Nancy Mace's recent tirade at TSA workers at an airport will be perceived by voters not as signs of mental erratic unfitness to govern nor of entitled imperiousness, but as "leadership", "strength" "antigovernment", "decisiveness", "power".

SC authoritarian, caste domination culture. Revealed.

The current state of our vaccine regime under quack RFK Jr. and authoritarian Trump?

If the bombing or Iran leads to a widening of the war in the Middle East, the provision of Iran by Putin with nuclear weapons, missiles, intractable chaos and insecurity, it is because Trump did not exercise prospective D'OH!!! diligence.

A certain elected official now strategizing whether to join the Israel-Iran conflict appears to be taking advice form the global interventions strategy consulting firm of Lurch Blunder and Mire.

A certain insecure little child could gain the same benefits sought with a large parade with the self-application of K-Y lubricant jelly.

Think of the savings in cost. And in the savings of embarrassment of this nation globally that replacing that parade would bring.

Why do all journalists in all media refer to the forming and coalescing of often peaceful protests against ICE in Los Angeles as "eruptions" of protests?

This term is fraught. And pejorative.

Readers should complain about the use of this editorializing verb via letters to the editors.

To one who is so insecure they must be venereated and self-gratified by an elaborate, costly, garish, vaguely, ominiously authoritarian military pageant, I offer a workaround.

Gleefully present that person with a tube of K-Y lubricant jelly.

Then Instruct that person, "Go enjoy yourself."

Neologism O' Day

Emirateization--using a single trip to the Middle East to visit several Emirate nations--plus Saudi Arabia--in a single flight east to exchange support of those nations by the U.S. amid bad policies, human rights violations for personal gifts. Aka Kush and Curry.

Things to watch for amid very recent events:

(1) Nullification of home rule in DC, takeover of DC government by the Federal government "'Those people'--you know who--can't run a police department!"

(2) Declaration of a "national emergency" due to "wholesale terrorism" against a certain group
