The location of the July 17 protest will be the intersection of US Rt. 1 and North Street in Calais, about a half mile from the border at St. Stephen, NB. Stay safe.

It was heartening to see this impromptu No Kings protest staged today by some Calais, Maine residents who are as concerned about the decline of US democracy as all other decent Americans. They will be staging a protest on Thursday, July 17, in commemoration of John Lewis Day...

Brian Wilson, Songwriter and Leader of the Beach Boys, Dies at 82 A hitmaker elevated and burdened by the label of genius, he transcended the breezy surf genre to create complex harmonies and intricate soundscapes in the studio.

Judge frees Columbia student activist whom Trump administration wants to deport Mohsen Mahdawi was arrested by immigration authorities as part of a crackdown on foreign students who were legally studying in the United States.

One win in a long fight.

Oh yeah, they did go to Mar-A-Lago. That's unfortunate. Those on the left who try to normalize MAGA are suffering permanent reputation damage it seems. That seems proper.

Maher's cozying up to Trump has really harmed his reputation, I think.

Agreed. Zak is top notch. He can keep it in the pocket like his dad or go unorthodox, like Moon. The Northern unibrow brothers better grab him fast.

It's a classic case of a politically naive, very wealthy older rock star voicing opinions that make sense to him because he would never be adversely affected by them. (See Meatloaf).

Ugh.

Is Daltrey a Tory?

It's odd that Daltrey--usually the most level-headed of Who members--has the issue. Some of our most revered musicians are not aging gracefully it seems (See: Hall & Oates).

From what I hear and read in the news, ICE cannot enter a home without the occupant's permission. Doesn't mean they won't enter a home without occupant permission, ofcourse.

Good point. I also saw that ICE window-smashing insanity in Massachusetts. I believe today's ICE would have harmed the folks in Tennessee who were protecting that man.

It is a timely story. But for accuracy's sake, please note it happened in July 2019.

I feel you, man. It's a legit dangerous time in our country. Do whatever you need to protect you and yours.

You're not the first family member/friend to inquire. It's here when you need it.

Couldn't call it unexpected.

We can't assume he voted for Trump because he didn't specifically say he did. His last, admittedly silly, comment could just be him trying to appear magnanimous before filing his lawsuit. It could also be him trying to ensure his re-entry on returning from Lebanon.

The accused arsonist currently in custody.

I went on that Cody Balmer's Facebook page, which is still up. Couldn't call it unexpected.

We all know this is fine with Bondi, et al.

Gov. Josh Shapiro and Family Evacuated After Arson at Pennsylvania Residence The governor said the State Police banged on the door early on Sunday to wake him and his family after an arsonist set fire to the governor’s official residence in Harrisburg.

Is this our Fort Sumter moment? Or do we just keep taking it from the Confederates?

Oh wow, ok. I need to read up on her.

No, I'm a Crosstrek guy.

Yes, I recorded it and will be watching it this week. Thanks for the head's up!

This makes me proud as an American and a Subaru owner!

Bill's radical centrism, at this point in US history, seems dead wrong to me.

I understand where you're coming from. I have a bit more tolerance for him at present but that keeps getting chipped away. After the election, he really seems to be normalizing MAGA, which I think is suspect. I remember not being offput by Bari Weiss. Is she akin to awful Ben Shapiro?
