People who hire law enforcement personnel would do society a great service if they asked the following questions in the hiring process.

Do you easily fear for your life?

Would you use fearing for your life as an excuse for using deadly force when it was not necessary?

POTUS is ruining his chances to win the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, but is running neck and neck with Putin and Xi for The International Busy Body Dictator of the Year Award.

When POTUS says MAGA he literally means going back to the time of the Robber Barons and Imperialism.

It is the duty of American voters to reject that view of the world.

This morning I was going to ask if the medical genius at HHS would inform the medical genius in the White House that there are other blood thinners so one need not over medicate on aspirin.

Alas, I awake to find the peace president has used the military to import two Venezuelans into the USA.

I finished reading you book last night. Thank you. It is gift for those us who are disgusted with self-proclaimed Christians that don't follow the teachings of Jesus.

They have poisoned politics and enabled hate & division.

I am recommending your book to one and all.

Redactions in the Epstein files are protecting victims who have not come forward about 10 to 15%. The remaining 85 to 90% is protecting criminality, incompetence and powerful sexual predators.

The general public deserves better.

In 1776 Thomas Paine's pamphlet, "Common Sense", was a must read.

In 2025 John Fugelsang's book, "Separation of Church and Hate", is a must read.

Do unvaccinated children ever become autistic?

How much tariff income has the USA collected in 2025?

You don't think classified information is less important than presidential pardons, do you?

Yet POTUS says he can declassify national secrets just by his thoughts, but Joe Biden could not use an auto pen to sign pardons.

I am thankful for Bluesky and all the contributors who do not turn away from what is happening to our country, who have the courage to speak out and give strength to each other in these dystopian times.

AOC and Jasmine C. are bright, moral, well-spoken, informed and definitely not low IQ. The current speaker of the house, in contrast, has an attitude far different from Jesus of Nazareth, lies about what he knows or is woefully uninformed and comes across as Dumpy's Louisiana bitch.

Truman is the first president I distinctly remember. He, and every president since, was harshly criticized and mocked. None liked it, but it's an American tradition and one of our strengths.

The current USA CEO has a destructive case of what we called in my youth "rabbit ears". Today's "snowflake".

Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett does not know what a constitutional crises would look like. Swell!.

RE: Seal Team Raid Into North Korea

Which is worse, the US military conducting an unauthorized, secret, and hostile operation or the POTUS lying about having any knowledge?

The New York Times has stopped linking daily clips from late night talk shows. I attribute the change to cowardice in the face of government intimidation.

Weekend Maine rally for Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner was a morale booster. We need more political candidates of his type.

Does the following quote remind you of anyone?

"Merciless himself in perpetrating jokes (disparagements) on others, he winces like cur with a flea in his ear when others retort."

If DonJohn can run for a third term as President, so can Barak Obama.

Has anyone filed a lawsuit against the Texas a Republicans for their phoney redistricting scheme?

I saw one has been filed against Gavin Newsom's California defensive effort.

Putin's goal is is to reestablish the Russian/USSR empire. Who thinks his wishes don't include Alaska, along with Ukraine, the Stans and the Baltic states?

DonJon is a whetting his appetite this weekend.

A tip of the hat to Eugene Robinson for the way he penetrated the smarmy shield of truth-averse Scott Bessent. Tariffs are paid by the importer. Who knew? Apparently not the USA CEO...
