“When the Jews return to Zion
and a comet rips the sky
and the Holy Roman Empire rises
then you and I must die."

"From the eternal sea he rises
creating armies on either shore,
turning man against his brother
‘til man exists no more.”

"The path to authoritarianism in this country is being built on the backs of immigrants. They will begin with immigrants.
They will not end with immigrants."

If U.S. literacy rates are any valid metric and indicator of politics and policy knowledge, then 21% of the U.S. electorate knows diddly squat, because they are functionally illiterate.

I truly believe that instead of being mum and accepting the 2024 presidential election results, Democrats should have challenged the results because we all know the Orange Turd, if he had lost would have claimed the election was rigged and demanded a recount.

The President wants to use the military to crack down on Americans who are exercising their 1st Amendment rights to oppose him. I can’t think of a better reason to insist on exercising those rights.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

33 years ago today, Homer Simpson bought a talking Krusty doll from the House of Evil. (That's bad.) “Treehouse of Horror III” first aired October 29, 1992.

The doctor gave me an MRI because I'm in perfect health and there's definitely nothing wrong with me.

There is always a quid pro quo.
No one just gives large sums of money and not expecting something in return.

He’ll just claim the test was rigged and the results are a hoax.

Some Republicans across the south are preparing to redraw their congressional maps to boot Democrats out of office — if the Supreme Court issues a ruling on a case gutting the Voting Rights Act in time for the midterms.

Red states are preparing for an end to the Voting Rights Act

An end to the Voting Rights Act would free up Southern states to dramatically overhaul their congressional map.

Whether its a sporting event, shortage of food, gas, etc. or a natural disaster, you can count on profiteers to take advantage to make a buck. Where the money comes from or the circumstances is inconsequential.

It’s all about the money.

Spent Labor Day week at Big Sur Campgrounds one year. Have always enjoyed the drive along PCH from Monterey down to Santa Barbara. Drove down from Big Sur to San Simeon and took the tour. Fascinating property and history of the patriarch of one of California’s wealthiest families.
