So the people causing the shutdown are getting paid. The people keeping the country running don’t.

And Speaker Mike Johnson won’t let the House come back to work. So basically they’re on a paid vacation while Americans miss paychecks.

Did I get that right?

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

Let's be clear.

All these tech billionaires like Bezos and Musk and Zuckerberg didn't become right wingers because of some ideological awakening -- or because of "wokeness."

It's because they're BILLIONAIRES and they want to avoid taxes.

That's it. It's the MONEY.

Things I trust more than our government:

1. Peeing in a dream
2. The cardboard handle on the 30 rack of beer
3. HR
4. Gas station sushi
5. A Sicilian man when death is on the line

From time to time, I bring you views about what’s happening in the United States from writers and journalists in other countries.

This piece is from a columnist in Canada. Read it and let me know your thoughts.

There's a trend on TikTok right now of people discovering how talented Scott Grimes is, so I wanted to use this opportunity to recommend sci-fi fans to watch The Orville. If not for more Grimes singing, but for one of the best sci-fi TV shows out there.

Good times. #TheOrville
