Hypocrisy, Thy Name Is Republican

It’s obvious that Republicans don’t like LGBT people. Lately, they’ve had an ongoing hissy fit about drag queens.

But wait! Republicans in the House of Representatives, for the most part, are supporting George Santos.

Can anyone say hypocrisy?

An Unpopular Opinion

We know this opinion will be unpopular because it will seem scary to people.  But the fact is that is that the United States and NATO should have supported Ukraine's request to join NATO.  It wasn't done because of fear that if NATO article 5 was invoked, it potentially could place nuclear powers on the battlefield, particularly the US and Russia.  It was wr

Let Justice Be Done

We would strongly suggest that any member of Congress who, on January 6, 2021, voted  to not certify the 2020 Presidential Election, charged with seditious conspiracy for their effort to aid Donald Trump's failed coup.

Is No One In Government Competent Anymore?

First we had Trump with his malicious concealment of classified documents and his absurd claim that he declassified documents in his mind.  Now, we learn that the document count from Biden's office, home and garage has gone up, yet again.

The average public library has better procedures in place

What’s Behind House Republicans Tax Plans?

House Republicans have launched a multipronged attack on the IRS and the tax code.  They are cloaking it in a way designed to make the average person think that Republicans are trying to reduce their tax burden.  Nothing can be further from the truth.

First, their bill to cancel the funding needed to hire more IRS personnel.  This

Some People Want To See It All Burn

Watching the shenanigans of 21 deranged Ultra Mega MAGA Republicans have decided that if they couldn't destroy American democracy by means of insurrection, or an attempted coup, they will intentionally cripple the federal government. We believe the charge they should be indicted, tried, convicted, and incarcerated for interfering with government busi

An Appropriate Way To End 2022.

Having observed the rise of the far right in the United States, perhaps this piece we found on YouTube sets an appropriate tone for how to deal with it.

The Real Reason Republicans Hate Inflation

Republicans routinely call spending on almost everything, but defense, inflationary.  But, not for the reasons you might expect.  They don't care that the average American has to pay more, just to survive.  That never crossed their minds.  Inflation erodes the wealth of the billionaires and big campaign contributors.  For example, a billionaire with

A while back, we expressed the opinion that the fear of direct involvement in Ukraine, would lead more death and destruction in Ukraine because Putin keeps saber rattling about using nukes, and Biden refuses to understand that it's all a game of chicken and he blinked.

Apparently, we are not alone in thinking this, as you can see from this piece on CNN.

The Problem No One Wants To Solve

Massive migration is a problem no one wants to deal with.

The Republicans don't want these migrants because "they're not our kind of people."  The Democrats are locked into promoting diversity and inclusivity.  The US immigration court system currently has a backlog of over 2 million cases.  Therefor reaching agreement on legislation to

It’s Time To Dump Twitter

Twitter on Thursday suspended the accounts of journalists who cover the social media platform and its new owner Elon Musk, among them reporters working for The New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, Voice of America and other publications.

If it wasn't a vehicle for gathering information, we'd abandon the platform. We suspect there are other organizations that share the

Do you smoke? I don’t. Never have even after being in the Army which had a lot of smokers 20 years ago at least.

But what’s funny to me being a nonsmoker, living in a world without smokers, when I encounter one it’s stark and unpleasant. The smoke obviously, but the lingering smell even when they aren’t smoking and the lingering smells when they have been in a room. Anyone else experience that?
