However, I don't think you have the guts, decency, or integrity to rise above the political swamp attempting to honor a complete charlatan rather than our nation's history.

On behalf of Constitutional Patriots everywhere. (Feel free to share)

If you feel absolutely committed to having a president on the coin I wish you had the decency, integrity, and guts to instead mint a collection of coins with all five living presidents on the face of a coin, and a non-political back that actually celebrates the anniversary.

Dear #usmint,
I can't believe you have the audacity to consider minting a coin celebrating 250 years of nationhood with the image of a convicted felon on the front, and his political slogan on the back. How does that celebrate our nation's 250th birthday.

In Brazil leaders who attempt a coup get convicted and sentenced to prison. In 'Murika, they get invited to Yankee Stadium.

Melnyk's Musings

I have a brief entry called The Pilgrimage Before the Pilgrimage, about my all too brief visit to Campbeltown (Kinloch). It is my tribute to Denzil. I hope you can take a few minutes to read it. I still grieve his passing.

Hi Finn, I finally made it to Campbeltown on the Kintyre Peninsula back in June to lift a whisky in memory of Denzil. It's a beautiful town and people spoke so highly of Denzil.

On a purely personal note, I'm giving you my blog address. I used to use it to post my sermons before retirement.

Republicans are going to shut down Congress through September to bloke any attempt to disclose the Epstein files. Cowardly Malfeasance.

I wept upon reading Denzil's acknowledgements and Finn Cotton's note. Just finished Last Orders with the heavy realization that there will be no more. Always enjoyed messaging back and forth with Denzil. He was so aware and welcoming to his fans.

@finncotton.bsky.social I just finished Last Orders and openly went as I read Denzil's acknowledgements and your editorial note. I had DMd with Denzil through last Nov, & had hope to raise a glass with him thus month. I will raise a glass to him in Campbeltown (Kinloch) soon. Prayers for Fiona.

Counter proposal for Pukin. Ruzzia returns to its original borders during the Kievan Empire, which means dismantling all their cities and going back to living with their cows and pigs. No official language (the ruzzian language didn't even exist then).

It's as though Solzhenitsyn had a crystal ball tuned into 2025 and the Tramp Abomination.

Trump Wants His Corruption to Be Public Intimidation and extortion depends on the targets knowing what price they may pay.

β€œAn authoritarian project has to come out of the shadows to succeed. The intimidation of many depends on early and well-publicized assaults against a few. The authoritarian wants people to understand DOJ is now a department of political favors and retribution.”

Demanding PBS be defunded because they can't stand having five year-olds being smarter than them.

This is the beautiful city of Odessa - a city republicans are helping Pukin destroy. I walked her streets. I watched young lovers walk hand-in-hand. I sat in the shade of chestnut trees and wrote poetry. I am brokenhearted.
