Roving newspaper man, eyewitness to the turbulent 60’s, with a degree in Creative & Technical Writing & a Physics and Philosophy minor. Really.

It seems to indicate that he’s “The Honorable” - casting doubt on the entire proceeding. Who’s in charge of printing up these ID signs anyway?

The Honorable ? **Really!**

Best sign I’ve seen over the weekend was in single digit temperatures in Minneapolis

“Your Racism is the total opposite of Patriotism’

Friday “truth(sic)social” post from the all-knowing leader of this great nation …
This child just has absolutely no idea of how this planet works.
So very, very sad (for us).

Can’t put this in any better PC or flowery terms …

Damn. I just **LOVE** the people of Minneapolis.

"They got the guns, but we got the numbers … “

Minneapolis is screaming out loud - the mayor, state reps, the governor - that this is only a test for stress. If left unchecked - & not stopped - every state, county, city or town will be next.

And the America we should love & honor disappears.

The seeds of Nationalism have always been woven through our culture. It underlies this headline from 100 years ago today about support for the League of Nations. It reduces to “we don’t trust or want anyone else’s opinions.”

All you people out there waiting for this WH to deliver on what was ‘promised’, you are so hopeless.

This group is missing any sense of sincerity, truthfulness, compassion or just plain humanity

Earlier, came across a talking head airing Jesse Ventura saying we are now a 3rd world country - we use ‘military’ on the streets for police purposes.
I’m lucid enough to recall the DOD dumping ex Desert Storm combat hardware on local law enforcement. Looked like an army to me.

Posse Comitatus??

Falling forward into a whole new year that seems eerily just like the last, I think it’s worth considering AI taking over corners of our lives we don’t even realize.

What part of ‘artificial’ don’t you understand? This path should not be normalized.

Because it is the season for sharing, passing along this YouTube of the very best Blues ‘n Ballad guitarist *nobody knows*. I remember the day I heard he died on tour in Europe. Gary Moore played w/ J Bonamassa, John Mayall, BB King, Clapton … all of them. Enjoy

The White House has been caught.

The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.

In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

I eventually had to read the full speech by an aging, angry man from last night. I have some observations.

You have come to be among my very favorite people these days.

Please post on YouTube under MS NOW the last block of today’s (Dec 15th) show with Ian & Eddie.
I need my friends & family to see/hear the segment from the last block - some badly need it on auto-repeat.

My holiday message to all of you as a bit of hope for the season. Just finished Aaron Sorkin’s The American President. Take the next 5 minutes and enjoy President Shepherd’s last speech in the WH Press Room @ the end of the movie. Seems to have a certain ring to it.

DOGE is dead, but let’s be clear. All of your government records are hoisted up the mainmast for Musk, Palantir or any domestic or foreign black hat to buy and taunt (or rob) you for decades to come.

We all can thank the Republicans & this administration. 🤨

I’m old enough to remember when a certain guy screamed about countries emptying out their prisons of criminals & dumping them in America.

Today’s 77 pardons cements the truth that this is exactly what’s going on right here.

Confused? I am.
Is this a conundrum or an enigma? Seems the R’s deep state, 1,500 miles apart, are trying to both deny Missouri a ballot initiative to block a new district map, while in Calif they are suing to keep a new map *off* the ballot!
I mean, what?

This is Beckley, WV. A spark of hope in a sea of red. That she quoted ‘The Dude’ from The Big Lebowski blows me away. She took a lot of visual & verbal abuse. God bless her- she’s my new idol.

OK, couple of things here.
a) does this mean Sen. Schmitt & the many others are *PRO* fascist?
- and -
2) my parents were born and raised in the Midwest, so being a part of No Kings isn’t “the foreign promotion of political violence.” Sounds like Trump-ic Hyperbole to me.
