Merry Christmas to all. For some it is Christmas and for others it is a few ticks away. May we ignore the news, the world, and everything but family, football, food, and the reason for the season. Don't ignore the teaching of the child in the manger. We could use a reminder this Christmas. Peace!

I took a walk back through my younger days watched "Woodstock." How exciting and invigorating.

Amanda has a way of providing serious commentary on the right-wing media while making me belly laugh. I'm not sure it was intentional, but the right-wing media is hilarious in their groveling for a portion of the grift.
The Erika Kirk v. Candace Owens feud isn't just juicy.

It's a sign that the MAGA movement is destabilizing, especially as Trump gets weaker.

It's also a story of how the GOP ceded leadership to greedy influencers, and now that's backfiring.

To make common cause with this Administration is to support an affirmatively white supremacist vision of this country. Period.

Every corporation.
Every Republican.
Every influencer.
Every Governor.
Every evangelical leader.
Every voter. Yes. Every voter.
Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

You’ve probably heard but I have been federally indicted by Trump’s DOJ.

We now have to cover the costs of a campaign *and* a legal battle to preserve our First Amendment rights.

They are going to invade Venezuela for their vast supply of oil and rare earth minerals. It's not about drugs. He sees the country as an easy target.

Where is the Congressional oversight?

Does that mean US boats in international waters are now fair game?
I'm thinking of Houthis sinking US ships, that's pretty much the same thing right?
