Because I'm a cynical bastard I had to check if David Gates is still married to his high school sweetheart. Whaddaya know ... they'll celebrate their 67th anniversary this year. #AT40

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective. He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

"If a US role were to be confirmed, the strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of conflicts in the Middle East." And yet ... the US media looks away and Jeebus freaks quietly rejoice at the slaughter or non-Christians. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

From today's Sydney Morning Herald.

"...Trump tonight went far beyond what even the most self-indulgent presidents would have envisioned. Beset by scandal, facing multiple defeats in America’s courts & hitting levels of unpopularity that would make Richard Nixon nod with empathy, he turned the SOTU into a vulgar, populist carnival."

SEN. KAINE: “You said American whites are victims of a cultural genocide… are they represented in the senate? House? Presidency? CEO’s?” Trump’s white nationalist pick for a top state department spot Jeremy Carl skewered by @kaine.senate.gov

NEW: This was the last essay I was supposed to publish at the Washington Post. But they fired me. I'm publishing it anyway-- about my family's connection to a sword the British looted from Ghana in 1874. If youve ever wondered why I love swords, here's why. open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...

Tomorrow, if you don't agree to terms, the bridge will be bombed on the orders of Secretary Hegseth. Any survivors in the water will be strafed. And then the Chinese are going to come for the syrup and you rubes will be left putting soy sauce on your flapjacks. The mad King of America speaketh.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

In a North Knoxville neighbourhood besieged by failed businesses pushing booze comes a bar called The Black Dog. Huh, you might think, do the ingenious proprietors know that 'black dog' is another term for depression? Glad you asked.

I'm hoping President Michelle Obama sends heavily armed federal troops into the backwoods of southern states in search of traitors flying confederate flags on private property. I mean, what's more unAmerican than siding with an army that declared war on this country? DEPORT THEIR SEDITIOUS ASSES.

Pour one out for every professional political pundit, writer, consultant whatever that has spent the last decade trying to pretend that the Trump phenomenon was about trade or opiates and not a big chunk of white america losing its mind over having a black president bsky.app/profile/kyle...

Next time a conservative friend or family member uses the term 'liberal media', be sure to mention how the Amazon billionaire who owns WaPo threw $40 million at Trump for a vanity 'film' about his former-model (cough cough) wife before gutting one of the world's most prestigious newspapers.

No. Commonsense reform is to burn ICE to the waterline and scatter the rubble so that all of us who value a constitutional republic with a Bill of Rights can prevent such a monstrosity from ever being constructed again. And nothing above is hyperbole. God, but you are not a leader for this time.

“What an obscenity to hear this woman employ the language of shared humanity, as the Trump administration kills Americans and systematically kidnaps immigrants and their kids.”

Figured I’d wait and see if this week’s #AT40 provoked me to post personal news. The Randy Bachman anecdote did it, as my mother battled a lifelong stammer. She passed away on Thursday. I’ve mentioned the dementia that struck her down but she forged a life entirely her own. Vale Diane Joan Vessel.

Going through old Australia photos turned up this shot of the road sign north of Melbourne that inspired the name Little River Band. Yes, I'm a geek. #AT40
