Retired federal employee living in Madison Wisconsin. “Mad” is a beacon of hope surrounded by a lot of red.
I think Trump is really serious about taking back the Panama Canal no matter what the cost. He will use force to get it and that will be a disaster.

Bannon vs. Musk: Battle of Egos or Policy?

S. Bannon vows to “take down” Elon Musk, calling him “truly evil” and slamming his H-1B visa stance. “He should go back to South Africa,” Bannon added. Is this about immigration or Musk’s influence? Targeting his heritage feels personal, not political.

So Trump won’t rule out the possibility of invading Greenland and Panama and wants to rename the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America. People it’s going to be a long four years!

A school shooting here in Madison today. At least three dead and 6 wounded ranging from light to critical. Will this madness ever end? In this holiday season there are gifts for children under Christmas trees that will never be opened. The weight of that reality is too much for anyone to carry.

Believe the MAGA crowd when they say they are going to payback their billionaire donors with money from social security, Medicare and Medicaid.
