Today I saw something that made me truly despair for the future of this country. 124 former flag officers, several of whom I used to respect, had the unmitigated gall to put their names to a piece of shit, rather traitorous, letter. https://img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/fb7c7bd8-097d-4e2f-8f12-3442d151b57d/downloads/2021%20Open%20Letter%20from%20Retired%20Generals%20and%20Adm.pdf?ver=1620643005025&fbclid=IwAR0VuxO5QWIii8O-Z4Xp9Qu5-mMailCNVpKEmK3m0DjM_FqHIBoobPkdN4M One of the signatories is a former

Being the trendy, social media maven that I am (sarcasm definitely intended), I’ve gotten up and running on Tik Tok. Besides being a wonderful way to give Donald Trump the finger in 2020 – it has been really fun to see how creative a lot of people around the world

The hostage crisis.

Personal choices are not always just between you and yourself. They oftentimes have very public consequences that impact millions. Nowhere is this more true than in the case of COVID-19, and the vaccines now available in increasing numbers to Americans. A writer named David Roth has written a thoughtful piece

If you are an American and watched what happened at the Capitol today – and are not outraged – then you are a defective person. And probably have been for a long time. Soonergrunt, long time commenter at Balloon-Juice, summed up these thoughts of mine very well. The list of

I have not had a “normal” Presidential election since 2000, where coming into November, I did not feel anxiety and fear in the lead up to election day. Especially since 2012, when it became apparent that some 42% of Americans were truly committed to wanton cruelty. 2016 was just sheer

Hopefully, you had a chance to read my latest post before this one about how the major machinery of our US government is broken. If you have not, please go here first, then come back and read this post. I’ll wait. Today in the sham that is passing for Senatorial

Shooting lots of people on 5th Avenue

Donald Trump once said that he could shoot someone in the middle of 5th avenue in New York, and it would not affect his support one bit. The last four years have proved that assertion depressingly true – which is a tribute to the overall stupidity of the American people

If God is indeed just, there is a special place in hell reserved for Grover Norquist and his philosophy of “drowning government in a bathtub”. Unfortunately, we know the divine entity plays favorites, so Norquist probably got rich selling stocks weeks ago as some of his Congressional friends did. For
