The War in Ukraine
At left is one of the reasons that I’ve always admired Adam Kinzinger.
What possessed him to become a Republican I can’t imagine; he doesn’t seem to share a single one of their values of greed, selfishness, ignorance, and hate.
Trump/Kennedy Center
It appears that even the MAGA crowd has its limits when it comes to Trump’s blatant criminality.
Coud it be that the purpose of his putting his name on the Kennedy Center is to find and test those limits?

Appealing to the Addle-Brained
What type of people get wrapped up in stupidity like this?
It’s hard to be proud of your country when it’s populated with people this dim-witted.

ExxonMobil to the Rescue?
Regarding the meme here, ExxonMobil writes: We are helping heavy industry reduce their emissions with carbon capture and storage.A reader remarks: Amazing! ExxonMobil is branching out into comedy! Now it wants to reduce CO2 emissions and save the planet!
Taking Absurdity to the Next Level: Trump vs. Venezuela
Here’s the White House press secretary talking about how President Trump is taking on the drug cartels, to keep Americans safe from fentanyl. “It was a promise the president made on the campaign trail, and he’s making good on it.”
If the U.S. were attacking Mexico, this might be vaguely credible. But anyone who believes that our hostility against Venezuela is based on Trump’s dedication to halting the influx of drugs into this country is a true idiot.
In Most Places, Racists May Want to Keep Their Opinions to Themselves
From the Hollywood Reporter:
Kristin Chenoweth was deeply affected by the backlash to her comments about the death of Charlie Kirk.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter published on Nov. 3, the “Wicked” star, 57, addressed the mixed reactions she received in September after writing on Instagram that she was “upset” about the conservative activist’s killing. “Didn’t always agree but appreciated some perspectives,” she said at the time.
If you’re the owner of a gun shop, making a statement to the effect that you’re a Trump supporter, and have an appreciation for perspective of racism is probably not going to do you too much harm, since intelligent and compassionate people don’t hang out in places that assault rifles are sold.
On the other hand, if you’re a public figure, especially an entertainer, you might do well to keep your hateful opinions to yourself.
We Lost a Great Humanitarian
I have to confess that I had no idea that Rob Reiner was such a ferocious humanitarian–even when I saw him attack Trump.
Technology that Makes You Stupid
The cartoon here could be referring to “news” programs like Newsmax and Fox News.
Or, it could be talking about social media, and the people who use it to promulgate bullcrap.
In either case, it’s clever and on-point.
Why American Democracy Is Collapsing
The author of the meme here has a good point. If the working class weren’t on board with Trump, we wouldn’t be in this deplorable condition.
What has taken us to this point is Trump’s tax breaks for billionaires paid for by gutting the federal government of everything is has traditionally done for the common American.
A Message of Kindness from a Fine Actor
It’s hard to imagine why the message of compassion at left isn’t universal.
Do we have a beef with the people of Russia or China? With folks who are gay, black, or poor?
What do we have to gain with our American First mentality?
What’s the downside of taking care of one another?
