I write my own erotic fiction. I have never used AI in my writing.and never will. Masochistic women fascinate me, but I'm not interested in sadistic men. I'm old, married, and monogamous. But on the plus side, I spent a long time in university.
Public education began in America because Christians wanted their children to be able to read the Bible.
Evangelical Christians want to end public education in America because they don't want their children to read what the Bible says about peace, love, and charity.

I never cease being shocked that so many members of the Trump administration answer obvious questions by claiming to be too stupid, incompetent, and lazy to know anything about the administration's criminal actions that make headlines.
Not one of these clowns would last a day in a real job.

American presidents love going to war.
Americans don't.
The Constitution gives Congress the sole power to declare war.
Congressmen, heeding voters, don't like to declare war.
Since Lincoln, presidents have schemed to start wars without congressional approval.
It's happening again, right now.

I've watched America lie it's way into wars my whole adult life. Viet Nam did not attack an American destroyer in the Gulf of Tonkin.
Iraq did not have weapons of mass destruction and was not building nuclear weapons.
And today, small boats are not attacking Americans off the shore of Venezuela.

The JAG (Judge Advocate General) corps advises the Secretary of Defense and everyone in the military how not to be convicted of murder.
Hegseth has ranted about hating JAG for years, so as soon as he became Sec Def he gutted it.
So who will keep him from being convicted of murder now?
Nobody.

Any Supreme Court Justice who says, “Yes, sir, Mr. President. You’re the boss,” is an anti-American traitor.

What's with Trump blowing up Venezuelan boats, claiming they are drug smugglers but giving a pardon to the Honduran ex-President who was proven to be a drug smuggling kingpin?
Simple: It's not about drug smuggling. It's Trump's excuse for killing poor people.
Trump loves killing poor people.

If you're in a windowless office with a black marker and a paper shredder, removing Trump's name from the Epstein Files, I got a question: Why are you destroying evidence of sex crimes?
You better have a good answer because someday, you're going to be on trial and a jury will be waiting to hear it.

Trump calls it a "peace plan for Ukraine". Don't be gaslit. It's terms of surrender that Putin dictated to Witkoff to pass on to Trump.
Why in hell dose anyone expect Ukraine to surrender to Putin?
And why in hell is the President of the United States serving as Putin's messenger boy?

The Supreme Court said the President is immune from prosecution for crimes because it's Congress's job to impeach and convict a president who commits crimes.
Trump's crimes are numerous and manifest, so when is Congress going to do its job?
If it won't we need to elect a Congress that will.

Conservatives who tell you capitalism rewards people for hard work are lying.
Look around.
The idle rich who inherited their wealth keep getting richer.
The working stiffs who create the nation’s wealth keep getting an ever shrinking share.
That’s not how it’s supposed to work.

The romantic myth that the leader of a pack is displaced when the second most powerful member challenges him to single combat is wrong. Typically, the whole pack gangs up on him.
Same with nations. The US may dominate other nations individually, but it can't take on all of them at the same time.

The key to understanding Democrats' politics:
Old establishment Democrats were elected in blue districts. They aren't going to lose their seat to a Republican in the general election. They're going to lose to a young, progressive Democrat in the primary. Mamdani, not Trump, scares them shitless

People who think that running a large corporation is dauntingly complex also think that running the government is simple and obvious.
They're wrong.
A successful government has to understand how different industries all over the world work. Not just one of them. All of them.

People understand that they can't harvest a crop if they don't know the difference between a harrow and a combine.
Yet they think that appointing loudmouths who don't know how the government works to powerful position will make America great.

Never forget that Republicans were outraged by the Jan 6 insurrection when it happened. Then they got over it and embraced denial. Expect the same hypocrisy when the Epstein files are released. I bet MAGA will be furious for less than a month.before deciding that child rape is no big deal.
