Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

How many speeches has Trump given about schools shootings? Oh right, he ignores them all.

There are so many to choose from, but if I could choose just one issue around which a flipped Congress should center impeachment proceedings, so far it would be the whole rotten Qatar business.

Qatar is getting a lot out of this but it’s not money. They don’t need money they’re drowning in it. What they’re getting is the United States military as a mercenary army.

Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection.

Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

During the Sept. 30 raid one tenant protected a terrified girl and her mom. Remnants at the complex, including a detailed map of all the units, offer clues to what authorities may have known before th...

I find it bleak that ChatGPT now has more users than Wikipedia. Many people would rather be spoon-fed information by a machine than read and research for themselves. Tech isn't just making us dumber. Worse than that: it's killing curiosity itself and the desire to learn.

Same thing with my grandmother. She was an awesome lady but I had to put time limits on my visits because after a while she would always start in on how immigrants were ruining everything in her city. The irony being that she was still living in the house built by her Italian immigrant father.

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

I feel like a broken record, but I have to keep saying it over and over again: a farmer bailout won’t do much of anything because the market is gone. There will be no incentive to plant next year.

The bailout will help payoff farmer debt to the banks. That’s all.

So that’s what I take now and seems to work just as well. So there could be a work around.

Oh jeez it sucks when that happens. I was in that situation last winter. My doctor was able to write a prescription for the same med (methylphenidate ER) but tablets instead of capsules, and for whatever reason they were able to get the tablets but not the capsules.
