   A female President would be fine with me. Just not Harris.

   During this latest round of campus protests, I can easily envision her being out in front of the media, making rousing speeches to the lawbreakers. Backed up, of course by The Squad.

   Give us another female option, please. Let this one gracefully retire to be the President of one of the universities in CA. Newsome will find some place for her.

   I came across some “Sing Along with Mitch” (Miller) clips recently. My Mom always said, “Those guys aren’t much to look at, but they sure can sing.”

   On their days away from the Welk program, Bobby and Sissy conducted dance classes. My Mom made my sister and I attend the ones held in Long Beach CA. As a teenage guy, dancing with Sissy was a memorable experience.

   I worked for a company whose Keys to Success included the phrase “Behave Like an Owner.”

   So we broke up the company, sold the pieces, and retired.

   If Harris is replaced on the ballot, I’ll support Biden.

   A vote for Biden is a vote for Harris . . . and I just can’t go there. If Biden picks another VP he will have my support.

   I’m actually glad Biden is in office. If he wasn’t – and harris was – it would be a different statement. I can easily envision her standing with the students, handing them money to fund the rebellion. With “The Squad” smiling in the background.

   Biden – or at least, his handlers – made the correct response. Thankfully. Now — will the students listen?

   Sorry, rmike, but I believe you may be offbase with this one. The “protesters” are ALSO “affecting all students” . . . by denying them the education they (and I guess , now, we) are paying for.

   Protesters have a right to protest, as long as they comply with the “time, place and process” standards all universities have. Universities can regulate those behaviours (even the NY Times legal analysist agree with that). They also have the obligation to monitor speech content and make sure it does not incite violence (the challenge Trump’s defense team has).

   I am for peaceful, lawful, reasonably regulated protests. I am against what’s going on right now.

   On general principle, I am against taxpayers picking up student loan debt. But that’s a specific issues.

   If you’re referring to the length of my initial comment: sorry. It’s a hot button for me.

   I taught management and leadership for a long time. I saw way too many supervisors approach employee performance from this angle.

   If I can reach even ONE current manager and encourage him/her to upgrade their coaching talents it will save many employees from needless angst.

    Thank you for your service. I’m a Vietnam-era Navy vet.

    Civilian office jobs rarely involve life-or-death skills . . . as in: loading your weapon correctly. I went through NIOTC (Vietnam Advisor training) back in the 70s, part of which was at the Naval Weapons Training Center in Hawthorne, NV. We fired everything from BB guns to 105s. We paid attention . . . very close attention … to the instructors.

    You have one level of attention when your job depends on knowing something. It goes up a few notches when you realize your LIFE depends on knowing something.
