9/11 @15: Scars and Healing

September 11, 2016February 3, 2021 Eric F. Frazier

About Eric F. Frazier

I am an independent writer, editor, book reviewer and co-author of GPS Declassified: From Smart Bombs to Smartphones.

Frazeology is my take on matters large and small, in the news or off the radar. My approach is personal, but the goal is not to write about me. Rather, it is to offer subjective observations about experiences and concerns that we all share.

From time to time, I link to and comment on things others have said particularly well--or especially poorly. And sometimes I make up new words. We have more than enough already, but it's fun and I find playing around with language irresistible.

Thank you for taking the time to stop by, and I hope you enjoy reading.

So, apparently tomorrow (March 4), Donald Trump resumes leadership of the world’s largest open-air insane asylum. Can unbelievers view the inauguration, too?

Here is the problem for Americans: #Trumpublicans no longer care about majorities. They only need a minority in the right places (Electoral College) or a successful insurrection.

Here the problem for the @GOP. A majority of Republicans love Trump and a majority of Americans really do not.
