Formerly lots of different things. Once a believer in the collective wisdom of the American people. The 2024 election cured me of that delusion. I am against ignorance, apathy, cruelty, and selfishness. Almost anything else is welcome in my boat.

Black Americans have more intimate knowledge than most of us about what it's like to live in a police state. How ironic that all those great musicians like Buddy Guy & Howlin' Wolf managed to escape the slave states, make it to Chicago, only to have Donald Trump now send in the Slave State Guard.

Good job, Mr. Frost. Here's hoping that Democratic leadership pays attention to your clear messaging. They need help.

The Republicans always take us to Opposite Land. They tell us that we have it so good while they rob us blind. From the reception they're getting at their own town halls, all the gerrymanders in the world can't save them come the midterms. But ICE & Hegseth's war fighters will most likely try.

I feel the same way about him. I love how he's able to trigger Trump. We need for him to keep doing it. But we need a president who'll loudly refuse to sacrifice the least powerful among us just to please "good" Republicans. That's why I lean toward Pritzker. He's not as pretty. That's also why.

Playing all sides against the middle is how today's Republicans roll. Josh and Lindsey are both just a bit more effete in their alpha male assertiveness than most of the others. But not a one of them can actually pull it off. Just imagine Markwayne Mullen versus a real man like Barry Goldwater.

Someday his master's hounds will come to take him to his one true home. But the world must never forget the emperor who was right about everything. In that spirit, when its blades are weary & its motor finally spent, may the last gasp of every windmill in the world echo his name. TaaaaaaRUMP.

Kathy Hochul is another plainspoken straight shooter. Trump will get more than he bargained for when he finally takes his traveling martial law road show to the Big Apple. HOCHUL + MAMDANI = GOOD TROUBLE. BAD FOR TRUMP.

Trump's deploying Texas National Guard to Chicago. He's sending trigger-happy crackers in full battle gear into black neighborhoods looking for_? Trouble, of course. That's why they're there. White Chicagoans, Hoosiers, whoever's nearby, time to show your peaceful presence on Chicago's South Side.

In the old days, cabinet officers used to provide answers to questions from members of Congress. They'd have assistants sitting alongside them, whispering in their ear, if they were too lazy to make their own notes. Nobody ever refused to answer. Nobody used to shout insults at the questioner.

Sen. Fetterman's scolding his Democratic colleagues, urging them not to refer to Republicans as Nazis or Fascists. What name, I wonder, would he use to describe people who applaud zip tying babies? Who spit on due process & human rights? Who try to crush dissent? JOHN, PUT ON YOUR BIG BOY PANTS.

Jon Stewart nailed it again recently when he described Chuck Schumer as "a human flat tire." How many of you are feeling the same kind of aggravation when it comes to brand new Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman? How disappointing that he turned out to be an ass kisser instead of an ass kicker.

The URGENT APPEAL BY FORMER DOJ OFFICIALS says lots of things. But most important, that Justice can't co-exist with Trump's Vengeance. It won't change what Trump does. But it should be big in the history books. And an eternal slap in the face to the assholes on SCOTUS who signed on to IMMUNITY.

When the Texas National Guard comes to your town, remember that they're made of the same stuff as the 300 heavily armed Texas lawmen who were so scared of one deranged teenager with an assault rifle that they laid low for an hour while he shot 20-plus babies to pieces. HOW CAN YOU BE SCARED OF THEM?

Every one of them captures his soul. Or lack of it. They're absolutely brilliant.

It's up to all of the Democratic Governors to fight for us now. So far only JB Pritzker & Gavin Newsom have spoken clearly enough to be understood & loud enough to be heard. Governors of Pennsylvania & Kentucky had something to say when Kamala was looking for a VP. Why aren't they speaking up now?

Jake Tapper's not the worst there is on cable news. But can you imagine the stink he'd have raised if Biden had tried to answer a question via text? Jake's a strutting peacock, not a journalist. First time I saw his name was on a WAPO piece in the 90s about his blind date with Monica Lewinsky.

THE SCHMUCK THINKS HE'S THE EMPEROR OF THE WORLD.

Trump can't distinguish between TV and reality. Fox keeps running 5-year-old footage of the George Floyd protests in Portland. They want to stir the pot. Dissension among us means more money for the Murdochs. Many in their audience can't tell what's happening. That includes our silly emperor.

And I repeat, black Americans have lived in a police for decades. They've done way more than their share to fight for the rights for us all. Trump's sending trigger-happy white southerners into blue cities just to provoke blacks. People, please show those crackers a SEA OF WHITE instead.

Who are now the two most loathed nations in the world? The United States and Israel, of course. Is there a Nobel Prize for that? Why no, there's no Nobel, it's true. MAYBE TRUMP SHOULD SUE, BUT WHO?

It'll work ONLY if White America stands up en masse. Soccer moms. Veterans. Firefighters. Cops. Sanitation workers. Priests. Construction workers. Every white citizen who believes that black people have already paid more than their share to protect freedom for us all. STAND UP NOW OR YOU'RE NEXT.
