ICE’s firing ten shots at a man with a holstered gun is proof they walk in fear. In their minds (and the minds of Trump, Noem, etc.) firepower replaces courage. They are criminals with a multi-billion dollar budget (thanks to a chickenshit Congress). They are afraid because they can be defeated.

GET THE FUCK OUT OF EVERYWHERE!

So, who thinks that the Supreme Court majority might be making these decisions because if the Dems win big we could end up with 13 Justices, and these current folks would be just small, old fish in a different pond?

Are they eating the dogs and cats or bringing in the cows?
I’m so confused!

Another 3 people killed today by American attack on a boat in international waters. Even if there were drugs involved—and has that ever been proven?—drug smuggling is not a capital crime. These are simply murders. How is this tolerable? We have a government led by a man who kills illegally.

Check out the latest episode of South Park. Truth cannot be denied. Anything is possible.

No, there’s no corruption here. Nothing for you to be concerned about. Just keep your eyes down and walk on. Oh, you think 230 million could pay some of your medical bills?

In First Six Months, Cost of Weather Catastrophes Escalated at a Record Pace

This is a free article. Who does Trump think he is serving as President? I mean, besides himself. And who does his supporters thinking he's serving? Them?? Do they own boats that don't leak?

Ask yourself: Why is Trump threatening to use the Insurrection Act, a law giving the President certain emergency powers, to override judges and local officials when there is no insurrection?
Could it be….fascism??

October 2, 2025 At about 1:00 on Tuesday morning, federal agents from Border Patrol, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) raided an apartment b...

Yup! Me too!

Re Portland:
Trump is declaring war on America. Really, who is the terrorist here?

Every day there is a new piece (or many) of the saddest news I've ever heard, and it's especially brutal to consider that this is being done on purpose by our government.

Does anyone still believe all this is about the hostages?

NYT headline:

What to Know About Painkillers, Vaccines, Genes and Autism

IMO, this is a good overview of the various studies on the relationship between autism and vaccines and Tylenol, as well as a look into the nature of autism itself. It should be free to you.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Zieg Heil!!

Got my updated Covid vaccine today.
One of my goals is to live long enough to dance on RFKjr’s grave.

The Supreme Court just, in essence, gave the government the right to detain anyone for no reason. And you thought you lived in the land of the free. Sucker!!
(To be clear, non-whites have lived with that understanding for centuries. So I guess you can say now we are all equal UNDER the law.)

From the US supplied bombs dropping on Palestine to blowing up Venezuelan boats in international waters to renaming it The Department of War, Trump is trying to save his Presidency by driving us into a war. Presidents are always more popular once a war starts. For a while.

Bad employment numbers again today.
Who is Trump going to fire?
Facts are stubborn things.

I’m sure Netanyahu is so-o-o sorry. He’s only been doing this for 20 months. He, and the Israeli government, are war criminals and murderers. This is genocide, and our tax dollars support it. It must stop!

Stephen Miller seems to have poked the bear with his comment about 90 year old hippies. Although I’m “only” 73, I was one of those students protesting. One thing I’ve learned: the students are always right. Even if you think they may be wrong, they’re right. They have nothing to lose but the future.

August 11, 2025 President Donald J.

Usually I find Richardson to be too establishment Democrat for my taste, but her report on today’s events are on target. A new page of the Trump saga has been turned.
