That's just what every country needs: A party so entrenched in power that no other party has a chance of winning. That worked so well in Saddam Hussein's Iraq, after all. And in Hitler's Germany. Authoritarian governments get a bad rap. LOL

Get bent. The word "authoritarianism" is being used accurately here.

I just picked up another album from Freeland at the end of BandCamp Friday. Check it out for yourself. This is country-tinged rock at its best.

If you like folk-tinged guitar songs and want to support me on BandCamp Friday, give my GuitarSongs album a listen.

Here's a song inspired by a chapter in the book Wonderworks: The 25 Most Powerful Inventions in the History of Literature.

Another BandCamp Friday is upon us! I have several things on my wish list that I will likely pick up tomorrow.

Last month, I picked up a Sibelius string quartet, an album of French songs called La maison Orpheline and some mesmerizing Iranian music from Jingul.

Maybe that's the speech he gives himself in the mirror in the morning before he goes out and ... does nothing useful all day. He probably got it mixed up with the one he was supposed to give.

Trump says he’s designating Antifa as a terrorist organization | CNN Politics President Donald Trump said he is designating the far-left anti-fascism movement Antifa as a terrorist organization, announcing the move on his Truth Social platform in the early hours of Thursday mor...

Trump just designated β€œAntifa” as a terrorist organization, on par with ISIS and Al Qaeda. As a reminder, β€œantifa” is short for β€œantifascist”.

They will use this lie to surveil, imprison, and kill Americans on the left.

This may be our Reichstag Fire moment. Wake up.

In the last week of the 1936 campaign, FDR reminded a massive crowd in Madison Square Garden that "organized money" was "unanimous in their hate for me--and I welcome their hatred!"

And then the country rewarded him with a 523-8 landslide in the electoral college.

This is, in fact, good politics.

Trump's legal team. And what's even better in his eyes that the cheapskate doesn't actually have to pay these guys. The work for him for free.

"Just the other day, I was in the audience at Lincoln Center when Justice Amy Coney Barrett said, while promoting a new book, that she doesn't think the United States is in a constitutional crisis," Farias told us. "Today, the Supreme Court, without offering a single line of reasoning, more or less declared that the Fourth Amendment, which protects everyone from unreasonable searches and seizures, nonetheless allows the Trump Administration to arrest and detain anyone who looks Latino, citizen or not, on account of the language that they speak or the kind of jobs they do. The ruling putatively covers the Los Angeles area, but the effect could be national," he continued.
"If that's not a constitutional crisis, then what is?"

The New Yorker asked me β€œhow bad” today’s Supreme Court ruling was. I boiled it down to one paragraph:

Fuck the Supreme Court. They don't represent me, and they don't represent America. They are proving over and over again that they are Trump's personal legal team.
