What Concerns U.S. Voters
From what we see at left, are we to infer that voters are OK with the fact that Trump is turning this country into a lawless, authoritarian state?
FWIW, I don’t believe that.
As a Christian, Are You into the Biblical Jesus or the Republican Jesus?
Most of the full-on Christians I know are politically conservative, though I doubt a single one takes it to the extreme shown at left.
Assessing Leavitt’s and Rubio’s Performance
Considering that their only real job is protecting and defending Trump, I’d given them high marks.
If you have a broader set of criteria, e.g., protecting and defending the Constitution, they’re both abominable.
Assault Rifles in America
The answer to the question becomes obvious when one considers what we’ve become as a country, which, in a couple of words, is hateful and ignorant.
How much intelligence do you expect from a population that re-elected a convicted felon who then immediately had 60+ other felony charges against himself dropped?
Why No High-Speed Rail in America
This country has a great deal of woes, and our lack of modern railroads is somewhere among them. Having said that, I think we need to resign ourselves to the fact that this will never get fixed. The financial (and thus political) strength of the airline industry is too massive. The cost of all the easements that would be required is astronomical. Communist countries don’t have these problems.
Besides, the United States is in the process of becoming an authoritarian regime. Establishing high-speed rail would be like re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

Understanding Sanctuary Cities
Shortly before my mother passed away, she and I were talking about sanctuary cities. She had lived the last decade or so of her life on a steady diet of Fox News, and so when I asked her to tell me what the term actually meant, she regurgitated what she had been told, i.e., it’s a place where an illegal immigrant who has committed a crime can go and hide without fear that the police can follow and arrest them.
In fact, sanctuary cities are those that limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities. Police typically do not ask about immigration status, refuse to honor federal detainer requests for non-serious offenses, and do not allow local resources to be used for immigration enforcement.
This is not about liberalism or compassion; it’s about common sense effective policing. The belief here, and it’s proven to be true, is that if undocumented immigrants trust law enforcement personnel, they can be instrumental in helping the police solve crimes, by providing vital information as witnesses.
Deporting Innocent Congresspeople Who Don’t Support Trump
Sure! Shouldn’t the U.S president, a convicted felon, be allowed to deport an innocent congressperson because she doesn’t support him? Isn’t this the American way?
If this were happening in Russia, Putin would have her tortured and executed. Why can’t Trump do the same?
Trump Wants Elections Where People Can’t Cheat???
Isn’t this the guy who tried to overthrow the U.S. federal government in 2021?
And there are still people in America who believe this garbage?
What happened to the United States? Didn’t these people used to be at least somewhat smart?
A Loss for Environmentalists, Yes — But More Importantly, for Humanity as a Whole
The guy who sent me this writes, “A Loss for the (Climate) Alarmists!”
A loss for climate alarmists? LOL. It’s a loss for all humanity.
But let’s be real. This is the only thing in which Trump succeeds: ruining good things for his own enrichment.
And that can mean a great numbers of things: the Kennedy Center, the city of Minneapolis, our scientific institutions, our greatest universities, our rejection of cruelty, our opposition to dictators, the future of Greenland, the lives of immigrants who have been living, working, and paying taxes here for decades, public education, protection from formerly wiped-out diseases, and America’s relationship with its allies — for starters.
It’s the only thing we do well as a nation now: destroying the best things that the U.S. has developed throughout the centuries, so that Trump can maintain power.

Murders Committed by ICE Agents Are Acceptable, According to What We See Here
The reader who sent me this writes:
Don’t worry conservatives outnumber commie libtards 20 to 1 and we support ice.
You seem to be comparing ordinary crime with routine extra-judicial killings by the U.S. government, and you appear to reject the idea of prosecuting coldblooded murderers if they’re employed by the Trump administration.
Btw, it’s not just “liberals” who want rule of law returned to the United States; it’s everyone but the most morally depraved.
Sorry. Not impressed with your thinking here.
