Maybe the Epstein Files Will Reveal that Trump Is Guiltless of Statutory Rape. Could Happen.
We all hope the Epstein files are released, though this criminal administration is fighting against it tooth and nail.
Why?
When Science and Religion Began to Pull Apart
There is no definitive answer to the question posed at left.
Most people would say that, in the West, the division started in the 16th Century with Galileo and Copernicus. Then we had Newton 100 years later, followed by Mendeleev (the periodic table) and Linnaeus (the classification of life forms). The early 19th Century saw Michael Faraday figure out electricity and magnetism, and the germ theory of disease that came along much later, in the 1880s.
Obviously, there are still crackpots who disbelieve all of this. Sadly, they are commanding great attention from tens of millions of our country’s idiots and our right-wing politicians whom they elect to represent them.

Putin Wants Ukraine to Succeed?
This seemed like fake news, so I looked it up. Come to find out: it’s true.
I’m so glad I don’t know a single person stupid enough to believe it.

Why Are We Not Mitigating Climate Change?
Yes, but the billionaires will get richer, and that seems to be the only thing that really matters.
Stopping Science in its Tracks
Without doubt, the most effective way to prevent science from revealing the truth about awkward matters that may impede our country’s billionaires from getting richer, e.g., that we’re baking our planet, is to shut down the research centers that employ the people who have been studying this matter since the 1970s.
Today’s Meaning of “Socialism”
Re: the remarks at left, yes, it’s a “generational difference,” but the real issue is that we’re comparing apples to motorcycles.
By definition, Soviet-style totalitarian communism made ownership of private property/enterprise illegal and held the entire starving population in slavery to a totalitarian leader. By contrast, democratic socialism, which forms the governance of the happiest countries on Earth, encourages free enterprise while using government to provide free healthcare and education.
Some people sadly can’t (or don’t want to) see the difference.
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!
