Reflections on politics, spirituality & esoterica: 2-party tyranny—National debt—Twelve Steps—More
Already on life support, WaPo died today. I grieve for what was, for most of my adulthood, a reliable paper of record and reporter of fact. (I'm 77). I call for immediate resignation of all editorial staff, and all reporters working in politically sensitive areas.

I view our government in terms of governance. I view governance in Lincolnian terms: of, by and for the people -- ALL the people.

Clearly and correctly stated. And otherwise (sometimes) respectable media fail is daily by not keeping this simple fact in constant view. They frame the DOJ memo as if it were a SCOTUS decision, or even a constitutional provision. x.com/NewsHour this means you!

I got the Grindr app mixed up with the Pizza Hut app.
Either way there’s a 10” vegetarian on the way and I’m not sure what to expect.

They were/are more than that. They were both skilled, competent leaders, guided by inner light of compassion and humanity. We failed them, and elevated men not qualified to tie their shoes to undeserved heights.

🚨NEW: The U.S. Senate has passed the Social Security Fairness Act, which will give Social Security benefits to over 3 million Americans. This was championed by outgoing Senator Sherrod Brown and will be part of his legacy!
