Voracious reader; atoms before bytes. My opinion about research? Read. Read. Read. Part owner of Canada, so don't mistake kindness for weakness! Yes, I realize America can take us over, but it will pay a price.

It's a Trumpian circle . . . procurement of weapons, ammo, vehicles, yada-yada . . . all made in the "arsenal of (a former) Democracy."
Eisenhower's warning about the dangers of the Military Industrial Complex never included outfitting an American Brownshirt army.
Republicans are cowards.

Danish Foreign Minster Lars Løkke Rasmussen speaks after WH meeting: "For us, ideas that would not respect the territorial of the Kingdom of Denmark and the right of self-determination of the Greenlandic people are of course totally unacceptable. We therefore still have a fundamental disagreement."

In such turbulent times, a bit of levity visited me today.
So Melania's doc film is to premiere at the KENNEDY Center and then be released January 30th.
Any bets that Trump & Toadies will begin a campaign to demand the Oscar for Best Documentary?
I mean, a gold statue is irresistible, right?😉

Absolutely right Charlie. Randy Fine has demented politics BUT is also a Harvard grad and calls himself "The Hebrew Hammer."
And "stepping up" means having an honest talk with your family about HOW we defend our Arctic.🍁

America's best chance at winning the midterms is to have a plan. How about it Democratic & Independent politicians? Form a 'Save America Working Group' and work up a response as to what to expect from Trump's opposition other than just resisting his overreach. How about it? 🗽

Some forethought went into this anti-ICE protest in New Jersey.
Why can't the Trump Administration understand that the protests aren't about Immigration, they're about the rule of law. Protect the border, but don't break the law to doing it! 🗽
