amazing opportunities in news and sports journalism across all platforms. I have taught wonderful students at the high school and collegiate level. Always, I learned more from them than they did from me. I’ve been a high school administrator. I spent ten seasons as a high school varsity football coach. I’ve been an advertising executive. I’ve hosted nationally syndicated television entertainment shows. In maybe the biggest honor I ever received, I was selected by NASA to be “Chet The Astronaut” for the “Land The Shuttle” simulator at Space Center Houston. (All I can say there, is “Do as I say, not as I do.” I put that thing in the Everglades more often than not.) Most recently, I just wrapped up a decade as a television news director, during which time our teams distinguished themselves in holding the powerful accountable, achieving both critical and ratings success.

What does all that mean? It means I am profoundly grateful. It also means I’m ready for “next.” So here we are. Radically Rational. It’s an idea I woke up with in 2017. I scribbled “Radically Rational” on a piece of notebook paper and used a magnet to stick it on our refrigerator. I saw it every day, and it just would not leave me alone.

I am second in charge at Radically Rational, LLC. My wife, Jo (also known as BB), is the president. Clearly, I have failed in my attempt to sleep my way to the top of this organization.

I hope you will learn that I’m loyal as a Labrador. But I will admit that this doggie can bite every now and then. My promise to you? I will show up on time. I will go like hell. I will listen to you earnestly and attentively. I will hold myself accountable. I will never be the least bit hesitant to say, “I don’t know,” when I don’t.

But then I’ll try to find out. Let’s do it.
