“What is Moria? It is where Europe’s ideals—solidarity, human rights, a safe haven for victims of war and violence—dissolve in a tangle of bureaucracy, indifference, and lack of political will. It is the normalization of a humanitarian crisis. It is the moral failure of Europe”. Rachel Donadio Over twelve thousand...

Like the fantasy airline flights filled with numerous thugs, the delusional election stunts continue. The riff here is on “autonomous zones”. x This is the latest attempt to distract from the fact that COVID-19 has infected over 6 million Americans, killed 185,000 people, and destroyed the American economy. The only anarchy...
The video just now surfaced of the murderer of Kenosha and his deplorable buddies attacking and beating a girl.

Mary Trump audio-recorded her conversations with Maryanne Barry Trump a couple of years ago, and WaPo has a few more details beyond what’s in the new book. Maryanne Trump Barry, 83, was aghast at how her 74-year-old brother operated as president. “His goddamned tweet and lying, oh my God,” she...
They’ve left Seattle, now it’s time for Portland. “Why can't we all just get along”, as the ACLU charges that law enforcement has targeted journalists at the Portland protests.

There are many people angry and hurt and I get that greatly ! I have been angry for a long long time about Police brutality. I have witnessed it for years in different situations but the first one affected me so much that I fought back and was only 16....
I watched the movie Groundhog Day, just a few days ago, and it hit me that collectively we are living the life of Phil—tomorrow is the same day. This is the story, of a day in the life of a mother. Pardon me if I am a little partial, she...
God/Jehovah/Allah/Buddha/The Goddess and any other possible higher power save me from the worst in human beings during this time of pandemic. If it were not for Governor Andy Beshear, I would be in absolute despair. If that vile putrid mound of slime and sorry excuse called Matt Bevin had been...
First an apology. My post yesterday on my decision to vote for Warren (which I did at about 9:45 AM) and to contribute to her campaign ($100 online) was my first posting here in more than a month. Some may remember that in mid-November I suffered a stroke, later had...
To many, Omaha Nebraska is where you could buy insurance from the company that sponsored the Wild Kingdom TV show. Henry Fonda and Johny Carson were from Omaha.

On the inconspicuous heels of Eric Swalwell, another Democratic presidential candidate has abruptly disappeared like a popcorn ghost fart in the desert wind. Former Alaska Sen. Mike Gravel has decided to briefly emerge from the mouldering moose carcass he was hiding in to announce he’s suspending his campaign. Politico: Gravel’s...
Of course, Donald Trump reliably made himself look foolish yesterday when he boldly declared his kingship in front of a bunch of teenagers at the Turning Point USA student summit. But it looks like some brave patriot managed to make him look even more un-American than he already was. The “presidential”...
I’d love to believe in a world where I’m not a champion high jumper because Canadian spies sneak into my bedroom at night and surreptitiously force-feed me McDonald’s hot apple pies through a beer bong. But, sadly, I live in consensus reality, so no. But Donald Trump doesn’t have any...
Heading home from a vacation in Atlanta so I am playing a little catch-up. Received a few e-mails from U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D. NV) in support of Democrats running for the U.S. Senate. First, there’s this one: When it comes to representation for women in Congress, we’ve certainly made...

Sadly, an Air Force buddy I had served with over 20 years ago is, today, a huge Trump fan. He’s the complete package, down to the stupid red hat and wacky conspiracy theories. His immigrant attacks must have made things particularly awkward with his lovely wife, who immigrated from Mexico. (I actually...

Howard Schultz swore as he wrenched the steering wheel on his rented car, barely making the freeway on-ramp. His floundering presidential campaign had him so distracted he could barely focus on driving.

If you may or may not have heard, this asshole said this last week: Rep. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.) blasted professor Christine Blasey Ford’s accusation of sexual assault against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh as “absurd” because they were merely drunken teenagers at the time. Besides, Cramer added, it was “supposedly...
