My happy place: Beside a clear stream in the forest with a dry tent and a small fire close by: The best place to clear the mind, cleanse the soul and watch curious forest creatures examine the strange 2-legger who has come to visit. I Block The Annoying.
The depths to which the US has sunk will be defined by the responses to these killings. Not by the killings themselves, but by the political spin put on them by those who care less about the deaths than about the points that can be scored.

A "catch phrase" isn't false or misleading. It's simply a convenient way to describe a commonly encountered experience.

"President Donald Trump was at his West Palm Beach golf course when the shooting took place."

Well of course he was. Where else would you expect the President of the United States to be? Behind a desk, doing "work"??

xenophobia (noun) - dislike of or prejudice against people from other countries.

The USofA is among the world leaders in "ism's" and "phobias". The general tone can change, depending on who is in the White House and Congress, but eventually, the same problems return.

Too late. January 23 is already National Pie Day. And I'm not kidding.

It's sponsored by the American Pie Council. And I'm still not kidding.

Obviously, it wasn't obvious to you when you posted your snarky comment. Go away.

It has been pointed out repeatedly in opinion columns/op eds. Like too many people, you confuse news with opinion, and his swearing-in is not news.

As a con man, Donald doesn't have friends or enemies. They are all "marks" to be fleeced by his brilliant schemes.

That comment was specifically comparing today to the pandemic years when inflation and unemployment were higher than today.

According to my extensive research, the "no good movies anymore thing" first emerged in 1916, one year after the release of "Birth of a Nation".

It's so absurd that I have to believe it won't be prosecuted at all. The goal, I think, is to cause fear and confusion among those who might speak out against the Trump Regime or refuse to carry out an illegal order.

At 14, Polly Poilievre was attending local Conservative Party meeting as a "hobby".

At 14, my hobby was hanging around girls, trying to convince them that I was cool enough to be seen with.

I think my hobby was more interesting.

The only thing the Biden administration could have done is travel back in time and eliminate all the ancestors of the 77 million who voted for Trump and the 90 million + who didn't bother to vote at all.

Anything else would have been "tinkering" with the end result.

Who is she? She's a bimbo. That's why she got a job in the Trump organization. What did people expect? Trump would choose a woman based on knowledge, skills and experience? Gimme a break.

I have a vision of Mark Kelly facing a court martial and being asked:
"Did you tell American troops that they must obey the law?"
"Yes sir, I did."
"Thank you Captain. Case dismissed."

Better:

"FBI Investigating Democratic Senators for
Urging Troops Not to Break the Law"

That's the sort of trap I would set for Donald and the GOP if someone hired me as Editor ... 🤪

And the reason they left Quebec was frustration over being ordered to call themselves "Mammouth Laineux".

For those who aren't familiar with the BC coast - this photo on the central coast shows what will be put at serious risk if the tanker ban is removed. It cannot be allowed, period.

Do you have links to 5 articles from credible news organizations that "hype this person"? I'm not seeing it.

sleight of hand (noun) - the deceiving of someone in a skillful way; skill in deceiving or confusing onlookers.
November 25, 2025 at 2:48 PM
This is all explained in my forthcoming book, which I am currently thinking about writing when I find the time, called "The Weakening".

I don't expect a glowing review from El Presidente.
