The blame for shooting the two West Virginia national guard members belongs to the shooter. The vetting process could not have identified him as a threat. For whatever reason, anger or mental health, the shooter went bad after living in America.

It seems like every other day, Trump says something that, if I said it as a child, my mother would slap me across my face.

Foreign and corporate leaders have learned to influence Trump towards their goals by stroking his ego with lavish gifts and praise. Putin figured this out before anyone.

Almost all the liberal posts I've read about Charlie Kirk's death include statements that the killing was wrong. Many conservative posts complain about how the liberals revel in the murder.

@dutchannie.bsky.social Many Christians need not consider the existence of Heaven. They won't realize it until it's too late, but they aren't going there.

Yesterday a can of coffee cost me $13. The last time before that, the same coffee cost less than $10. I'll have to plant my own coffee tree here in Michigan.

The ICE protesters represent American values of tolerance and freedom from tyranny. The Mexican flag is OK, but where is the American flag? They should wave that American flag wide and high.

Some of these politicians and especially business leaders have done pretty well for themselves under the American system. Why are they so anxious to replace it with a shithole type dictatorship?

As someone who was born American and baptized Catholic, I am prouder of my pope than my president.

"The Dark Money Game" is playing on HBO/MAX if you want to be angry.

501(C)4 is legalized bribery.
"Our country is being run by a small group of people who have an enormous amount of money — and they dominate our politics. It's almost as if bribery has become utterly legalized," says director @alexgibneyfilm.bsky.social.

His latest project, "The Dark Money Game," debuts on HBO and Max this week.

The president of the United States and the president of El Salvador have conspired to kidnap a man and hold him hostage in an El Salvador prison. This criminality ignores the rule of law and thumbs its nose at a Supreme Court ruling to facilitate his return.

The reason American corporations moved their manufacturing overseas in the first place was to replace American workers with cheap foreign labor.

We can expect an accelerating brain drain—and talented academics who will no longer come to America.
When scholars of authoritarianism and fascism leave U.S. universities because of the deteriorating political situation here, we should really worry.

My latest: "Time to Wake Up And Confront The End of American Democracy"

We're all in it now. Trump is flexing his authoritarian powers without any checks from Republicans or Democratic leadership. It's up to the majority to rise up & resist at every level.

When somebody tries to destroy our Constitution, the wrong question is, "What political party does he belong to?"

Donald Trump is going against everything America stands for, with respect to our allies, bigotry, freedom, the Constitution, immigration, and corruption. Chuck Shumer ought to send a strongly worded memo. Maybe that will make him change his mind!

Trump will not go against Putin. A bully will never challenge someone who might be stronger. The bully looks for weakness he can push around. Compare Russia with Panama, Denmark, Canada, or Mexico.

Trump's recent comment on the unfairness of the CFPB tells me that when he watches "It's a Wonderful Life," he roots for Mr. Potter.

Ukraine wants to take part in the negotiations. Czechoslovakia was not at the table when Chamberlain negotiated with Hitler on the Sudetenland.
