Dominion Voting Systems v. Fox I wanted this case to go to trial to see Carlson, Hannity, Murdoch and the rest humiliated on the witness stand for their lies and their traitorous exhortations to sedition. That comes from the same driver as putting wrongdoers into the stocks in the town square in colonial days. That… [read more]
NO! v2.0
We Americans routinely let tragedy happen to school children, as at the Covenant School in Nashville and at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde and now at a Dadeville, AL sweet 16 party. Children are powerless to stop the murdering, so they count on we adults, we good people, to speak up and say “NO!“ This… [read more]
NO! v1.0
In Sam Adler-Bell’s essay The One Thing Trump Has That DeSantis Never Will, he makes distinctions between the manipulative governor and the unscrupulous Trump.

Nixon Resigns – Then and Today

His comments usually focus on literary issues in a most clever way. However, last Sunday he uncharacteristically dipped a toe in my accustomed pond. His piece is so good that I… [read more]

Again and Again
Three little children showed up for third grade on Monday. Now they’re dead. We have a school shooting every 3 days. We have a mass shooting twice every 3 days. The biggest cause of death of children under 18 is not auto collisions. It isn’t any disease. It is gunfire. We have enough firearms in… [read more]
