The Republican National Committee set aside a bit of time this week from censuring Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger to pass a resolution or profess, as part of their manifesto, that those who stormed the Capital Building on January 6th, intent on killing members of Congress and Vice President Pence,…
There’s just too much data. Everyone’s distracted by the influencenatti Tik Tok-ing, texting, meme-ing, blah, blah, blah, blah, “Hey…look over here!” News anchors, talk show hosts, pod casters, bloggers, (sorry), and anyone else vying for your attention to make a point or rage against someone else’s. It’s all just noise…
…in plain sight, one side is proposing a long list of legislation, desirable and beneficial to individuals, the country and the planet, and the other side has, uhhhh, nothing. Well, that’s not completely true, they do have the ridiculous parliamentary power to obstruct, which, also in very plain sight, they…
I’ve been whining incessantly about the downward slide of humanity. I’m sure my friends have had enough of my obsession with the topic, even as it surfaces more and more frequently, whether I bring it up or not. The downward spiral, the bowl-clearing loo eddy, (clockwise or counter, depending on…

I really have little to say this week. It’s not that the never-ending shit storm isn’t at its blusteriest…democracy is in free-fall, Mother Nature is very, very unhappy with us, peace and goodwill are merely two words that begin with ‘p’ and ‘g’…but it’s the holidays and most people are…
The basis of culpability, the most fundamental precept of our innocent-until-proven-guilty assurance in matters of criminality when presented to a jury, teeters on the commonsense evaluation of “reasonable doubt”.

Hey…Democrats…have you noticed what’s going on all around you? A very malleable, near-fifty-percent of Americans are being fed a constant meal of whack-a-doodle bullshit that obviously seems quite yummy to them. The constant noise by Fox News and a radical gang of crazy legislators has successfully messaged an agenda that…
