Folks, it's time to drop the denial about who we are dealing with here. Fascists will do anything to seize & hold power including killing people. There is suffering and sacrifice ahead and not just missing your next airline flight. I'm not sure we are up to it. Overfed, comfortable, but "concerned."

Democrats: We'll open the government and change things in the mid-term election...Me: Who is certain we will even have mid-term elections? And then even if there are elections there is the 2/3 vote necessary to overcome a presidential veto. Millions will lose health insurance. How many will die?

Dear American soybeans farmers. Remember when Trump handed you $30 billion in a socialist hand out because of his stupid ass trade wars with China. He wanted to make sure he had your vote. But hey, he gave the fascist President of Argentina $40 billion! He loves him $10 billion more with your money!

"Thank you, my friends. The sun may have set over our city this evening, but as Eugene Debs once said, 'I can see the dawn of a better day for humanity.'" First paragraph of Zohran Mamdani's acceptance speech. "Don't know who Eugene Debs was? I suggest you look him up. I suggest you owe him.

Need the convenience of clean water in plastic when it is available from other sources? Concerned about our environment? If you answered yes to both questions I'll mark you down as "Susan Collins concerned" about our environment.

From Texas A&M University, a Texas paramilitary fascist factory, comes news that it paid its past losing football coach $77 million to go away. This is a public university that like so many southern schools is just an NFL farm club. But at least A&M has given us these two jackasses.

America's pallette at least for my generation was ruined in part by the 5 lb. blocks of surplus "cheese" the government bought as a socialist hand out to American farmers. Americans consume a lot of cheese-like substances meant to approximate the taste of cheese. Same goes for bread.

The average TSA worker earns $184.00 per day to keep us safe and has just loaned the government a month's salary which can be used to pay Argentinian fascists $50 billion or build a $200 million Jay Gatsby ballroom on the Whitehouse. Speaker Mike Johnson is paid $853 per day to lie to us.

Flew back to my country last night from Paris via Reykjavik, Iceland. My direct flight had been canceled. During the long flight I reflected on the fact that my country has morphed into the most selfish nation in history. 700,000 homeless. 2 million incarcerated. A horrible human being as President

Returning home tomorrow from France., the mother country. Watching the news from America I began to understand the "lost generation" a little better.

Another observation. Men's fashion in America is far worse than even the leisure suit years. It seems to be a cross between "the Dude" and the Taliban. Showers optional. But hey, the right complains that uppity women shun white men who own an arsenal and a monster truck.

In America it is all about convenience. The average American uses 287 lbs. of plastic per year with a dismally low recycling rate. We have become a nation of throw away plastic with too many grotesque plastic see through people like these unbelievable jackasses.

Award winning photo of an elephant drowning in plastic. Can not do without bottled plastic water when other sources are available? Really?

Dispatches from the Paris Climate Week Conference: the average U.S. citizen uses 4 times the plastic compared to a European citizen. The plastic industry wants to emphasize recycling. But we must address the root problem. Consumption driving production. Please use as little plastic as possible.

10/29 Dispatch from Paris France, Climate Week. I am an optimist, but it is likely that the goals of the 2015 Paris Agreement will not be met. The cost in human lives and lost species will be immense. Sheer human desperation and fear will strengthen the murderous hand of fascism worldwide.

Night time in the U.S. now. Here in a small provincial city in France I have just been to another open air, Saturday, market. It was a popular affair with incredible food choices. Almost magical. I did not see one, not one, obese person. I am so sad for my country as to what passes for decent food.
