As I was posting this, Trump announced a suspect was in custody. This announcement changes nothing else I wrote at this time.

We have become a nation that refuses to see that life, reality, and the world we actually live in are not played out as right or wrong, left or right, black or white; it’s not even gray.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Governor Polis Orders Flags to Half-Staff to Honor the Anniversary of September 11th and the Passing of Charlie Kirk

Someone shot up my kid's school today, and our governor is paying tribute to a guy who thought that is an acceptable price to pay for having the Second Amendment.

Jared Polis has failed Colorado.

FYI, authors, it’s going to take me longer to edit your 300-page AI-generated book than it did for you to β€œwrite” it using AI.

The official voice of the US government Is cruel, gross, and weird. What is that doing to us? Joking memes about imprisonment, deportation, and death by alligator are designed to radicalize and desensitize.

Trump Is Right That D.C. Has a Serious Crime Problem But he has the wrong answer for how to fix it.

Interesting article on DC crime.

Gerrymandering is a problem for both parties. I live in Illinois, there’s no gerrymandering there, said no one ever. The bigger issue to me is that DJT called for it. He wants to rig the election in his favor. It's the Trump double-standard.

There has been an on-going fight to stop a new copper mine in Minnesota near Boundary Waters. The pollution from this mine would decimate the area. It had been stopped under Democratic leadership. I'm assuming there's a push to proceed under Trump.

Republicans know exactly what the BBB does and who's paying attention. They don't care because they don't have to. If history tells us anything it may be years even decades before their cult members start questioning the lies they are being told, let alone be willing to do anything about it.

Purple Heart Army veteran self-deports after nearly 50 years in the U.S. Sae Joon Park left for South Korea on Monday. His removal order was the result of drug possession and bail jumping charges from over 15 years ago β€” offenses that, he said, stemmed from untreated PTSD.
