I have an idea for a new party
The party is open to Republicans less than enamored of Trump and Democrats willing to look away from their sadly wasted last decade.
It will be called the Alt National Party.
For patriots who believe in a return to government based on competence rather than ideology.

Anyone know how to start a new political party? I must admit I feel the Republicans have relinquished their right to be called democratic, and the Democrats-- with a very few notable exceptions-- are running scared and yet continue to engage in protracted navel-gazing.

As most of you know, I am a curious person.
Some things I am curious about:
Trmp wants to ban CBS, CNN because they continue to maintain that the 2020 election was not stolen. Why does he not use his apparently unlimited power to find evidence that it WAS stolen?
He rails against Denmark

Somehow all the promises Trump made are not being fulfilled. Where is the lower inflation on eggs, the investment in infrastructure, bringing manufacturing back to the US?

I inadvertently took this picture of Trump Tower just after it was finished, not knowing what it was.
There is probably some hidden meaning in the tilting of my picture.

Nice piece on the early internet in the UK:
Who knew, for example, that the progress was very nearly halted because British government agencies who were negotiating for entry into the EU were worried that the Internet would tie the UK too tightly to the US?

I am always jumping between Windows and Mac and IOS. Why Apple's iCloud will not allow uploading folders from the browser interface is a mystery to me.
Folders have been around since the dawn of time and should not be arcane to Apple developers.

Despite my best efforts, I have yet to change anyone's political or religious opinion, so maybe it is time to not worry about it.
I may nevertheless continue occasionally to express my opinion and maybe throw in a few facts that are cherry-picked to back it up.
Sorry if that bothers you.

Living as I do in Germany, I often ask myself, what could I have done as an ordinary citizen in 1933 to defend, protect, or hide those fleeing persecution. I wonder if ordinary American citizens are thinking about this now as the greatest mass prosecution in American history is looming?

One of my friends was complaining (or, in his native language, "minging") about author Charles Dickens' habit of overusing commas and other line separators in his Victorian prose.
I suggested he was overdue for a semicolonoscopy.
