Letters From The Edge: How 15 Republican Senators Enabled a $1.4 Billion Constitutional Crisis The Qatar Files: How 15 Republican Senators Enabled a $1.4 Billion Constitutional Crisis

$400M from Qatar. $1B in taxpayer retrofits. And a plane Trump keeps. My latest dive: how Congress turned the Emoluments Clause into a doormat.

I worked on television for a number of years in local news. I don't think they're really interested in quality, as much as they're interested in ratings.

A nation that shields its powerful predators while imprisoning the poor tells the world exactly what it values. We've traded our moral authority for the comfort of looking away. History will not forgive our cowardice.

Half of America stressed about groceries while our leader finds the word 'old fashioned.' Apparently suffering becomes charming when you've never wondered if you can afford milk. How delightfully antique of us peasants to eat.

The Commander in Chief discovers tariffs work like magic, wave the protectionist wand, and foreigners pay Americans' bills! Economics professors weep and tomato farmers brace for the bill Mexico will mysteriously forward to Florida consumers.

A man who thinks women exist for his approval advises against dating a woman infinitely his intellectual superior. One assumes his dating pool consists entirely of mirrors and inflatable companions. How refreshingly honest about his qualifications.

"Nonprofit' hospitals lavish millions on stadium naming while patients choose between insulin and rent. The American Empire's final joke: healing institutions more invested in brand recognition than actual healing. Rome had gladiators; we have this.

How delightfully patriarchal that my ovaries require congressional oversight while penises roam free as constitutional monarchs. Apparently, the founding fathers believed in government so small it fits inside a woman's uterus but can't squeeze into a man's pants. What exquisite consistency.

Texas Republicans so eager to steal elections they can't wait for voters to do it properly. Democrats forced to flee like the state's on fire which, politically speaking, it is. Five seats pilfered faster than barbecue at a church social.

The Republic reaches new depths: a sitting President moonlighting as advertising critic, hawking denim via starlet's anatomy while markets dance to his hormonal reviews. The booboisie cheers as Wall Street transforms into a peep show with presidential endorsement.

We're past approaching fascism we're living its trial run. Hannah Arendt mapped the playbook: isolate citizens, destroy shared truth, create scapegoats, gut institutions from within, and make it all look legal. Your terror is rational. The rehearsal is ending. Time to name what we're watching.

I live surrounded by the Amish too they do make great neighbors.

You are a peach, but you know this. Thank you Greg.

A prayathon might work though last I checked, we were supposed to have separation of church and state in the US Seems that memo got lost somewhere between the pulpit and the ballot box. I feel your pain.

The attorney for Epstein’s victims confirms: Ghislaine Maxwell’s transfer to lower security happened before any interview, without consulting the families. This is not standard. It’s privilege. When you’re rich, connected, and Trump adjacent, accountability is optional.

The attorney representing Epstein’s victims says it outright: Ghislaine Maxwell’s transfer to lower security was arranged before any interview. She never had to answer a single question. This isn’t oversight. It’s collusion dressed as bureaucracy.

So brave.

You’re right and I do get it. It’s easy for politicians to wrap themselves in the flag when it serves them and just as easy to abandon the people who actually carry the weight of that flag when things get hard. That betrayal cuts deep, whether it’s soldiers or citizens, family or nation.

Trump howls for cheap money like a junkie begging the dealer, knowing full well it poisons the vein. Powell resists because he remembers the 70s, when men like Trump bled the poor dry while calling it 'stimulus.' This isn’t policy it’s the ritual sacrifice of a nation’s future. Stagflation anyone?

I can feel the fire in what you’re saying this isn’t politics, it’s family, it’s graves and names and blood in the soil. I’d never ask you to turn from that. Standing your ground for them isn’t just defiance, it’s survival. I stand with you in that, even across an ocean.

Nothing says ‘unity’ like gluing people to a cause they never signed up for. Truly, the stuff of inspirational political memoirs: How We Won Hearts and Minds by Shoving Them Into a Corner.

You’re right if human rights are negotiable, any merger built on that foundation will collapse under its own hypocrisy. The test of any political union isn’t in the promises it makes but in the promises it refuses to break.

Pam Bondi as Florida AG, defended the state’s ban on same sex marriage and fought against recognizing same sex marriages performed in other states. She joined multistate efforts to overturn the .Affordable Care Act aka Obamacare

Pam Bondi is aggressively dismantling diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs at the federal level. She is also targeting the ESG environmental, social, governance standards rolling back corporate accountability measures for climate and equity.

Pam Bondi worked as a lobbyist and has a history of being entangled in donor scandals notably the Trump University $25,000 donation controversy, where her office dropped plans to investigate.

They called social democracy obsolete? They made it irrelevant by gutting its soul. Leaving wasn’t betrayal. Staying would have been.

When the left trades conviction for convenience, it drives its own people into the wilderness. Call it social democracy, call it decency abandon it, and you leave a vacuum the right is eager to fill. Don’t wonder why voters shift. Look in the mirror right?

Through conversations on Blue Sky when people beyond our borders can dissect the U.S. Constitution and Congress better our own citizens it’s not admiration, it’s indictment. A nation that cannot educate its own becomes a hollow empire, ripe for the plunder of the very world it once sought to lead.

I had to look up the details because I’m not well versed in Dutch politics, but I get it now and I’d be pissed too. When the left starts declaring social democracy obsolete, they’re not just discarding an idea, they’re discarding the people who’ve fought for it.
