Retired Working On The Next Act.
Focused on separating the wheat from the chaff.
RIP Robert Tinney (November 22, 1947 – February 1, 2026), the artist famous for his playful covers for Byte magazine, a hobbist magazine that ushered in the microcomputing age. Some of his works are in my art collection.

Should your concept include members of the press?
One lesson from the Epstein–Mandelson affair is that we need to stop routinely rehabilitating political careers after serious scandals.

When politicians knowingly engage in grave ethical wrongdoing, that should permanently end their political careers. Being "talented" should not override that.

Dark Joke of the Day

What's the difference between Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Federal Security Service (FSB)?
With FSB, the system is rigged and you give up.
With FBI, you get “due process” until they rig the system and you give up.

It was usually a co-worker’s snarky remark at the old Dayton Daily News that would set off the coffee-related shenanigans.
What do you mean by "Did you just take a gulp of coffee, inhale a tiny bit of it, and cough a mouthful across your desk?"

No. And I am insulted by your insinuation.

he only way I see to prevent this in the future is to have local Law Enforcement separating protestors from ICE officers. Protecting protestors is paramount.
I'm sure a few ICE agents suspect this already, but it seems very clear that DJT, Miller & Bovino WANT an ICE agent to get killed. They need their own martyr. There is a reason they are putting them in increasingly volatile situations.

If true that Greg Bovino is being demoted and forced to retire, it’s because of us. The resistance.

Now let’s step it up and get rid of Kristi Noem for good.

Keep saying "it could have been you."

Yes it could have. You don't have to carry a firearm or be fighting law enforcement officers, you don't have to actively resist arrest to take an ass-whoopin', and then get shot.

So, yes... it could have been you. Shut up.
