It’s ok to politically disagree with someone on almost everything and still find yourself fighting for the same thing on the same moral grounds.
It’s how things used to be.

- those who think protecting pedophiles is a bridge too far.
- those who don’t think it is.
- those who don’t know what a bridge is.

Credit to Massie and others for throwing haymakers every day.
This thing is not going away.
Like I said earlier, this time the fuse has been lit.

It turns out the government is keeping public lists of those fiercely defending President Trump and his cabal of pedophiles.
They’re called sex offender registries.

Huh. Imagine that.
US had almost *no* job growth in 2025.
Hiring numbers were revised down by over a million jobs.
Largest annual revision in over 20 years.

U.S. added 130,000 jobs in January, but labor market growth stalled in 2025
The Bureau of Labor Statistics found that U.S. employers added 181,000 jobs last year, far fewer than the 1.46 million jobs that were added in 2024.

On this President’s Day it’s an important reminder that for the first time in American history the United States doesn’t have a President but instead is being destroyed by a vindictive hateful trashy fraudulent lying diabolical sadistic criminal tyrant and his regime of crooks.

My theory of the moment: The extraordinary courage of ordinary people in places like Minneapolis is reawakening us to our social and economic ties to immigrants. It's making "love thy neighbor" cool again. That's the ultimate antidote to MAGA hate.
