Working to bring about a technological solution to the bad debate problem. Traditional formats for fundamental reasons don't meet the common sense requirements for a great debate. Demagogues often win. The Big Lie lives.

Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

![I am not a Know-Nothing. That is certain. How could I be? How can any one who abhors the oppression of negroes, be in favor or degrading classes of white people? Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation, we began by declaring that "all men are created equal." We now practically read it "all men are created equal, except negroes" When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read "all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics." When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty -- to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocracy [sic].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:egd33s7iuqsmwlwab6mbtrqi/bafkreiaaicjid4jg3oongeah73ukqvwsqv4vwbp75q4f755nldtcfermhi@jpeg)

'On The Origin Of Species', a book that changed the world forever, was published #onthisday, 1859. Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, contained within, didn’t just revolutionise science, it had a profound impact on how we view ourselves and our place in the natural world. What a wonderful man.

One thing that is not getting enough attention is that Trump has normalized the idea of the United States supporting the transfer of territory and millions of people from a democracy to a dictatorship.
The ending of freedom for millions is now the official US position.

Speaking through "prophetess" Kat Kerr, God declared that "no one will be able to impeach Trump": "I have appointed him, anointed him. He is my president for America and will be so until I am finished with his assignment!"

Republicans are treating this like it's some kind of treason. Nothing is being said here that wasn't taught to me as a US Army officer, as a core and standard part of my training.

Mercy Otis Warren was a fraudster! She left Thomas Paine out of her 3-volume 1805 "history" of the American Revolution except in the appendix where she wrote that infidels like Paine, Voltaire and Gibbon would be "forgotten," & "cease to be admired by the real friends of the Christian dispensation."

Many followed her example and wrote Paine out of history or minimized his contribution! Burns et al created a false impression about independence desire in '75 such as leaving out context from quotes or even quoting Adams from a June 6, 1776 letter when the period was supposed to be up to May 1775!

It's sad that 65 years after the publication of this image, the ideas of George Lincoln Rockwell are having a moment, while the ethos of Norman Rockwell is being openly derided by millions.
65 years ago on Nov. 14, little Ruby Bridges was escorted into an all-white elementary school in New Orleans. Norman Rockwell, renowned for blissful depictions of Americana, did this remarkable painting for Look magazine. Printed as a double page, over-size spread, it's his masterpiece.

Thomas Paine tried to free people from such mental torture with his Age of Reason. As a reward, he was labeled an infidel,and few Americans are aware that Paine's Common Sense was THE public call for king-free independence! The Battle of Concord was not about independence! They wanted reconciliation

Why did the nation that used Christianity to justify slavery, ethnic cleansing of indigenous populations, racial segregation, homophobia and preemptive war elect a dumb racist crook who's the opposite of everything Jesus taught?
Is that the question?

The real question we need to ask ourselves as a nation is, WHY did so many people vote for this in the first place? Trump is the symptom. Not the problem.
Who would've guessed that "the Mark of the Beast" would wind up being just a clot of cheap spray-tan goo.
