Incredible Pacific ocean, brave video. Love the water sweep across the rocks. Be careful. Me thinks you got too close, but the results are breathtaking.

Thanks for sending, Pam. It's great.

It's still close in the the Fourth. Our founders are riveted up in Enlightenment Heaven, wondering if the deliberately designed human uplift machine they created has the gumption to win. It's gonna be a close one folks, like Denver vs the Texans today--15-15 back and forth until the very end.

Ignoramuses and Worse. Our beautiful republic is in the hands of ignoramuses, bigots, and criminals. Particularly one Donald Trump, who evidently has the strict moral values of Bugsy Siegel, the mobster who for a time ran Las Vegas. Siegel's story, much like Trump's likely will, ended poorly.

Sometimes I feel like apologizing for my scholar-level knowledge of history, and especially of American history. We have people, many in my own generation, who don't grasp it or understand its beautiful poetry. The founders thought that that a well-designed system just might prove uplifting.

Trump is the Anti-Lincoln. The currents of American history reverse, and the Confederacy and its Northern doughface supporters are once again ascendant. 1859 wasn't so long ago, and the Taney Supreme Court of that era is now replaced by the Roberts Court, which is just as bad, if not worse.

From Harley Leiber, WAPO's Anonymous Smears: The executive branch's convoluted interpretation of the law notwithstanding, any moral and humane administration would set aside politics and roll this money out, uninterrupted. Need I say more about the obvious culprits. Un-taco Tuesday.

SNAP cut off? Fifteen percent of our esteemed West Virginians receive food stamps. Seventy percent of their shrewdest, most engaged citizens voted for Trump, who currently controls the government dole. He is, after all, PRESIDENT!

TRUMP rules, don't he? So who're you gonna blame? Chuck Shumer?

Santos Commutation Pt. 2. Guess What? Trump is America's pimp, breaking his girl down bit by bit, degrading her just a little more each day, until finally she'll do every dirty thing on command, and isn't liable to even object to being knocked around from time to time. Portland. Chicago. LA.

Santos Commutation Pt. 1. Pardoning Santos is proof Trump'll do anything to distract from the Epstein files, however contrary to morality and justice it may be. In fact, the more outrageous the better.

No Kings. Yeah, the Nazified Republicans are calling tomorrow's "No Kings" protests "Hate America" rallies. I'd say go look in the mirror for the true Hate America folks.

Their Fuhrer Donald Trump is a hater par excellence. Just read his speeches or a collection of Charlie Kirk's odious screeds.

Murder on the High Seas. If there was any doubt before, there is none now. Donald Trump is a murderer, using the military to blow up boats in the Caribbean. 27 people dead so far. No arrests, no interdiction, no due process, no evidence. We only have his "word" they were drug runners.

That clip with RFK Jr. and Trump Kimmel showed the other night was classic. Pretty crazy to see Trump pointing to a water glass and state that's how much fluid goes into a baby vaccine. Marco Rubio and Pete Hegseth sit and act like everything is right as rain. Are they all insane? (Hint: Yes.)

AOC mocks Cheung, Miller? Shame on AOC, for not going LOW enough. As I have no problem body-shaming bullies, I'll say Nose-feratu Miller and Steven Cheung (AKA Jabba the Hut) are not only the two ugliest boys in your old high school class, but also the creepiest. Mean and insecure, for sure.

Charlie Kirk. He was a ratty little bigot with a microphone. Did he bemoan the murder of Melissa Hortman? I can't see where he did. And now the radical lunatic reactionaries want to make a Horst Wessel out of him. Okay. But we know how that turned out.

Starbucks. Some MAGA-tt bugged a Starbucks barista to put Charlie Kirk's name on a cup and the employee refused. Now that political fly larvae has stirred the rubes to outrage through social media. Yeah. It never ends with these buzzing creeps. Of course Starbucks wimped out. Go Starbucks Union!

More Insanity. Watching the highlights of Trump and Pete Kegsbreath lecturing the generals was amusing in a Twilight-Zone sort of way. Military leaders who have devoted their lives to the USA and willing to die for it having to listen to a five times draft dodger and his alkie stooge bloviate. GHU.

