My wife returned to California from the East Coast yesterday and remarked that the plane was about half full; she and many other passengers had whole rows to themselves.  This, of course, is precisely what the transportation sector hates most: lost revenue opportunities.

It seems there are two main reasons:

1) Americans are terrified to spend money on things like summer vacations, given their fear of a deep recession driven by Trump’s tariffs and other forms of gross stupidity re: the economy.

2) Europeans would rather vacation in North Korea or South Sudan than set foot in the United States.  It’s hard to blame honest and intelligent people for wanting to avoid the United States as if it were on fire.

It’s a complete tragedy, and we have 3.5 more years to live through it.

Anyone stupid enough to work for this woman deserves exactly what he/she gets.

Despite what viewers of Fox News are told, over the last few years, there have been fewer than 100 proven cases of fraud out of more than a billion votes cast.

The reason for this seems obvious: the penalties are significant, and the benefit to the individual is essentially zero.

Do you want to vote for Biden (or Trump, or Eugene V. Debs) more than once, under both your real name and a few aliases?  Be my guest.  If you think it’s worth risking a felony conviction, you have a screw loose.

If you think election workers or the vendors of election machines are cheating en masse, ask yourself why litigation against Fox News by Dominion Voting Systems forced Fox to write a check for $787 million in a defamation suit.   It was proven in court that Fox routinely and systemically lied, and it cost them the better part of $1 billion.

Here, Obama lays out the truth about life here and now in the United States.

You can be disgusted, but if you’re silent and apathetic, you’re serving Trump.

This concept goes back to the 60s: You’re either part of the solution or you’re part of the problem.

Like the guy whose story is told at left, I too take great pleasure in complimenting people for making anti-Trump statements, whether those statements are on apparel, bumper stickers, or anything else.

For those who may not be too familiar with Pennsylvania, “Deep Red PA” means the center of the state.  Those who live in and around the state’s two biggest cities, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, are generally well educated, and Trump supporters are hard to find.  Move 40 miles from these population centers, and you’re surrounded by people with the same political sensibilities as the folks in Alabama and Mississippi.

At left we have evidence that there is literally nothing that Trump could possibly do or say that would turn off his support base.

I can’t be the only who’s noticed that checking for traffic before crossing a street has become a lost art in the United States.

I remember very clearly that the first time my parents let me out of their eyesight, they had drilled the concept of “looking both ways” into my head.

Hell, the albino moose in this video does a better job than most Americans.

Thanks to the reader who sent me this for making me smile.

It’s hard to feel sorry for anyone who has any dealings with Trump whatsoever.

Lots of people seem to be concerned that Trump is senile. At left is a good, solid data point supporting this concept.

Sure, the Oklahoma school board’s decision to teach students that Trump was cheated out of the 2020 U.S. presidency by massive voter fraud was controversial, especially considering that 60+ courts throughout the nation found that there was no evidence to support the claim.

But one might have thought that people would eventually get tired of this topic and move on.  After all, we are talking about a state that ranks #49 in education. Is all this really that conversation-worthy?

Apparently so.  It doesn’t seem to be going away, at least on social media.
