American, east of the Mississippi, deeply ashamed at what my country has become and is becoming.
The administration says it cares deeply about fighting antisemitism, which is why it’s defunding and attacking colleges.

I’m old enough to remember when, three months ago, Trump gave full and unconditional pardons to the “Camp Auschwitz” guy and assorted other violent men who openly praised Hitler.

Seen in a restaurant washroom recently. I wonder what The Lord thinks about being compared to germs.

You’ve heard of verbing, the repurposing of a noun or adjective as a verb.

(“Verbing weirds language,” Calvin said to Hobbes in the comic strip where the term was coined.)

USA Today seems to have done a reverse-verbing, or “nouning” if you will, by turning “abhor” into a noun.

I read a book once that had a character – an arrogant politician, a lot like this fellow – who gleefully mocked his own constituents and believed he was immune to any consequences.

I won’t spoil the ending for you, but I will say it was very satisfying.
