Silver hasn't been right about anything since 2012. A decade plus record of failure. Why is he still a thing?

He was actually on target in 2016; he spent the week before the election saying trump had a better chance than people were giving him credit for.

Yes, Nate Silver is a grifting dope. His “predictions” about covid were absolutely WRONG. He was an armchair epidemiologist. Nate should stick with baseball. Something that doesn’t have life and death consequences.

The election this year has life and death consequences for most Americans.

The Rob McClellan interview was very enjoyable, covering so many bases!

The advice that if you want to be a writer get born rich was a hilarious Bullseye!

I tried to leave a comment there, but that part of his website was messed up.

I ordered two copies of your poetry book from two different Places. One came right away, and the other, from Yehuda press, came a month later.

Which was fortunate because I had misplaced the first copy and was only halfway through it.

I assume that her originals shared the penchant for including opposites and antonyms in each poem, sometimes in each line.

Keep up the good work!
