Today would have been my Mom’s 75th birthday. Unfortunately the world lost her 11 years ago. Paulette Rosemarie Lowe-Willis touched thousands of lives but none more than me, who she called “the one pickney that God bless me with.” I love you Mom, forever.

Been watching our buddy Nori the Shih Tzu this past week. Contrary to rumors he is not a mop, wookie or little gremlin. He is an adorable fuzzball. Kal bosses him around even though he’s bigger than Kal.

The Iran war has the least public support of any US war since polling existed. Widely opposed before any impact on gas prices. It sucks that lying like this is such a successful path to online clout. Proponents don’t seem to realize it, but it cultivates a cynical despair that helps the fascists.

Fox News freaks over Democrats’ ‘revenge agenda’
Faced with the prospect of Republicans losing power in the midterm elections, Fox News is attempting to rally its viewers by fearmongering about Democrats following a “revenge agenda” if they win.

This is the perennial GOP strategy: 1. We must cut these programs, the deficit is out of control! 2. Now we're at war, we must pay for the war! 3. But now the deficit is out of control again, and we must fund the war effort, don't you love the troops? We must cut domestic spending.

One Trump-allied company controlling more than 60% of local TV news in your city means: - Trump could have more influence over what you watch - Your prices could skyrocket - You could have fewer choices But state AGs are fighting this, and I'm with them. We've got to stop this.

Fox News isn’t bothering to sell the staggering cost of the ill-conceived war President Donald Trump launched against Iran, spending about 11 minutes on the $200 billion price tag -- less than 1 minute in prime-time.

The right apparently thinks that the people serve the government. So-called "centrists" seem to think the people serve corporate interests. And progressives understand that in our society, both government and corporations were created to serve the interests of the people.

Trump makes an incredibly crude, ignorant, insulting, and racist "joke" about Japan, with the prime minister of Japan sitting next to him. Guess where this is framed as "the latest example of Mr. Trump's penchant for tossing aside diplomatic norms."

regardless how old they are, what's wrong with democrats is temperament, perception, belief - most of them are STILL talking about "compromise" and "bipartisanship" when what we need is people who look at republicans and see only one thing: enemies that must be defeated by any means necessary.
