These two shoppers, shown here in a Minnesota Walmart, will be casting their ballots for Trump in November.
I’m not bananas about Biden, but he sure will be getting my vote; I hope yours too.
Btw, if these folks were in a store I owned or managed, I’d say, “Pardon me. This is private property, and I have the right to refuse service to anyone. If you pigs are still here in 60 seconds, I’ll have security remove you, assisted, as required, by the police.”
Seems like a solid approach to me. As we all know, viruses, as well as pathogens of all types, respond very well to right-wing extremism, torrential lies, and the belief system of Evangelical Christians.
The fact you have 415K COVID-19 cases, that you’re adding more that 10K/day, that you’re running out of ICU beds, and your state has a positivity rate of 14% are all immaterial.
Seriously, you’re the Republican governor of Florida. If you don’t follow Trump on key matters like this, those people will feed you to the alligators.
This is exactly the way I’d feel if I lived in Portland.
Shock troops are not welcome here.
Go away.
Here’s a short piece in Newsweek from José Ramos-Horta, former President of Timor-Leste and Nobel Peace Prize laureate.
He begins: White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany recently said, “the world is looking at us as a leader in COVID-19.” She is half right. The rest of the world is indeed looking, not with admiration for U.S. leadership, but with dropped jaws.
What’s going to be required to re-establish the legitimacy of the United States on the world stage is unknown at this point.
Are Americans impressed by hoards of heavily armed, unidentified thugs, using military tactics and weapons to pull people off their cities’ streets? How many of us believe that our local police aren’t up to the task of arresting the very few violent rioters?
It’s hard to imagine that this is going to work in Trump’s favor. (more…)
While there is still time, before speaking or writing a statement critical of the U.S. president becomes illegal, I hope readers will check out the video below, in which former prosecutor Glenn Kirschner lays out six articles of impeachment that Congress should bring against Attorney General Bill Barr.

How many Americans who cast their ballots for Hillary Clinton in 2016 are going to vote for Trump in 2020? 11?
What about those who go the opposite direction, i.e., Trump supporters in 2016 who defect to Biden in 2020? Here’s a two-minute video that explains how it’s possible that these people could number 10+ million.
As shown here, both the Yankees and the Nationals took a knee on Major League Baseball’s opening day. A reader sent me this pic, and commented:
Perhaps it’s time to reassess what this knee business is all about. Taking a knee is a respectful way of acknowledging a fallen comrade. Anyone who has actually served is painfully aware of this gesture of deep respect. It is NOT disrespecting our flag. (more…)
I know I’m not alone in expecting that Trump would try to start a war with another country, as a ploy to gain re-election by making intense and unadulterated chaos rain down on the world. But did it ever occur to anyone that he’d invade our own cities? (more…)
The Hawai‘i State Senate passed a bill that would prohibit the Public Utilities Commission from extending or renewing any contracts to generate energy from coal and phase out the use of coal in Hawai‘i by the end of 2022.
Despite the setbacks associated with the current presidential administration, the U.S. continues to do a fairly decent job in cleaning up its electricity grids, and removing coal is central to the cause.
This decision ensures that Hawai’i will stay on course toward its goal of 100% clean energy at a certain point in the future, accelerated by the fact that the islands enjoy abundant renewable resources.
