There’s a. lot. going on these days. Feeling like the mighty walls of our democratic republic are crumbling down all around you? I get it. I feel it too. Did any of us really expect anything else to happen? We’ve lived on borrowed time, it seems, with merely the facade of a just and fair and representative government. I wish I could pinpoint the moment in history when it stopped...
Eyes Turn to Smartmatic v. Fox Following Dominion v. Fox Settlement News
Breaking news erupting in alerts on all my devices early this Tuesday evening indicate a settlement has been reached in the Dominion v. Fox defamation case. It’s a bit disappointing for those who were hoping this case would wage on and stand sturdily on some idealistic principals of truth in journalism. Truth matters. $787.5 million matters more. Originally set to begin on Monday, the trial...
Dear Florida: An Open Letter
Dear Florida, I’m writing to you today from a place of great heartache. I know I’ve been rather distant in recent years, and the divide between us continues to grow deeper and wider with each passing day. We had a good run back in the day. The thoughts and memories of your sunshine, your glorious palms, beautiful ocean views, and fabulous sunsets and sunrises kept me going and got me...
Criminal Defendant Donald John Trump!
At roughly 2:30 p.m. today in a lower Manhattan courtroom, Donald J. Trump was officially arraigned on criminal charges related to hush money payments made to a porn star in 2016.
Fox ‘News’: Where Money Talks and Ethics Walk
Court filings in a defamation case brought against Fox News Network by Dominion Voting Systems reveal that neither prominent network personalities nor top network executives believed Trump’s claims of voter fraud yet decided time and time again to spread those lies on air. Not once, not twice, but for years. Fox News will probably spin their perpetuation of false accusations and narratives...
Let’s talk about freedom and the choice between ‘normal or crazy’
Anyone else who listened to the Republican response to the State of the Union address feeling a little like you’d been dropped into some sort of bizarre Opposite Land? The response, delivered by Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, seemed rife with obvious examples of projection and gaslighting. Though one statement, above all, rang loudest in its unintended universal truth: “The dividing...
A Few Thoughts on DJT…
So here’s the thing about Donald Trump that many people either don’t seem to know or simply refuse to acknowledge: he’s going to say whatever he thinks the people want to hear him say, whatever will allow him to get his way, to get whatever it is he wants, not for you or me or any of them, but for himself, his ego, and his bank account. He does not care about anyone other than...
Our Sincerest Apologies
Earlier today we took the site down for a wardrobe change and some other maintenance tweaks. In the process, we overlooked turning off subscriber notifications and it appears that we may have accidentally spammed our followers and/or email subscribers with new post notifications. None of those posts were real posts. They were all dummy content from the wardrobe change process. We sincerely...
Nobody is gonna be knockin’ down doors to take away people’s gas stoves!
The ridiculous sh*t that people choose to go off about these days is driving me crazy! Don’t know what I’m talking about? Okay, so here’s the stitch: In December 2022 there was a new peer-reviewed study released discussing the increased risk for asthma in children who are exposed to gas cooking in the home. The study concluded that 12.7% of childhood asthma cases across the...
