I subscribed to Human Events in the 1980's for op res. They were trash back then. I doubt they have gotten any better. I didn't realize they were even still in business, to be honest.

34 people killed in 50 days. Their guilt or innocence unknown, for an alleged crime that doesn't carry a death sentence. That's a lot of death.

People say that they want Trump to be forgotten once he has left office. Not me. I want to remember how close we came to being destroyed by this clown, the damage and deaths he caused and his name to become synonymous with great evils that have befallen people when they have failed to be vigilant.

We will accept no king, no attempt to drag us back into ages past, reliving mistakes of yesterday, rather than learning and growing in truth, empathy, love, and wisdom. Sic semper tyrannis. In history books and heaven, the true judgement of violence, pettiness, and madness will be rendered.

#1stamendment It is amazing that the administration wants to consider burning a flag to be incendiary and provocative conduct, but shooting a priest in the head with a pepper ball is not. People before graven images!

MAGA wants to replace Bad Bunny with Scott Stapp of Creed at the Superbowl. As you may recall, in March 2006, Stapp filed a lawsuit to block the release of a sex video involving himself, Kid Rock, and four women.

#taylorswift #wood In my capacity as a poet whose works have been celebrated for their erotic and romantic content, I would like to properly approve of Taylor Swift's latest album "The Life of a Showgirl" for her suggestive lyrics on the song "Wood". Well done.

Imagine if a deep cover agent for Russia had the authority to order all US high-level commanders to be in one place at one time. Sounds like the setup for a spy thriller or today's news.

Authorizing deadly force against protestors in Portland sets the stage for Portland becoming the modern equivalent of Boston, as in the Boston Massacre. One protestor dies, and we have a revolution. Some troops will turn against the administration and Trump will go down, and not just in history.

Now that he has declared war on the fictitious terrorist group Antifa in "war torn" Portland, Trump's next act will be to declare war on unicorns in Neverland. Delusional.

this very night

I dreamt of you this evening
you were not here to fulfill
prophecies wishes
bright and dark
my desires lay upon you
this very night
stretching time
romance affection
more than a little lust
in memorable expressions
until I woke alone

Unfortunately the Constitution does not, in the 1st Amendment, guarantee that no craven sociopathic corporate hack will censor media they own or manage to curry favour with those that have a history of encouraging violence. #politics #censorship #JimmyKimmel

Fresh poetry.

eternal war

In temples raised in
kingdoms built on
ignorance and lies
truth is a declaration
of rebellion and war.
a sin of disobedience.
revelation against falsehood.
enraging false gods.
the antithesis of cowardice.
