How Americans claim to be a caring society, but they do not really care at all. If there is one thing this election proved, it is that Americans don’t really mean what they say. They have proven beyond a doubt that they: The motto of America is now the same

The items they routinely forget
One of the amazing things I read this weekend was that Republicans are still trapped in a bubble when it comes to the 2020 election. Writer after writer has talked about election integrity while not understanding what the term actually means. One writer recently decreed that it is the Democratic
Continue readingWhy do they cling to lies when they are so easily disproved?
I have an acquaintance who writes a blog that is useful for little in terms of gaining knowledge but does provide helpful insight into how closed the minds of Trump supporters are and how utterly disturbed the conservative minds are. I consider myself to have some unique insight here, as I was

On Wednesday, Senator JD Vance of Ohio accused Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota of quitting the Army National Guard two decades ago to avoid being deployed to Iraq. It is worth remembering that JD Vance did one enlistment in the Marine Corps and then left the service. On the other

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

I spent yesterday working on the site after we experienced a Denial of Service attack on Wednesday and Thursday. I’ve pretty well isolated where I think it came from and have taken proactive steps “under the hood” to keep it from happening again. Nevertheless, I am flattered that my modest

Among the many things I have come to despise our tea swilling, Galtian, Trump-humping, overlords for, is how they have ruined any celebration of national pride. Turning the American flag into a conservative litmus test of sorts makes it almost impossible to look at the symbol with a combination of

A quick post on the recent stunt by Florida’s legislature and deadly governor Ron DeSantis. Last June, I wrote a post about how today’s Republican party proves its resemblance to the apartheid government every day. In it, I noted, “What is also very much like South Africa, is the attempt

I am approaching what could best be described as the contemplative stage of life. Savoring the adventures and the victories, dryly musing about the things I should have done differently – or should not have done at all. Regrets? I have a few. However, I will never regret wire brushing
