Check out my new post. We hear about #Conservatives mantra to create “smaller government.” #DOGE was created to fulfill that desire. But is it feasible in a complex, multifaceted society. I don’t think so. See my reasons and let me know your thoughts. rryshke.org/2025/04/26/w...
Why a Smaller Government May Not Serve Americans Well
Politicians, mainly conservatives, advocate for smaller federal government. However, they fail to understand that government’s inherent complexity demands a robust and transparent structure. …

It was a terrible experience as an observer.
Fox News Reporter Jacqui Heinrich: The way that it felt in the room was not good. It did not seem like things went well. And it seemed like Putin came in and steam rolled, got right into what he wanted to say and got his photo next to the president and then left

Of course Trump is on the list. You can’t escape dozens of pics with your pedophile friend.
Yeah he's spiraling
REPORTER: Did the attorney general tell you that your name appeared in the Epstein files?

TRUMP: No no. She's given us just a very quick briefing. These files were made up by Comey, Obama, they were made up by the Biden-- we went through years of that with the Russia Russia Russia hoax

Baseball Caps and Climate Change: The Hidden Connection
Are you wondering why I would write a piece about the connection of baseball caps to climate change? Does it sound like an irrelevant and pointless topic to ponder? Well, I looked inside my closet and counted 14 baseball caps. I paused and wondered was I contributing in some simple but obvious way to global warming. Excessive? That happens to be a lens I use to evaluate many of my behaviors.

Combatting Eco-Anxiety: Supporting Today’s Youth
As a society, do we care about the long-term mental health of future generations? If the answer is no, then we can move forward with climate antagonistic energy and food systems policies. If the answer is yes, then we have an obligation to understand and responsibly manage energy and food systems that impact global warming. Eco-anxiety, sometimes referred to as climate anxiety, is of heighten concern.

Such an absolutely stupid comment. It’s corrupt and gifting it to the DOD is just a ploy to escape scrutiny. The Trump family is doing billions of $$ of business with Arab countries. Let’s not be fooled!
Zinke is so deeply corrupt.
Zinke dismisses ethics concerns about Qatar gifting Trump a luxury jet: "Remember who President Trump is. He's a billionaire businessman from New York. He doesn't sleep in a sleeping bag over night. He says, 'Hey, this is a great plane.'"

When discussing the Qatari proposal to “gift” a plane to the US President, the only two relevant topics requiring discussion are professional ethics and level of corruption.

Understanding the SAVE Act: Impacts on Voter Registration
What is the SAVE Act (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility) ? In short, it is a Congressional initiative. It would require all American citizens registering to vote to present proof of citizenship in person. For the majority of Americans, this would be a passport or birth certificate. Only about 50% of Americans have a passport. Research indicates that about 9% of voting-age citizens lack ready access to proof of citizenship documents like birth certificates.

Remarkable: Karl Rove is now warning that Trump's illegal rendition of Kilmar Abrego Garcia is undermining Trump's overall approval on immigration.

Makes the idea that Dems should avoid this topic look especially silly.

You are the last person who understands what China needs and America wants. We want civility and respect
Which you are not able to deliver on.

Trump is a grifter looking to profit while our President. Despicable!
Way, way cool!

Maybe he can hit up Paul, Weiss and Skadden and Willkie and Milbank and S&C to buy up boxes of them!
Trump: For $5 million, this can be yours. It's the first of the cards. You know what that card is? It's the gold card. The Trump card.

Reporter: Who's the first buyer?

Trump: I'm the first buyer.

Reporter: Who's the second?

Trump: I don't know...it will be out in 2 weeks. Anyone want to buy one?

This is what people think of the US and it will only get worse with reciprocal #tariffs and Trumpian isolationist rhetoric. The majority of Americans do not agree with Trump.

Every single Democrat in Congress should be demanding the resignation of Waltz and Hegseth. Every single one.

This is a massive scandal. There should be a serious price to pay.

Today, I am calling on Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and other top officials in the Trump administration to resign immediately due to their reckless and unlawful disclosure of national security secrets. Their actions have put our country at risk, and immediate accountability is necessary
