This reminds me of the conversation I’ve had with dozens of people since Trump took office:
Someone: The Democrats need a better platform than “We’re not Trump.”
Me: I’m not so sure. When your house is on fire, you get everyone out and then call the fire department. You don’t remodel the kitchen.
At left is another good reason to indict Trump.
This needs to happen in order for us to preserve rule of law, but it’s also required if we’re to walk away with any level of dignity on the world stage.
Based on the meme here, and what we already know, why on Earth did Walker agree to debate Warnock?
If you know you’re dramatically inferior to an opponent in a certain arena, why not stay a million miles away from it?
I’m reminded of trying out for the high school golf team, and my longer-hitting opponent suggested that we play from the back tees. Ahhhh….no.
Herschel: Call in with a sore throat.
This is good, but, as I was explaining to someone the other day, it’s not sustainable if it’s not profitable.
It’s very difficult to imagine how this product line can be cost-competitive in the absence of a huge tax on plastic.
My wife and I are up here in North Dakota visiting our daughter, and getting a feel for the local customs. From a dietary perspective, things are pretty much what one would expect: lots of meat, scarce vegetables and fish.
The politics is deep red. Republican John Hoeven is running for another term in the U.S. Senate on the basis that he “pushed back against the Biden administration’s call for vaccine mandates.”
As if this makes him special. Anyone supporting science, as it applies to things like pandemic control, climate change mitigation, abortion, or anything else of consequence, would be run out of here on a rail.
I note that Hoeven’s ads don’t mention Trump. Good idea. For the first time since 2015, Trump has extremely negative approval ratings, even among many Republicans. Why take a chance associating yourself with a criminal conman when being anti-Biden is just as good, and completely noncontroversial?
This, btw, is indicative of precisely how the GOP will deal with Trump over the coming months. There will be no admission that the former president was a person of zero personal integrity; at a certain point, he will be ignored, in the hopes that the American people will forget that he ever existed.
I know the meme here has a great appeal to certain people, but think about it for a moment.
Because we live in a civilized society, sane people gladly give up dozens of their freedoms to make all this possible. We place limits on our driving, we pay taxes, we vaccinate our kids (unless we’re home-schooling them), we go through TSA screening when we fly, etc.
During WW II, Londoners turned off their lights at night, to make it difficult for the Germans to bomb their city. Guess what? When the war was over, they got their “right” to turn on their lights back.
Decent people place many different limitations on their “freedoms” so as to make life better for all those around them–in our world today, and in the future. We recycle, curtail our use of plastic water bottles, and boycott enterprises that mistreat their employees.

Remarkably, some high-level Republicans believe that abortion bans are not harmful for GOP politics.
Let’s begin with a fact: The vast majority of Americans support a woman’s right to choose abortion in all or most circumstances, and, obviously, women are more adamant in their opinions than men. (more…)
Trump’s embrace of QAnon and its myriad conspiracy theories is raising some eyebrows, even with the pure insanity of today’s Republican party.
From this:
Donald Trump has come under fire for his descent into the QAnon conspiracy theory movement during his Youngstown, Ohio rally in support of Republican Senate candidate JD Vance. (more…)
The movie “In Search of Liberty” was created by two filmmakers who believe that the U.S. Constitution is under attack, not by a former president who attempted to overthrow the government, but by the radical left. Its screenwriter, Tom Solari, writes:
A recent study from the Pew Research Center found that Christianity in America as a percentage of the total population is falling precipitously and could eventually vanish.
I would submit the following:
“Vanish” is a big word. The graph definitely shows a steady reduction of the percentage value but projects a decelerating rate. (more…)
