On a new path in the mountains; immersed in art, friends, garden, nature, laughter; owned by a border collie, now battling snowy winters, gophers, moles, voles, and Republican'ts at 73. With freedom comes great responsibility. Terrified for America.

A guide to five of the top House primaries to watch.

...before either party reaches the general election, they have to wade through their own primaries, which will test Trump’s hold on the party, the strength of insurgent Democrats and whether centrists can hang on.

Former Special Counsel Jack Smith testifies how he had Trump in his cross-hairs and could prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he was responsible for the insurrection on January 6, 2021. Man things would have been so different if Garland didn’t slow walk this case. Ugh‼️‼️

Flipping a seat...in the first week of January...amidst the holidays...in a southern state like South Carolina...in a GOP district like SC House 98...would send yet another serious message to Republicans that there will be nowhere they can hide in 2026.

Spread the word, folks.

I believe this current administration has achieved one of it's goals: for the American people to turn on one another, left against right. Soon they will have total anarchy and then what is next? People don't be naive, the MAGA movement is NOT design to make America great again.

Our current administration does not know how to 'consider the consequences' and when it comes to foreign countries America has shown historically, time and time again, they don't understand the deeper implications of our countries interference in the politics of other nations.
Gen Mark Hertling speaks with the experience that only being involved in "regime change" operations can bring. This is an essential read.
What ‘Regime Change’ in Venezuela Would Really Mean
It’s not clear the administration has settled on a goal, much less considered the consequences.

Canada: Our Prime Minster studied at Oxford and Harvard, was the Governor of both the Banks of England and Canada, and is recognized as one of the sharpest financial minds around.

America: oh yeah? Our guy has to take dementia tests every week.

Here we go yet another project that has NOTHING to do with helping the American People, like his redecorating of our White House with tacky gold accoutrements, tearing down the East Wing for a gigantic ballroom, redoing the golf course at Camp David and putting marble armrests on theatre chairs.
All dictators are pathologically identical.
The Arc de Triomphe was designed in 1806, and France was defeated less than a decade later. And again in 1870. And in 1940. As for the Arch of Titus in the Roman Forum, that empire's long gone. Maybe building a triumphal arch isn't a sign of national health?

I am a broken record but: this will require Supreme Court reform. There is no chance the John Roberts Six allow prosecutions of Trump officials to stand.

1/
Special prosecutors on day 1. Everyone in this administration who broke laws— including every ICE agent who ever kidnapped anyone— must go to prison. All of Epstein’s buddies prosecuted too, Democrat or Republican doesn’t matter.

Has to be this way or this country won’t survive.
No but really my fear is that the next democrat in the White House will be conciliatory and deliberate when what we need is a chainsaw and some sage.

Absolutely the truth. It would yet another way of dumbing down our citizens and they've proven their stupid enough by putting the orange idiot back in the presidency.

“I have the greatest blinks, people say the best blinks. Sometimes my blinks go on for hours.”
Trump also denied falling asleep during Cabinet meetings, claiming that reporters only catch him while he’s “blinking.”

“I’ll just close. It’s very relaxing to me. Sometimes they’ll take a picture of me blinking, blinking, and they’ll catch me with the blink.”
