Silence is complicity.
I am only one
by Edward Everett Hale
I am only one,
But still I am one.
I cannot do everything,
But still I can do something;
And because I cannot do everything,
I will not refuse to do the something I can do.
I am only one

3 days into the New Year, we went to bed and woke up to find that PedoMan was now kidnapping leaders of other countries. Weird? Oh hell yeah! But surprising? Probably not. Just another wake up call to stay engaged this year. Check your voter registration, research your candidates, & let’s get busy!

If Nicolás Maduro stands trial in the United States and gets convicted of 34 felonies, does that mean he’s qualified to be our next president now?

As we finally reach midnight on the west coast, I listen to what sounds like a war zone outside, wondering why people feel the need for high explosives, but then I recall my friends in Odesa who are literally in a war zone. It could always be worse, folks! Happy New Year.
