I stand with the US Constitution & the First Amendment I stand with Jimmy Kimmel

I’m no fan of John Bolton, but he has been outspoken about #45/47, so today’s vengeful FBI raid was predictable. Remember him whining during campaign rallies, “I will be your retribution”? Donald has an enemies list. Today’s target is John Bolton.

The International Court of Justice ruled that nations have an obligation to act on climate change under international laws protecting the environment and human rights.

God bless America! We are NOT ok.

The unstable genius in the White House is finally snookered by Netanyahu into war with Iran after just announcing the US would continue negotiations to give Iran 2 weeks before making a decision. Another war in the Middle East. For how many decades this time?

Where is the free speech brigade now?

An unqualified former Fox host, accused in an affidavit of being "abusive" toward his second wife, of being perpetually drunk, and allegedly screaming "Kill all Muslims! Kill all Muslims!" just got confirmed as the US Defense Secretary (!) by a tie-break vote in the Senate.

As an ex prosecutor I’m most disturbed by Trump’s utilization of social media to intimidate witnesses against him. This should be yet another criminal charge of interference in a criminal investigation. This is the most troubling aspect of Jack Smith’s report. See attached.

Wildfires have a history of causing problems with the drinking water systems. In some affected areas around LA, officials are warning residents not to drink from the tap or even to shower.

Not really surprised. Wonder what happened to campaign promises of lower grocery & gas prices?? Guess that’s no longer a priority for the GOP. Who’s sorry now?

Vivid images of the devastation across the scorched earth of Cali are heartbreaking. My thoughts are with the displaced people and all living creatures whose lives have been disrupted beyond belief in this tragedy. For those feel helpless but want to help, please consider donating to the Red Cross.

Justice Samuel Alito spoke with Donald Trump shortly before Trump’s lawyers asked the Supreme Court to delay his hush-money sentencing.

Sounds fair to me!
