Re-Writing the Constitution to Suit the Surge in American Racism
Speaking strictly for myself, I don’t have a problem with the Constitution as our Founding Fathers wrote it.
Who Wants Massive Change to Our Voting Procedures? Answer: a Few Crackpots
The vast majority of Americans are fine with the systems each of our 50 states have put into place, per the U.S. Constitution. There is an infinitesimal amount of voter fraud.

Did Nothing Happen to Those who Refused the COVID Vaccination?
It depends on what you mean by “happened.”
They were somewhere between 14 and 53 times more likely to die of the disease. I wouldn’t call drowning in one’s own puss and blood “nothing.”
Side Note: Being an anti-vaxxer is not a good look. I don’t know a single guy who would come within 50 yards of this crackpot.

How Long Will Trump’s Damage Last?
Nobody really knows, but ask yourself this: once World War II was over, was Germany still considered a pariah nation “generations” later?

“Relocating” the Palestinians
Earlier today, I was sitting near two women whose conversation went like this:
Woman #1: I’m so happy to hear that President Trump will be relocating the Palestinians from Gaza, enabling him to give that land to Israel and establish what he calls the “Riviera of the Middle East” along the eastern shore of the Mediterranean.
Woman #2: Are the Palestinians unhappy in their home?
I’m thinking: Well, I haven’t interviewed any of them personally, but they have been living there since the Bronze Age, about 5000 years ago.
On Capitalism
Re: the meme here, I wonder what the people living in the happiest nations on Earth would say.
From the 2026 World Happiness Ranking, here are the top 6:
- Finland (7.76)
- Iceland (7.54)
- Denmark (7.54)
- Costa Rica (7.44)
- Sweden (7.26)
- Norway (7.24)
Notice anything?
They are all social democracies. Their average citizens pay slightly higher taxes, but a) they receive free education and healthcare, and b) there is virtually no poverty.
Looks Like Trickle-Down Economics Is Still Alive in the Minds of Conservatives
Providing the conditions under which the poor can become affluent is, of course, a good thing. Quality education and free daycare is a good start.
But making rich people richer with tax breaks for billionaires has been a proven failure.
Here’s How to Clean Away a Messy Toilet Using Today’s Incredible Technology
I’ve never seen a toilet this soiled by diarrhea. But thankfully, there are now products that use pressurized steam to clean messes like this more-or-less instantly.
Apparently, they’re selling like hotcakes, but only to people incapable of asking themselves, “Where does all this fecal matter actually go? Does it seem like a good idea to blast it all over the bathroom? And if the bathroom door’s not closed, all over the house?”

Home Schooling Is a Bit Controversial
In an average month, I meet at least one person who is homeschooling their child. I’m always tempted to ask about their reasoning, but I don’t, as it would bring up politics in at least 90% of cases, and I don’t like to alienate people by putting them on the defensive.
They probably know that homeschooling comes at a cost in terms of depriving the kid of the socialization that comes along with being surrounded with children their own age, but they believe they are protecting their kid from the multiplicity of dangers in public, and perhaps worse, private schools, starting with required vaccinations, then continuing into indoctrination into godlessness, socialism, science, and questioning the morality of America.
Obviously, as U.S. citizens, we have an extremely broad range of rights when it comes to how we raise our children. If we keep them fed and get them medical treatment when required, we’re home free.
If I had any inclination whatsoever to challenge these people, I’d ask about their proficiency with history, writing, and math. Even the common MAGA parent can teach his kid to read at a basic level and get through the multiplication tables, but how well is he equipped to take on geometry and the developments made by the Sumerians?
Clearly, such a discussion on this topic could get ugly very quickly.

Pride Flags
To me, a pride flag says, “We accept LGBTQ people, and we bear them no malice.”
That seems just fine.