Jeffrey and Donald--BFF's? It's fun so see Trump/and sycophants squirming about the Epstein info drip. The Navy pilot who was captured in Korea said he could handle getting beat up, but what broke him was having to sit under a faucet so a single drop of water hit his forehead every minute or so.

RFK Jr.'s dust-up with the Director of CDC, who was confirmed by the Senate only a month ago, has pole position clown car written all over it. Putin and every garden variety bully on the planet is laughing at the United States of Trump, and gleefully rubbing their hands at our self-humiliation.

Trump's Clown Car Destruction Derby. Today's major clown car contender has to be RFK Junior, who has done more to desecrate a family name than any other human being in history. Only his cousin who murdered an innocent teen girl has so far besmirched the family name worse than "Junior."

Three times U. S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro tried to felony indict Sydney Reid and three times failed. They claimed she kicked and hit federal agents. Witnesses and video showed otherwise.
Then Pirro went after the sandwich hurler twice for assault with a breadly weapon. Likewise failure. Pirro=Idiot.

Trump shows off photograph Putin sent him of their Alaska summit In the Oval Office, Trump brandished a photograph he said Vladimir Putin sent him after their summit in Alaska and said he would sign it for the Russian leader.

Putin Fanboy Trump? Can anything be more sickening than this White House scene with Trump showing off a photo of him and KGB murderer/mass murderer Vladimir Putin?

Pals with a Pimp. But let's get back to Trump's buddy-buddy relations with the high end pimp known as Jeffrey Epstein. DJT is frantic to keep the truth under wraps, which means there's obvious proof Trump is a pedophile, rapist, and whore monger. Trump's middle name ain't "John" for no reason, kids.

Trump a War Hero? Much as I despise the repellent bipedal known as Donald Trump, he made me laugh yesterday, when he claimed he was a "war hero" like Netanyahu. If Cadet Bone Spurs is a war hero, Lt. William Calley was a humanitarian--with only the best interests of the My Lai villagers at heart.

The summit with Putin could not have been more of a fiasco for the USA. What a total idiot Trump is. Putin played him for a fool. Trump seems to think the Earth and its many nations are kind of like 1980s New York City real estate, with land swaps and deals. He is so, so out of his depth.

Succinct Explanation--No release of the Epstein files. The reason they'll never see daylight, according to one NYT commenter, is that they show Trump and his fat ass cavorting naked with underage girls. If the files were clean on Trump, he'd have broadcast them on Truth Social long ago.

Obama Treason? One of Trump's worst insanities today was to accuse Obama of treason for the 2016 FBI Russian election interference investigation. This follows Gabbard's own treasonous so-called review. Everything Trump said today was the opposite of truth. Kakistocracy par excellence.

Marbles Lost. Watching and hearing Trump at the White House today while the Philippines president sat nearby. Trump sounded exactly like my mother in the early stages of dementia, crabbing about things that had happened ten, twenty, fifty years earlier. A big, lying windbag who won't shut up.

Time to Join Up. It's time to join up with Speaker Mike Johnson's call to release the secret Epstein files. Of course it will show nude prominent persons frolicking among underage girls. Epstein=Compromat. If Mossad has the vids, so too does the KGB, probably the Chinese, surely Kim Jong Un...

The Epstein Files. The gulls were hoping the files would uncover prominent deep staters and Demos in cases of rape and pedophilia. Ooops! It instead revealed Trump’s own involvement in ο»ΏEpstein’s sordid operation and that MUST NEVER be revealed.

No other DOJ memo explanation makes sense.

Man who allegedly beheaded dad for 'treason' believed he would accept 'citizen's arrest' A Pennsylvania man accused of allegedly shooting and beheading his father after a failed "citizen's arrest" admitted to the violent act on the stand during his trial.

Another Stable Genius. Perhaps this guy isn't a typical Trump supporter, but his actions are in keeping with the general MAGA movement. Recall January 6, 2021. His You Tube video has evidently been deleted.
