My dear friends why does it appear to observers from across the pond think the states are inexorably sliding towards a second civil war. Actions and responses only point in one direction…..

I don’t know about you, but anytime I see a famous person say that “the Epstein list is a distraction” or that “it doesn’t exist” my first thought is that they or one of their friends is on the list.

The War on Women When we said women and people who loved them needed to vote like their lives depended on it in 2024, it wasn’t hyperbole.

"The Hippocratic oath no longer matters, at least not if your patient is an unmarried woman who’s pregnant. ...this is next level. This is a doctor denying a patient care because he, HE, doesn’t approve of the way she is choosing to live her life."

A man sits quietly in the filtered light of a veranda, cradling a cat in his arms—an image rendered with restraint and tenderness in this large-scale watercolor by Lars Lerin. At Home exemplifies Lerin’s ability to draw intimacy from stillness. His layered washes and softened contours evoke not only the warmth of light on a wooden interior, but the deeper, emotional texture of solitude shared. One of Sweden’s most esteemed contemporary artists, Lerin is widely celebrated for his mastery of watercolor and his meditative, often autobiographical depictions of Northern domesticity and landscape. A prolific author and television figure, his reputation is grounded in the quiet integrity of works like this—where silence, affection, and time itself seem to settle visibly onto paper.

And now for something completely different..

Boycotting is a privilege.

Prepping is a privilege.

Protesting is a privilege.

Leaving the country is a privilege.
