The president is about to start a war for no real reason. All of the things he has blamed on the country he’s targeting — fentanyl distribution, “emptying the asylums” and sending patients to the U.S., alignment with Tren de Aragua— are provably, obviously false.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

Merle Travis was born on this date in 1917. A VERY influential guitarist, Travis picking technique, named for him, is a syncopated style of fingerpicking rooted in ragtime in which alternating chords and bass notes are plucked by the thumb, while melodies are plucked by the index finger.

TV "news": Why do you air so many non-stories? The malls are busy on Black Friday. People buy a lot of stuff on line as it gets close to Christmas. People line up to buy lottery tickets when the prize gets big. That's not news to anyone. Perhaps the real purpose is to help hype these things?

"President In Cognitive Decline" is a headline that could have run in any of the past 100+ months. Why do we even have the 25th Amendment if we're not going to use it?
