BREAKING: The full bench of the 9th circuit has agreed to take up the Portland National Guard case and vacated the panel decision that had blessed Trumpโ€™s deployment.

The WSJ reports that nearly 10 months into the Trump Presidency far more people feel worse off financially than 1 year ago (when Biden was President) and that college graduates are unable to find jobs, causing despair for them and their parents. WSJ p. A3 10/27/2025.

If a government tells you that you canโ€™t call it authoritarian, itโ€™s authoritarian.

That doesn't justify the bringing criminal charges after pressure from Trump.

Social media is full of phoney quotes.This is an example. Hard to imagine Franklin in the 1700's using the phrase "bad guys". My reseach shows this quote can't found in any source written by Franklin.

Take that Paramount! Stephen Colbert wins best variety talk series at #Emmys weeks after CBS canceled show. "Sometimes you only truly know how much you love something when you get a sense that you might be losing it...my friends, I have never loved my country more desperately."

Political violence is always immoral and always counterproductive for a healthy democracy. It solves nothing. It only leads to further violence and ultimately enables scapegoating of vulnerable communities. Committing acts of violence against those who disagree with us helps no one.

Today's shootings show that gun violence affects everyone: school children and political firebrands. I hope today's killings lead to a united effort to prevent gun violence.

Any truly "devout Christian" would remember Jesus' words in the Gospel of Matthew which warned us of false prophets like Karoline Leavitt who come to us in sheep's clothing but who inwardly are ravenous wolves. Matthew 7:15.

I've never been a big fan of Gavin Newsome, but I must admit that he is a very effective communicator in this digital age.

WSJ reports today (9/6/25) that job growth continued to slow down in August signaling that "the labor market is deteriorating rapidly". We had a strong economy under Biden but Trump "fixed" that.

Our parents fought in WWII, or worked in the mills, for the greater good of America and our allies.

Our parents got us all vaccinated for the greater good of America.

Why do so many Americans NOT choose to do anything for the greater good of America anymore?

The statement on Giuliani, which for some reason frames his car accident as something that happened shortly after he "was flagged down   by a woman who was the victim of a domestic violence incident," "immediately rendered assistance," got back on the road, and sometime later was rear-ended.

The statement on Giuliani, which for some reason frames his car accident as something that happened shortly after he "was flagged down by a woman who was the victim of a domestic violence incident," "immediately rendered assistance," got back on the road, and sometime later was rear-ended.

Creative writing prompt: Make a simple press statement about a car accident sound suspicious on at least three different levels.

WSJ reports today tha a grand jury in D.C. has refused to indict on a felony charge the man who threw a sandwhich at an officer. A victory for common sense; a defeat of prosecutorial over-reach.

The Democrats are not f**king this up. The fault lies with the voters who voted for Trump & his Congressional candidates. Blaming the Democrats is wrong.
