It is hard to be in the holiday spirit when the love of my life, the country I served for 25 years, is being raped daily.

“But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”

There is one accomplishment that we can attribute to President Trump. The F-bomb is now a firecracker, and a small one at that. Your maiden aunt now wears a “F*** Trump” t-shirt. As a sailor, I appreciate the elevation of my favorite adjective.

The Kennedy Center was established as a memorial for President John F. Kennedy. Mr. President Trump, you are no Jack Kennedy!

Too funny

I greeve for Australia, but their gun laws are not the problem.

Making a list, checking it twice.

Breaking: The U.S. labor market lost 41,000 jobs over October and November, and the unemployment rate ticked up to 4.6% — the highest since 2021.

Last night I watched a movie about a very popular ruler who was not only incompetent but also insulted everyone he met. His insults finally led to war. No, not a contemporary movie, but Duck Soup (1933). What was absurd then is now reality.

Still in a state of shock trying to process the tragic loss of one of the most gifted men in the entertainment industry & his wife when the Embarrassment-in-Chief disgraces common human decency with this repulsive, deranged statement. #NoWords 🤮

I am a middle-roader who suddenly became a radical leftist without changing an opinion.

For all of my adult life, I have been a proud American. Now I am an American.

Headline in the Washington Post this morning: "Trump has pardoned, commuted nearly 100 people for drug crimes"

Life in the US today.

Well, the supreme leader's birthday is important, isn't it? National Parks Now Prioritize Trump's Birthday politicalwire.com/2025/12/05/n...

Question: Is it fair to associate the Trump administration with the nazis?

just the Christmas gift for you MAGA relative:

Hegseth is a disaster. He is trying to be as good as Hermann Göring, but failing.

Reposting this everyday until Pete Hagueseth faces justice for his crimes against humanity.

He is probably not the only one.

There is a commander in the Caribbean who is guilty of either a war crime or murder. He or she was following orders. Those who issued those orders, will probably be pardoned, but the person who gave the “double tap” order being down the food chain will probably be hung.

A lot of assumptions have been made about the shooting of the two National Guardsmen, based on pure conjecture, and policies implemented on that conjecture. I urge that we wait to find out what really happened, then implement policy based on reality.

I am reminded of those romance movies where the heroine finally dumps her asshole boyfriend. I hope Canada finds her true love; she deserves it. Canada Says Close Relationship With U.S. ‘Has Ended’  politicalwire.com/2025/11/28/c...

May your Thanksgiving Day be filled with joy and remembrance of the blessings you have received the over past year.

Yeah, lets go after the vets

Mike Johnson and the Republicans are so afraid of losing, they are losing.

She doesn’t even try to hide that she’s a spokesperson for Putin serving in the US Congress. Post after post, day after day, echoing Russian propaganda. Truly sad that people in Pinellas County have chosen this as their representation.

My daughter-in-law is a nurse practitioner. Since the majority of nurses are women, of course, they are not professional. nurse.org/news/nursing...

Headline n Washington Post today: U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols.

As an old history major, I have been a news junkie all my life. Now I have to force myself, as it is like watching a slasher movie without the thrill.

The Bill to Release the Epstein files is on its way to the White House. Donald Trump has said he'll sign it, and you can count on him to do so. After all, he is a man of impeccable integrity who would never go back on his word.

President Trump is owin favor of releasing the Epstein files. The bill forces DOJ to release the files. If he is now in favor, why doesn’t he just order Pam Bondi to release them. Why wait for the bill to move through Congress.

Like a canary in a coal mine, this rat knows the ship is sinking and has scurried down the hawser. The other rats will catch on soon,

This is cool. COURIER has created a searchable database with all 20,000 of the files just released from Epstein’s estate. Trump's name appears in them more than anyone else, in 1,628 documents. couriernewsroom.com/news/we-crea...

The British press doesn’t mince words. 🇬🇧

The emails released clearly show President Trump knew about the sex trafficking, but do not conclusively show that he was involved in it. The question is, if you know of sex trafficking, but do not report it, can you go to jail? I am not a lawyer, but my belief is that the answer is yes.

I just wrote my congressman the following: Now that the discharge petition has enough signatures. As I see it, you have two choices: 1. Vote yes for the release, and support justice for the victims 2. Vote no for the release and protect pedophiles. This should be the simplest vote you ever cast.
