The Borg was wrong, resistance is not futile. Captain Picard proved that in science fiction, and it has been proven many times over during the course of mankind. But, it only works when we all get involved. This week, watching what is happening in LA with ICE, the Federalized National Guard, and LAPD police abuse,… Continue reading Resistance is NOT Futile

Courageously Traditional
While in Portland, one of the books I bought was How Democracies Die: What History Reveals About Our Future (Levitsky and Ziblatt). It was so engaging I almost finished it before I even got home. What struck me the most was how wrong I’ve been thinking about how the Democrats have been governing in the… Continue reading Courageously Traditional
People Are Going to Go Through Some Things: Murder
We seem to be entering the next phase of authoritarianism and Facism. In court this week, a lawyer actually stood before a judge and stated the President of the United States essentially has blanket immunity. The only way to stop a President is be impeached in the House and convicted in the Senate. Then, and… Continue reading People Are Going to Go Through Some Things: Murder
Things that Make One Go, “Hmmmm!”
While perusing Facebook earlier today, I saw a post by a Mr. Smith about liberals and the man (the man) in the Oval Office. It appears Trumpists, and supporters of Trumpists, are wanting to have the post go viral by saying the post was going viral. I don’t know if it is or not, but… Continue reading Things that Make One Go, “Hmmmm!”
Some Recent Records in “Making America Great Again”
Here are my observations of some things for which the man in the Oval Office will be known. His name will forever be attached to his legacy of accomplishments during his, hopefully, one term: ➡️ Highest one day drop of value in the stock market in over 40 years ➡️ Highest one day gain in… Continue reading Some Recent Records in “Making America Great Again”
Patriots Punished by Puerile Protagonist
Today’s post is in honor of three people, two who honored the rule of law and answered subpeona’s, and one who unfortunately became collateral damage. Please thank them for their service and for showing how an honorable citizen behaves.

Apathy Be Thy Name and Enemy
Where do you think this protest is taking place? New York? Los Angeles? Chicago? Miami? Columbus? Indianapolis? Don’t we wish! This is a protest, just one day out of month’s long protests in Hong Kong. Their government was trying to take rights away from them and they weren’t having any of it. We have an… Continue reading Apathy Be Thy Name and Enemy
MSM, Take a Lesson
It is quite sad when a member of the press, your peer, is excluded or berated for the simple reason he or she did not bow down to Mr. Trump or one of his lackeys. This has happened not once, not twice, not thrice, but at least four times in recent history. They either lost… Continue reading MSM, Take a Lesson
Time for the Fourth Pillar to Stand-up to Do Right
We are at the point where our Democracy, our Republic, our Country is about to be legally handed over to a tyrant, an authoritarian, a dictator, a Trumpist. The House of Representatives has done its part. Brave witnesses have done their part. Protesters have done a part. Constituents have done their part. Now it is… Continue reading Time for the Fourth Pillar to Stand-up to Do Right
State of the Union Guest Wish List
Democrats seem to finally be standing up to Mr. Trump effectively. It is now time to continue that momentum in exposing Mr. Trump as the fraud he is, and a man with a low level of integrity and morality. I’m not sure how the visitor gallery invites work, but here is my wish list of… Continue reading State of the Union Guest Wish List
