Fond of books, books, books, movies, great music, especially rock and roll, and an unabashed liberal, father of four daughters, fascinated by nature and just trying to figure it all out while remaining upright.
One thing that sucks about following US politics for those of us 60-plus years is the long memory & how the true party slouching toward Gomorrah is one party. We remember how, in the 80s, admitting to sampling cannabis was a presidential campaign ender; we recall the impact of a candidate dodging

Another thing to consider about the Fed Govt held Epstein files: recall, during the US's time in Iraq and Afghanistan, video recordings of American torture were destroyed by the US Govt. To me, we are at the stage of who knows what has been altered & destroyed in these files. We may never know.

Folks, you're all in for a treat when A Violent Masterpiece by Jordan Harper comes out next year.
I do not believe many other writers capture the underbelly of LA & its hidden depravities among the powerful & wealthy better than Jordan Harper.

Why? Why does the Left fall for the same MAGA BS over & over again? What have we heard regarding the adjudicated rapist's tax records since 2015? The same excuse will be used to stop the Epstein files from being released - rather than an audit, it will be ongoing investigations.

Let's imagine 2026 is great for the Dems & they take back Congress - my question is, where does everyone think all the MAGA cult members are going to go or do? I mean, these cranks & 100% percent believers aren't just going to go away.

The funny thing about this photo is if the two brawled, she would kick his ass. Here is to hoping she starts insulting his masculinity because his shallow ego can't take it.

Why do Dems keep falling for BS? This woman is not having a "transformation" - she is pissed because she has been ignored by the Orange Turd.

Recall, the 1697 play The Mourning Bride by William Congreve: "Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, / Nor Hell a fury like a woman scorned".

Here is a messaging lesson Washington Dems & pundits never learn: study effective linguistics. Here is proof of how ineffective Dem messaging remains. Go up to everyday people & ask them to accurately define the following three items: SNAP benefits, tariffs, & oligarchy. Washington

One thing I'd like to see is a listing of Blue-friendly Amazon marketers. For one thing, in these times, Americans just aren't going to turn away from online retailers with cheaper prices on items than local retailers. Oddly, anger at Amazon is probably being felt due to the many commercials

For a post-Halloween item of pure horror: revisit this pop hit from 1979. Don't let anyone from that era ever suggest 70s pop was outstanding without some real junk.

P.S. One may not recall this song until horrifically reminded of this non-ear candy.

Hey, @jaketapper.bsky.social, the next time some Fed tells you Federal law enforcement personnel have immunity, Google a Bivens Action. It's not hard & really, what is more important: focusing on Biden's age & health, or actions erasing our civil & constitutional rights?
November 1, 2025 at 7:00 PM
Hey, lazy American "reporters", when any Federal official declares federal law enforcement officers have "immunity", get off your asses & Google a Bivens Action. Wait, I'll do your work for you: this allows people to sue specific Federal law enforcement personnel for civil rights violations.

People, knock off the idiotic conspiracies about what is going on underneath the grand ballroom & just use common sense: my best guess is this is mainly for the attempt at a money-grab & more space for the vapid to attend so cash can be given to the rapist in chief. Think about it. No more trips to

The main reason I am so fearful for the future of this country is based on the theories & findings of the social scientist Emile Durkheim. Durkheim believed that a culture & society need a collective consciousness when it comes to being a well-functioning society. And for this to happen,

I wonderfully enjoyed my participation of the No Kings protest. The two most powerful things for me were to see the vast number of older Americans & how it recharged my own batteries by exposing me to so many wonderful people. However, some things could have made it more effective. For example,

This is such a powerful observation.

Even small moments of humanity and respect matter.

It reminds us that, even in a divided world, there’s still room for connection and decency.👇

The Democratic Party must lean into the comment from the Queen Bee MAGA Cult spokeswoman. To me, it is far worse than the exaggerated "deplorable" comment.

“The Democrat Party’s main constituency are made up of Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals,” Leavitt said.

This is why corporate media sucks. How can someone like Tur suggest this is not the kind of language we hear from this asshole. Where has she been? That is this man's nature and it is like she never heard the "grab them by the pussy" tape.

We on the Left need to understand MAGA & the current Republican Party as a whole, do not give a shit about being seen as racist, homophobic, misogynistic, or any other derogatory type of person. They wear it as a badge of honor and gladly so, & are only apologetic when brought into the light.

@whitehouse-47.bsky.social Hey, isn't the place where a "man" who received FIVE deferments to avoid the Vietnam War lives because of "bone spurs"? Well, at least it wasn't a anal boil like that man named Limbaugh - you know, the guy who used so much oxy he went deaf.

My father, Monte Ellis, of Fulton County, IL, was a wildlife artist & proficient in all mediums of art, from drawings to sculptures to paintings. He passed in 2009 & for the longest time, I never fully appreciated the genius that he was. In America, he was a starving artist.
