Correct me if I’m wrong on this. If I drive ten miles from Point A to Point B, the odometer on my car should advance … ten miles. Correct? Good. Now try driving that same ten miles in a Tesla. And now your odometer says … 25 miles driven?? That’s the argument behind this California…

Next week, Republicans will charge non-smokers twice as much for avoiding the cigarette tax.
I say this because the Republicans in the House of Representatives ram-rodded their Trump-named “Big, Beautiful Bill” to the Senate. Among the hundreds of horseshit plans in the bill – which include extended and increased tax breaks for the wealthy, the gutting of safety net programs, etc. – is the plan to gut government and…
Read MoreDonald Trump Jr and the rest of the MAGA melonheads whip up another crackpot notion
Let’s start this off with a prayer. A prayer for the health and well-being of former President Joe Biden and for his family and friends. It was announced yesterday that President Biden has aggressive pancreatic cancer, and that it has spread to his bones. There are some treatments available for this form of cancer, and…
Read MoreWhen Trumpflation becomes a marketing gimmick.
Trumpflation makes me sick. The whole idea that Donald Trump can just wave his hands and suddenly we’re paying surcharges and penalties because he drops massive tariffs on countries who manufacture products that we need – drives me up the wall. And now I’m seeing advertisements for “buy now at pre-tariff prices” sales. In other…
Read MoreA request from Heather Kovar
Because my blog posts have a 30-day window for comments or posts (to avoid my getting spammed like crazy on vintage posts), I’ll sometimes get messages from people who want to talk to me about some of my legacy writings. They’ll click on the “Contact Chuck Miller” link at the top of my blog, write…
Read MoreCelebrate the life of Hunter Myers this Sunday at Saratoga Harness.
Hunter Myers was a rising young star in the world of harness racing. He claimed nearly 2,500 wins in his driving career, and was ranked among the top harness racing jockeys in 2022 and in 2024. Sadly, all of that came to a horrible end last Wednesday at a harness track in western Pennsylvania. An…
Read MoreElon Musk can go jump in a lake.
I have absolutely no use for Elon Musk or for his vastly overpriced, overhyped and shoddily-built Teslas. I’m proud of my hybrid car that was built in America by union men and women and operates on a network that is (thankfully) incompatible with Musk’s Supercharger grid. And my Chevrolet Volt would NEVER be mistaken for…
Read More“You’re on a 3,000 day streak on Chuck the Writer!” (Well, more than that…)
WordPress has this little quirk where, after I post my daily blog, it’ll send me a message saying that I’m on a very long consecutive posting streak. Yesterday, on March 19, 2025, after I posted my blog updating my progress on the latch hook covered bridge project, WordPress alerted me that I had achieved 3,000…
Read MoreWhy are MAGA so upset about Dale Earnhardt Incorporated?
I still can’t wrap my brain around this. But ever since Donald Trump slithered back into the White House, and brought along Shadow President Elon-partheid Musk with him, they’ve been on a complete and hardcore goal – to strip away any accomplishments and mentions of Dale Earnhardt Incorporated from history. I’m still not understanding all…
Read MoreLe’Veon Bell is dead to me. (Trigger Warning: CSAM)
Let’s make something very, very clear. Just because you can throw a football, or catch a football, or run with a football, does not mean that you are or are not a person of quality. The Pittsburgh Steelers had a quarterback for twenty years; and although he guided the Steelers to three Super Bowls and…
