Trump’s enemies come up with scheme

Let’s say you hate Donald Trump and really, really, really don’t want him to become president of the United States again. How do you prevent that? Well, most would agree the best way would be to defeat him electorally, either in the Republican primaries or in the 2024 general election.

Diner worries about interaction with woman

DEAR HARRIETTE: I ran into a woman the other day whose face was vaguely familiar. We were at a restaurant, and I was dining with other people, so we said hello but no more. As I was leaving, she asked if I was still working at a company that I left more than 10 years ago. I told her no and shared what I am doing now. Then I left.

Sanders’ reform returns state to 1956

Sometimes pictures do tell the story. When Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders staged a photo op for the signing of her vaunted LEARNS Act, an education 'reform' shoved through a rubber-stamp legislature with virtually no debate, she chose a private school in North Little Rock. Not a single Black face was in evidence. Most prominent were a half-dozen handsomely dressed little white boys wearing neckties.

DO JUST ONE THING

Can you recycle old printed photographs with your scrap paper recycling? Yes and no. It all depends on how the photo was printed. If it was done with oldfashioned chemical processing, then no. If it was printed using modern digital technology, then yes. How do you find out? Simply tear it; if the photograph rips with a very clean tear, it can be recycled. If it's hard to tear and rips in layers and not so cleanly, you likely have a nonrecyclable photo that needs to be thrown in the trash and not the recycling bin.

Renter pursues apartment maintenance worker

DEAR HARRIETTE: I just moved into a new apartment complex. While having my gas turned on, we discovered that the water heater wasn't connected. Of course, this happened right before the weekend, so unless maintenance fixed it while the gas company was there, I was going to have to go several days without hot water. It was before operating hours, so I went to the complex's maintenance shop to see if anyone would help. One maintenance worker volunteered and completely saved the day! He gave me his number, and I called him to come to fix my washer the next day.

Campaign drama isn’t limited to 1 stage

If you blinked – if you were on vacation, buying school supplies for the kids or moving your college student into their dorm – you just missed the most important week of the 2024 campaign thus far. Maybe the most important week until the Iowa caucuses in January.

Binge-watching TV turns into compulsion

DEAR HARRIETTE: During the pandemic, I got wrapped up in watching movies and series on Netflix. I can't even tell you how many shows I have binge-watched. Plus, there are the old movies, new films and documentaries I consumed. I really got into it, so much so that I am still hooked. My friends invite me out to do things with them, but I usually decline because I want to watch something on a streaming platform. I have even gone to work late more than a few times because I stayed up all night watching endless episodes of something that caught my eye.

Looking at the wildcard Latino vote

Latinos are already Republicans, Ronald Reagan used to say, they just don’t know it yet. That ancient but insightful cliche hovers over the 2024 election. True, Joe Biden has already beaten Donald Trump once, and since then, the apparently inevitable Republican nominee has been indicted on 91 criminal charges in four different cases.
