lol. We had a grapefruit tree in our backyard when I was a kid. One time I tried this, cut one in half, sprinkled some sugar on it, and tried to eat it. It…wasn’t good. We also had a lemon tree and we used the some of the lemons but those grapefruit were not used.

Armed and dangerous!

Christian Nationalism Is a Loaded Gun Pointed at American Democracy The 30 Years' War Is a Warning From History

Whatever your religion, or even if you practice no religion, you need to be concerned about our country’s slide towards Christian Nationalism, which has accelerated with the Heritage Foundation’s infiltration of the federal government in the Trump administration. open.substack.com/pub/jeffquig...

How People Power Ousted a Dictator Autocrats Are Not Invincible

The Philippines was my first Air Force tour. I arrived there in Nov 1987, about a year after the events of the People Power Revolution of 1986. While inspiring, it would have seemed ludicrous to suggest that Marcos' ouster could serve as an example to the US. open.substack.com/pub/jeffquig...

I couldn’t say, but I know I have a constant ongoing internal dialogue. How could you not? I mean, you’re the only person who’s always there for you, all the time, whenever you need to talk to someone.

Patriotism Is More Important Now Than Ever Fly Your Flag

I’ll be flying my flag tomorrow (Independence Day). I hope y’all will join me. open.substack.com/pub/jeffquig...

Lyin' Ted Cruz is a chickenhawk who's never served. #LoseCruz

She's also a Civil War veteran, which means she's a "sucker" and a "loser" in the 🍊🤡's eyes. 🙄

Wow. Truly awful. I thought her mindless support for Kegseth was bad, but this comment shows how cruel and heartless she really is. Remember when R's were bleating about "death panels?" Joni wants to chair one. 🙄

Memorial Day marks the start of summer—but more importantly, it's a time to honor those who died in service to our country. Enjoy your weekend, and take a moment to remember their sacrifice. Veterans in crisis can call 988 for help. #MemorialDay #Remember #LiveUnited

Honestly, I hadn't. I don't think that's even a thing.

As a former intel officer who briefed senior military (not political) leaders, this is stunning. Yeah, sometimes the boss doesn't want to hear it, but it's intel's job to present the actual information, not what the boss wants to hear.

This is the woman who shot a dog and a goat that displeased her. I'm not surprised at all that she would view *some* humans as less than actually human.

I’m 60, and remember that time when George H. W. Bush called Reagan’s economic plan “voodoo economics” and that was probably the last time.

He’s an idiot.

It was, as they say, a fucking big night for Democrats in Texas’ local elections. In my former hometown of Plano, the nonpartisan good-governance group that I helped to organize, Keep Plano #1, *swept* city council and school district elections. My friend Michelle reports:

Amazing. I knew that the Plano good governance group, Keep Plano #1, had swept the Plan city council and Plano ISD elections, but I wasn’t aware of how widespread this win was. Great stuff all around.

I certainly don't.

It's all cosplay for them.

Wait, what??? WE are going to occupy Gaza???

Holy cow, what a terrible cop-out. I thought he was better than this.

Be sure to try the famous Delaware artisan coffee from the sun-drenched gullies of Hockessin. 🤣

Texas Is the Model To see how democratic norms are systematically stripped, look to Texas.

I occasionally write via Substack. Here's my latest. TBH, I've been struggling to write since the election, but I think I'll be getting my mojo back starting, well, tomorrow. open.substack.com/pub/jeffquig...

At all. Not even a little bit.

Yes, but if you push back even a little bit, you may get a very different TSA experience.

Or of railroads that can move cargo from the east coast to the west coast.

I'm thinking Coach Tommy couldn't find Panama on a map. 🙄

Maybe in the back of that Cybertruck in Vegas? 🤔

I don't care. She's still one of the worst people who managed to find a national-level voice due to her ability to flatter and get close to trump - not because she's some sort of policy savant.
