Happy Father's Day to Fred Trump, who wishes he'd used a condom.

Watching a pet cross the Rainbow Bridge is difficult enough. But being the one who opens the gate to the bridge is worse. www.irishexaminer.com/news/spotlig...

I'm sure that this adventurism in Iran will lower the price of gasoline.

Operation Epstein Deflection.

With the Kennedy Center renaming, the 250th Anniversary commemorative coin, and the new battleship class, why not just replace the Statue of Liberty with a statue of our Dear Leader?

About a week ago, I predicted that the shutdown would end when it started affecting air traffic out of DCA. In other words, when it started affecting the politicos who had the power to end it. Call me Nostrodamus.

Once we had Murrow and Cronkite and others who gave us truthful news. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDVp...

We promise to give you food, but only if you let us take away your health care, first.

I'm patting myself on the back for cancelling my subscription to the Washington Post. Democracy may die in darkness, but Bezos is killing it in daylight.

I want the full FBI report on Jeffrey Epstein — including all evidence collected over many years, along with his client list — released because I’m not in any of it. Pass it on.

Many of us Boomers have friends who contracted polio before the good work of Drs. Sabin and Salk reduced the risk to almost zero. We don't need convincing. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/14/h...

@radiofreetom.bsky.social I appreciate your commentary.

In five years after removing fluoride from the water, 8% more U.S. children ages 0-19 would get cavities, affecting 25.4 million additional teeth and costing the country around $9.8 billion. www.statnews.com/2025/05/30/f...

Where are Walter Cronkite and Ed Murrow now that we need them the most? www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDVp...

Cutting Medicaid and Medicare will increase mortality. We could also forbid insulin prescriptions for people aged 70 and above--to the same end. Pausing publication of MMWR would disguise these effects. These actions would help relieve pressure on the Social security trust fund.

The federal estate tax is the closest thing to a wealth tax that we're likely to see for a while. It needs to stay and, as scheduled, reset to a $5 million exemption.

Sigh. My state. religiondispatches.org/what-the-hel...

Dear Senator McConnell, You and I have seldom seen eye to eye, but I believe you have wanted to do right by our country. There's one more thing you can do for it while you are still Kentucky's senior senator. It's probably the most valuable thing you can do for it: Resign.

Present-day "Efficiency," much like "Christianity," has nothing to do with the definition of the word.

Happy VD today to all the incels.

Breaking News: Bureau of Labor Statistics website taken down and employees ordered not to communicate with public after report of increased inflation. Trump reportedly outraged because "their numbers make me look bad."

I'm awaiting our Reichstag event that will justify martial law throughout the country. Will someone off one of Elon's pimply-faced thugs, or will he just get the 3 percenters to stage some false flag event?

As is my wont, I celebrate the New Year along with the good people in Gander. May the new year not be as dystopian as predicted. However, an acquaintance in the bank failure business expects increased travel in the coming year.

It also makes it harder for them to ban books.

Young'uns in the neighborhood think I'm Santa, as I sported a full snowy beard a couple of years back. They visit in late autumn and leave notes regarding wanted Christmas swag. One requested a Donald Trump Lego set this year. I didn't have the heart to tell him we were, uh, out of stock on the kit

Happy birthday to Mormon church founder Joseph Smith, Jr. for those who celebrate.

Something inoffensive to most, I hope: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ojS...

Shortly, we will see how the Second Law of Thermodynamics applies to governmental functions.

We are plagued with pseudo science and pseudo Christianity.

As I have somehow surpassed 7k followers on here I thought it might be nice to do a giveaway: All 7 of my books to one lovely winner. Just share and like to be in with a chance! 😁📚

My spatchcocked turkey, with a miso dry rub, was as good this year as last year's overcooked dryness was regrettable. No squabbles at table. A good time was had by all. I wish all of you the same.

The article mentions that the 1918 flu was one cause of the rise of fascism in Europe. We won't have to worry about that with H5N1: fascism is already here. www.the-sentinel-intelligence.net/everything-t...
