As we enter another Jewish new year, Rosh Hashana, I offer a wish for us all. L'shana tovah (a good year) to everyone...wherever you are, whatever you believe, and whomever you love. May we rise up against those who would defeat us and work, as each is able, to return to a sane UNITED states again.

More people in Ohio need protection from violent crime than there are people in D.C. Governors of three states β€”Β Ohio, South Carolina and West Virginia β€”Β are sending members of their state National Guards to D.C. to … well, theoretically to combat crime but, if the past week is any in...

Late last night I mapped crime rates for cities in OH, SC and WV to show how often they exceeded the rate in DC β€” where those states’ governors are sending National Guard troops to β€œcombat crime.” www.pbump.net/o/more-peopl...

The most important thing to keep in mind about Donald Trump’s ridiculous threat to place tariffs on foreign films is that he’s now claiming he doesn’t know if he’s required to uphold the constitution.

Absolutely reprehensible! Whitewashing (pun very much intended) our history as a peopleβ€”all of our people!!! Smacks of the other Reich. Here it begins by disappearing history and has already continued by disappearing people to foreign lands!!

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

This White House is no longer the people’s house. It is an annex of the Kremlin.

Thank you for your integrity! Leaving the lame legacy media, and a regular source of income, took guts and a conscience. May you fly high on SubStack and keep telling truth to power!!

Tulsi Gabbard's confirmation hearing in the Senate will take place on Thursday, and it's important every American sees this conversation of hers with Tucker Carlson.

Tulsi Gabbard is Putin's puppet.

Russell Vought, Donald Trump’s pick to run the Office of Management Budget, is one of the co-authors of Project 2025’s extreme, right-wing agenda.

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: #Project2025 was always Trump’s plan for America.

Let me repeat that.

Republican Senators don't want to talk about Project 2025.

But at the same time, they're likely to vote for Russell Vought for one of the most influential jobs in Trump's White House.

Vought was the chief architect of Project 2025.

No more to say…true leadership and humanity expressed in a single man. His dignity, compassion, and simple decency will be missed!

And this is the man to re-organize, re-stimulate and re-generate the Democratic Party! Young, dynamic and a new delegation of leadership that connects to our base and beyond! He did it for his state and can do it nationwide! Time for the old guard to give it a rest!
