I was talking with my long time friend David Ellman the other day. Actually, we were venting our rage over 19 more kids and two more teachers being massacred. We were livid. We, like most of the American people, are sick of the constant stream of innocent dead people, the hypocritical thoughts and prayers, the… [read more]
Where The Plan Leads
Mark Zaboroski posted a commentary on Bring Back Democracy, which included this picture of mini-Trump, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, blowing deceitful sunshine up the butts of MAGA maniacs. He wrote, “I don’t know who the woman over his right shoulder in the photo is, but I did hear part of her little speech. She declared… [read more]
Happy Memorial Day
No. Not “happy’. We seem to be habituated to that word, applying it to every holiday or celebration. Makes sense for some – Happy birthday, Happy Halloween, Happy Fourth of July, Happy Valentine’s Day, Happy Groundhog Day, Happy Thanksgiving and the rest. Christmas is different, of course. We’ve decided it should be merry. Regardless, we… [read more]
Murderers Welcome
Shannon Watts was a communications executive and is the mom of 5 kids. The day after 20 kindergartners and first graders (6- & 7-year-old little kids)* and 6 teachers and staff were gunned down at Sandy Hook Elementary School in December 2012 she started a FaceBook group. She urged all Americans to do whatever we… [read more]
Choices
We have choices every election day, of course, which is the whole point. But the next two exercises really will be different in ways we have never faced before, even in 2020 and after, with the ongoing efforts of traitors who are explicitly trying to defeat the will of We The People. The reason the… [read more]
Actually, We Will Replace Them
“Silence is complicity.” “We have to refuse to live in a country where fear and lies are packaged for power and for profit.” “We must all enlist in this great cause of America.” “This is work that requires all of us—presidents and politicians, commentators, citizens. None of us can stay on the sidelines. We have… [read more]
This Isn’t The Time
Instructions Study this material. There is a test at the end. ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ I know that this isn’t the time, because after each horrific mass shooting in America Mitch McConnell tells us that yet again. He said that after Sandy Hook. He said that after Parkland. He said that after the Pulse Nightclub and Sugar Land… [read more]
Excess Deaths
Excess death is what happens when a virulent killer arrives at civilization’s door. It’s the number of people who have died over and above the number who would have died in the absence of, say, bubonic plague, the Spanish Flu or Covid-19. The World Health Organization (WHO) recently announced that there were 15 million excess… [read more]
Show-And-Tell
There have been an uncountable number of rallies and protests since the draft copy of the Justice Alito-written decision of the Supreme Court to crush Roe was made public. My observation is that public outrage is on a level with that over the murder of George Floyd (say his name). Even Stephen Colbert couldn’t manage… [read more]
Don’t Tell Me
Stop the Presses! Before we get to the meat of today’s post, please watch this most timely video. You’ll know what to do after that. Then, come back here for the aforementioned meat. ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ Don’t Tell Me You remember Popeye cartoons, I’m sure.
