Amidst the ongoing day to day chaos that has become the hallmark of the US political system, there is a bit of good news. An amendment was added to the recently passed 2024 National Defense Appropriations Act that will make it harder for any president (think Trump) to pull out of NATO. This was passed… Continue reading The Trump and Putin Bromance

With my sincere apologies to the Brothers Grimm, I would like to tell you the story of Trumpelstiltskin! ( I decided to get a bit silly today because if I don’t laugh once in a while, I will start crying about what is happening in this country!) Once upon a time in a land called… Continue reading The Tale of Trumpelstiltskin

I would say that the circus in the House of Representatives is over, but I think it’s just entering a new phase – Act 2, if you will.  The clowns did elect a lead clown so there is now an official Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson from Louisiana!  Mike Johnson is relatively unknown and,… Continue reading Oct 26, 2023

The circus with the Republican clowns in the House of Representative just keeps getting uglier and uglier.  It would be funny if it weren’t so serious.  It would be funny if the world wasn’t going up in flames while these Republican idiots are so consumed with petty issues and petty grievances that they are unable… Continue reading Oct 25, 2023

A government by the people – especially rule of the majority”; 2.a. a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections.”  Those… Continue reading Oct 24, 2023

The circus in the House of Representative continues this week but without a ringleader, it is full blown chaos.  I sincerely hope that Matt Gaetz and his seven co-conspirators understand the serious wound they have inflicted upon the United States.  Although, frankly, I don’t think this gang of eight cares.  This is just par for… Continue reading Oct 23, 2023

I am aware facts don’t seem to matter to a lot of Republicans in general and even more troubling, amongst the Republicans in Congress.  For example, the Big Lie that has not yet died and continues to carom around the rightwing ecosphere like a motorized billiard ball despite the FACT that it has proven to… Continue reading Oct 21, 2023

The clown circus in the House of Representatives continues as Jim Jordan is apparently going to force a third vote on the floor for his seemingly ill-fated bid to become Speaker.  Just like his current tenure as chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Jordan seems to believe that the path to success lies in bullying,… Continue reading Oct 20, 2023

Quite frankly, the enemies of the United States such as Russia, China, and Iran and even terrorist organizations such as Hamas, Hezbollah, and Al Qaeda are collectively laughing their asses off at the circus going on with the Republican Party in the US House of Representatives which is unable to coalesce around a leader.  They… Continue reading Oct 19, 2023

How did we get here?  The Republican Party nominated Jim Jordan to the position of Speaker of the House.  This is a man who has not passed a single piece of legislation in his 16 years in the House.  This is a man who has been accused of ignoring sexual assaults against his wrestlers when… Continue reading Oct 18, 2023
