If we don't privatise everything that the people own and award contracts to the company that donates the most to a political party then where do we expect politicians to make money from when their terms end

A year ago, we were leaving Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia after my daughter’s surgery for thyroid cancer.

Feeling pretty thankful this year. Hope you’ve got something to be thankful for too.

If one Afghan nationalist shooter means all Afghan nationalists are evil, wait until I tell you about white male shooters.

If the President doesn’t want to be called a Russian asset, perhaps he should stop acting like a Russian asset.

This Creedence from 1970’s been sounding exponentially prescient for quite a while now

I went down Virginia, seekin’ shelter from the storm
Caught up in the fable
I watched the tower grow
Five Year Plans and New Deals, wrapped in golden chains
And I wonder, still I wonder, who’ll stop the rain?

If Senator Mark Kelly does not win the Democratic Nomination for President he should be the Senate Minority/Majority Leader. He is what a leader looks, talks and acts like….

So I hear tRump granted the Nat Guard shooter legal asylum in 2025. Is this confirmed? Bigly if true.

The death of two NG soldiers in DC is 100% the fault of a convicted felon.

People will die, and are currently dying, because RFK was granted one of the most powerful megaphones in the country. Two people who could have thrown barriers in front of his climb decided not to; there's a sex scandal here but it is not the biggest scandal.

Rich people making laws for rich people. They don’t actually care unless we make them by breaking their economic guard rails.
They could have taxed wealth but instead they've gone for the working class AGAIN and people are thanking them 🤣 country is fucked!

It says a lot about our country that the FBI had no interest in interviewing Brett Kavanaugh but wants to talk to Mark Kelly.

I’m gonna say the shooter was another Trump supporter.

I did say earlier that the distraction was intensifying.

I’m guessing this was another cruel, calculated act by Trump and his stand back and stand by creeps.,

How long will we keep tolerating this madness?

If you’re wondering why there’s a lull in the Epstein files discussion, it’s because the law that just passed gave Pamela Jo 30 days to release the files. So we’re all waiting to see how she tries to sabotage it. The discussion will pick back up in earnest on December 20th.

Marjorie Taylor Greene came into Congress in 2021 worth about $700,000. She leaves five years later worth around $25,000,000. 😳 Congress is just a giant insider-trading scheme.

Gen X was the last generation that had privacy. It does not exist anymore. Data brokers made sure of that.
The author John Green found an audience of millions making YouTube videos with his brother, Hank. As more people aspire to become influencers, Green warns that internet fame may make it feel as if everyone knows and loves you, “but in fact, no one knows you.” www.nytimes.com/2025/11/22/m...

Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone.

Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work.

Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.

The scandal didn’t die with Epstein — it only exposed who else was willing to stand beside him.

Our insurance costs (home, health and auto) have gone up substantially this year. The increase is equivalent to some people's mortgages. I don't know how people are surviving this. Talking a lifetime of frugality being erased by greed.
