Did ICE Agents Murder Two Innocent Protestors?
To the reader who sent me this:
Are you suggesting that they committed suicide or were killed in plane crashes?

We Reject Trump and His Policies, But What Good Does that Do?
I admire Jamie Raskin, and I completely approve of what he said at left. In particular, we do, the vast majority of us anyway, “reject these authoritarian priorities.”
The problem arises when Trump smirks and asks, “So what are you going to do about it?”
Dictators who have successfully replaced democratic governments have enormous power to bully those who represent a challenge to their authority.
How Hard Can it Be?
In response to the question at left, I would remind this Norwegian fellow that democracies have fallen into dictatorships in countries all over the world since ancient times.
Consider the people of Germany and Italy in the early 20th Century, both of which populations were powerless to depose a ruthless strongman wielding incredible propaganda.
I’m not saying that it’s too late, or that it can’t be done, but it takes a great deal of hard work.
Did Icy Conditions Get a Texas Democrat Elected?
Only a modern-day Republican congressman would have the nerve to say …
And only a Trump supporter would be stupid enough to believe that Democrats are more willing to brave the cold than Republicans.

America’s Looming Dictatorship
We are within a gnat’s ass of becoming a dictatorship.
A full 37% of American voters support this, as do a majority of congressional Republicans.
Hey! We Could Have Trump Rewrite the Constitution! Good Idea?
Sure. Let’s get rid of the entire U.S. Constitution while we’re at it.

Is Trump a Christian?
It should come as no surprise that millions of people believe that Trump is Christian — simply because he says he is.
These are the same people who believe that the 2020 election was stolen, that COVID was planned by the U.S. government, that the Jan. 6th insurrection was an act of love, and that climate change is a hoax perpetrated by corrupt scientists.
Protesting Trump’s Threat to Annex Greenland by Military Force
Solvang is a small town in Central California, population ~5000. It was founded by the Danes in 1911, with architecture styled to look like old-town Copenhagen.
As one might expect, Trump’s threat to seize Greenland has driven local residents, many of whom have Danish ancestry, into a snit. At left is a photo of a recent protest.
Why Does Trump Spread False Gossip?
On Trump’s remarks at left, a reader asks:Why does President Trump lie about (Republican U.S representative) Massie? He claims, “He never votes for us, he always goes with democrats.” That’s not even an exaggeration—it’s a total lie. Fact: Massie has a 77% republican voting record.
He sounds like a gossipy “mean girl,” spreading unattributed rumors, “People are saying…”
Excellent question. I’d also be interested to know why our president spends his time on garbage like this (even if it were true). What’s the problem with doing something that will enhance the lives of the American people?
Lithium Mining
Here’s a solid article on the horrors of the mining of lithium that are used to make our batteries that power everything from our drones to our EVs to our cell phones.
Two questions:
1) Are these horrors any worse than the consequences of the wars, lung disease, and environmental devastation that accompanies powering the world with fossil fuels?
2) Can you think of any possible solution to the energy crisis that won’t be taken over by Big Money and result in the exploitation of millions of human beings?
