Every voter should be a taxpayer who can pass an 8th grade civics exam.

I'd settle for every president being a taxpayer who can pass an 8th grade civics exam.

Poignant

If you reduced a dog’s chain one link at a time, every few days until his chain is so short he won’t be able to move, he will never resist bc he is conditioned to the loss of his freedom slowly over time.

I think it should be clear at this point that like the US federal government has collapsed.

There are no branches. There are no rules.

There is just one man and his truth social posts.

The fact that Winsome Earle-Sears was ranting at the debate the other night, 100% falsely, about solar power (and wind power) supposedly not being reliable, in a sane world would be disqualifying. bluevirginia.us/2025/10/satu... h/t @nicolasfulghum.bsky.social

Nicolas Fulghum: "NEW | EU solar generation has already exceeded its 2024 total as of September ☀️🇪🇺 Solar is by far the fastest growing source of electricity in the EU, up 20% year-on-year."

Oh Hell No. But we've known he is the evil genius in Trump's head. He hatched this plan in 2015.

“Illinois governor says we’re provoking actions that are unlawful,” Miller said on CNN. “If I put federal law enforcement and National Guard into a nice sleepy Southern town, is anyone gonna riot?”

Hegseth's luscious head of hair is going to be snow white before long.

So Quatari military base in Idaho reflects globalism. I'm confused.

Idaho is like Aryan Nation Central. For real?

Pam Keith @pamkeithdc.bsky.social · 17h

Giving a military base (i.e. sovereign space) to a foreign nation is ceding United States territory.

If TACO can give a part Idaho away to Qatar, he can give half of New York away to Israel, or give Alaska back to Russia.

Unbearably violent images from Downtown Chicago where a classical music concert was played on the Chicago River. This is too elegant and magical to be seen.

Everybody everywhere seems to be working and living in a quiet fear, or a sheer panic if your very livelihood or existence is threatened by the Administration's actions. I feel fortunate to be retired, but have had many conversations with furloughed Fed employees from my past days.

So TrumpRx. Hm. Mostly Astra Zeneca formulas?

One thing I don't hear is that we are all over-medicated. MAHA should be also focusing on reducing the need for chemical concoctions. All these drugs have side-effects. Might be useful for one thing, but they can kill you other ways.

$$ for trump.
