I began this "Will Rogers" shtick because I was struck by how timely the man's insights remained.
Human nature is a constant, for better or worse.
Rogers was a simple cowboy whose wit and humor made him one of the most influential voices in the world.
There is more power in laughter than we realize.

If I said, "I need to speak to the person in charge at the Democratic Party, take me to your leader."
Who would you point me to?
The games afoot, and this reeling along like a drunk in a dark alley just ain't getting it done.
I'm hoping someone takes the wheel soon.

Gov. Walz says, "We've never gone to war with our federal government before."
That may be true, but it's time for the governor to realize that the federal government has gone to war with him.
The question is, what's he gonna do about it?
It sounds like not much.

"I see where we are starting to pay some attention to our neighbors to the south. We could never understand why Mexico wasn't just crazy about us, for we have always had their good will, and oil, and minerals, at heart."

I hear a lot of talk about "congressional approval" regarding the invasion of Venezuela.
The Republicans in congress have given Trump all the approval he needs.
It's called Carte Blanc, (and no MAGA, that does not mean 'white wagon.')
I thought that had been made obvious by now.

"We Americans think we are pretty good! We want to build a house, we cut down some trees. We want to build a fire, we dig a little coal. But when we run out of all these things, then we will find out just how good we really are."

King Trump has declared that Venezuela is his now, oil and all.
It was about the oil all along.
The guys in the little boats we blew to smithereens?
That was just duck hunting.
We didn't really want them, it was just fun watching them blow up.

Let's face it, Trump, and the GOP cronies who protect him, aren't going to get any guiltier.
They couldn't BE any guiltier.
So when do the torches and pitchforks come out?
