A (formerly) Far East located web site devoted to The Resistance, discussion of all things political, travel, women, golf, women,adventure, and did I mention women?
By highlighting the absurdity of the GOP attempts to gaslight the nation: Over at Trump’s propaganda network, they appear pretty unhappy about it. Gutfield is terrible. Kudos, however, to Betty Cracker for finding this and reporting on it. I dislike the expression “a hit dog will holler” because no one

It has been a year since the unwarranted and thoroughly evil insurrection against the Capitol occurred. “A mob breaking windows, kicking in doors, breaching the Capitol.

Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a festive holiday season, well, at least as joyful as one could be in the shadow of the continuing disaster that is COVID and the unacceptable US response to it. Just a reminder of a couple of current facts: Even if Omicron is
