I offer this as defense of my previous post.

We are not playing against a cabal ofdeep thinkers. They may hold the reins of government, but holding a complete thought to its resolution escapes them.

I'm seeing a lot of "The evidence is gone" posts, but remember a few things:

1. The "file" isn't. It's thousands of discreet pieces of evidence.

2. The DOJ has a copy. So do the courts.

3. Other folks have seen the evidence.

This mango admin can't do anything right. I'm sure they missed stuff.

QUIT PLAYING PARTISAN POLITICS WITH THESE VICTIMS. RELEASE THE FILES. BRING THE GUILTY TO JUSTICE REGARDLESS OF PARTY.

It's time.

Get active, Even if you are in a blood-red morass of idiocy.

Talk to your neighbors, even if they are flying Trump flags.

Talk to your elected officials, even if they are MAGA.

Run for something, even if you never have.

Make sure your opposition to this horror show is on record.

True enough, if this were the first abdication of authority on the part of the Democratic Party. But the lack of a ground game โ€” ANY ground game โ€” in red states allowed this toxicity to fester and mutate for years.

So the GOP can move ahead on gutting health care.

The opposition party has still not realized that you have to OPPOSE the majority.

Letting them have what they want is collaboration, not resistance.

Mississippi Democrats Break Republican Senate Supermajority, Flipping 3 Legislative Seats After 13 years, Mississippi Democrats broke the Republican Party's supermajority in the Mississippi Senate, flipping 3 legislative seats.

Yeah, the east and west coasts stood up. Even Georgia made progress. But when MISSISSIPPI breaks the red noose around its legislative neck, you know there is something way more fundamental going on: www.mississippifreepress.org/mississippi-...

I was in brigade headquarters when award nominations were being processed after a deployment.

"Which one do you want?" I was asked.

"Talk to me after the ones for my guys are approved," was my reply.

All of my troops received their decorations. That was reward enough.

"Only the best people."

I wish I had known that a Ph.D. in social policy qualified me to head up research for the Navy. That might have changed my whole career track.

Megalomania much? How much longer is the MAGA effete Congress going to put up with this?

Even worse, how much longer will the American people tolerate this kind of lunacy?

Coastal elites push changes that threaten Gullah-Geechee communities, culture There were at one point 12 Gullah communities on Sapelo Island, with a half-dozen left after World War II. Now, only one remains.

Iโ€™ve spent the better part of a year developing contacts, doing interviews and digging through research on the issues facing some of the last Gullah-Geechee communities off the Atlantic coast. Hereโ€™s the last in a four part series, with the first three stories linked at the bottom:

Careful there, Jamelle. Johnson is from north Louisiana. We basically consider that Arkansas.

A thought from the pulpit of the Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church this morning, hours after a violent shooting left two dead and more than a dozen injured blocks away in downtown Montgomery:

โ€œIt seems to me we have too many boots on the ground and not enough knees on the ground.โ€

Defense Secretary Hegseth requires new 'pledge' for reporters at the Pentagon The Pentagon is implementing new guidelines that will require journalists to sign a pledge and agree to report only approved and officially released information.

So wtf do you call this?
