If any one person saved our republic during the 21st century it was Eugene Goodman and I am sure that he hasn’t been thanked enough.

Wasn't it a John Lennon lyric: "War is over oil?" I could be mistaken.

If Trump believed in solar energy he'd try to invade the sun.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

How long will it take MAGA DOJ to understand that there are consequences to not telling the truth? Judges may have to educate them. Then they’ll counter-attack with threats; then not investigate orchestration of the threats. Because it comes back to MAGA.

The President of the United States is a criminal. Thank you for your service, Jack Smith.

Records fall to vegan power at the World Championships: Swedish powerhouse Fia Kamlund has taken on her last competition of the year and recorded more success. 🏋️‍♀️🌱 #veganathletes #plantpower #sportsnews

If the next Democratic president doesn’t abolish ICE then the Dems deserve to lose forever

This pretty much tells you everything you need to know about America.

This is a metaphor for the tech industry overall circa 2025

Phang: If that happened in January, how in the actual hell is Blanche now telling the American people that they suddenly discovered a million more documents? GTFOH. As far back as January, the entirety of the Epstein files were transferred to Main Justice at DOJ…

Mr Cuban, I just wanted to quickly thank you. My husband has XXXX cancer, a rare gastrointestinal cancer. We are between insurance right now and when we went to pick it up we were informed it was $29,000. We were able to get it from CostPlus for $990. Thank you for saving my husband's life.

This is sinister. If you're wondering why so many people don't report sexual assault, this is why.

To whom it may concern. Opinions are not facts.

Boot every one of these lying motherfuckers to the curb.

I’ve always preferred reference hiring over interviews.

Politically, on the national scene, we are in the most obvious coverup in Presidential history.

RIP Raul Malo

Wow — White House Chief of staff Susie Wiles did not hold back. 👀 Start the clock! ⏰ www.nytimes.com/2025/12/16/u...

Fernando Mendoza wins the Heisman Trophy. How long before ICE shows up at his door?

CARVILLE: “.. He’s done. We’ve just got to butter this toast and slice it and eat it. He’s done.”

Nothing but a shit show.

Give us Healthcare and term limits for the Supreme Court.

JFC. The weakening of America continues.

Eileen Higgins blows it out in Miami, wins 59%-40%!!!! In the last 2 years Dems have flipped Florida’s two largest cities, Jacksonville and Miami. Great work everyone! www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/eileen-hig...

45 years ago today.

Now what? See what's new on Netflix.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.” What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.” Funny how that works.

Spot on, Mr. Rather. 🎯 💯

The most transparent administration in history is now hiding both the complete Epstein files and the complete video of the Sept. 2 boat strike from the American people, only releasing the parts of each that they want you to see while concealing the rest.

WOW! AN HONOR! — GCN

@stephruhle.bsky.social Another wonderful Friday night show. I am smarter for it.

Born 5 Dec 1932, genius Little Richard. "Tutti Frutti", 1 of his signature songs, became an instant hit, topping the charts in both the US and the UK. His next single, "Long Tall Sally", hit No. 1 on the Billboard chart, followed by a rapid succession of 15 more in 3 years. #LittleRichard

I removed the earlier Delta Blues post and link because I realized it was AI garbage. I should have verified that before posting. I actually mistook it or something else I was looking for. Anyway, here's some real deal Delta Blues to head us into the weekend. youtu.be/3Zbiloj13s8?...

National Healthcare NOW

Very good article

A few years ago, Bill Nye the science guy debated creationist Ken Ham about evolution. The last question was "what would change your mind?" Bill Nye said "Evidence." Ken Ham said "Nothing can possibly change my mind about this." I think about that a lot.

Keep pushing for National Healthcare. There is no other way most Americans can live a comfortable life. It should not be just for politicians and the rich. Most of us don't fall into that category.

RIP Steve Cropper 🎸

The grifting and money laundering doesn't end. Ron DeSantis is as shady as the guy in DC www.msn.com/en-us/news/u...

These shit eaters are out of control and must be held accountable.

Trump pardons Rep. Henry Cuellar, who faced a federal indictment for taking foreign bribes. Of course he did.

RIP Gwendolyn Brooks, first African American poet to win Pulitzer prize, died this day in 2000. “We are each other's harvest; we are each other's business; we are each other's magnitude and bond.” “Live not for Battles Won. Live not for The-End-of-the-Song. Live in the along.”

No, our forefathers built this country on genocide on the Native American people.

@markhertling.bsky.social: “When you're talking about striking against someone who's wounded and clinging to debris…Deliberately targeting such a person isn't a tactical decision, it's a war crime by the Geneva Convention, the laws of land warfare, and the U.N. Charter.”

If Admiral Bradley didn’t realize before that these cowards were setting him up to take the fall, he knows it now. Time to hire a good lawyer.
