"hand-to-hand combat with antifa every night"

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers. He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States: For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences: For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies: For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments: For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

Just gonna keep tapping the sign*

YouTube video by Democratic Majority Action PAC Hegseth's Comments on the Military Show "He still has a lot to learn," says Amy McGrath

Hegseth claimed we need to “return to the male standard” in combat jobs, but there has never been a separate male and female standard. When women entered combat roles, one standard was set, and we’ve been meeting it ever since. You can either do the job or you can’t. Period.

George III, often known as "Mad King George," was the King of Great Britain and Ireland from 1760 until 1820. While he is famously remembered for losing the American colonies and for his mental illness, he was also the longest-reigning male British monarch.

One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) and Silence of the Lambs (1991) were frequent themes in Trumps 2024 campaign. The first was of civil commitment; the second of criminal. Hannibal Lector was a frequent theme in the that campaign, and returns in the 7/25 E.O. (homeless) and Venezuela rhetoric.

Vascular dementia is a decline in thinking skills caused by brain damage from impaired blood flow to the brain. This can happen suddenly, as with a major stroke, or gradually over time from a series of "mini-strokes”. Some of us can recognize this from unfortunate experience.

POTUS wants to make Insane Asylums great again. On 7/24/25 he signed an executive order "encouraging civil commitment of individuals with mental illness who pose risks to themselves or the public or are living on the streets and cannot care for themselves." See also Venezuela and Hannibal Lector.

While the current U.S. administration is renaming things, they might as well rename the Dept. of Justice as the Dept. of Compliance. They seem far more concerned with compliance with executive orders than justice these days.

Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

Is this tomorrow's Facebook? I wonder. It feels safe here, for now. AOL, MySpace, soon Facebook.... once great, now gone. I believe in America... as it was founded, and reforged in the 1860s. Great then.... but now???
The lesson of middle school is stand up to bullies. Palace, Kremlin, White House.

If we are endowed by our Creator with inalienable rights, then those rights belong to all people—citizens and non-citizens alike.

To argue otherwise is to suggest that our rights come from the government, and that they can be taken away just as easily as they are granted.

The last time Iran and Israel started shooting, Joe Biden was president and his team worked hard to deescalate it. Something tells me that's not going to happen this time around.

I wonder how much of the US military leadership has gathered in Washington DC for this weekend’s big parade?

By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference.

But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

“Delay, Interfere, Undermine” President Donald Trump has praised Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele as a crime fighter, but new reporting based on interviews and documents reveals how senior Salvadoran officials have impeded a U.S....

this is NUTS. Trump's pet dictator seems to have collaborated directly with MS-13, including persecuting his own law enforcement officials who were working with a US task force www.propublica.org/article/buke...

They had no right to impede the U.S. Senator.
I’m guessing these clowns violated state law with regard to assault.
Anyone that laid hand on the Senator should be brought to justice.
And the faces of these thugs should be known.

Sen. Mark Kelly: "What happened today to Sen. Padilla was outrageous. It was violent. It's a scary thing to see happen in the United States of America...The Trump administration has arrested a mayor, a member of congress, and a labor leader...That is not who we are as a country."
