Can these “men of God” be any less Christian? What would Jesus do? Who would Jesus execute?

These are not political issues. These are moral questions of honesty, integrity, and respect. These are issues worth fighting for. I can bend when we talk about tax policy, but not when you treat others as less than you. We fought a war over that, and I would again.

Pete Hegseth is still that twelve-year-old boy his parents were too scared of to make him get the therapy he badly needed. His sick conflation of sex, masculinity and violence makes him not only a danger to the women in his life, but in the job he’s so unqualified to hold, everyone on earth.

Trump’s mental decline includes losing his ability to hide his worst behaviors, kind of like when we’d find my post-stroke father naked and masturbating in the family room.

President Dunning-Kruger is too stupid to know how stupid he sounds when he learns new words and needs to show off.

Breaking News! Code UFB!!! For the first time in recorded history, the Niño 3.4 sea-surface temperature (SST) is above 30.0°C, reaching a preliminary SST of 30.06°C on October 5th. The Niño 3.4 SST anomaly is now 3.41°C above the 1991-2020 baseline. Everything is not fine.

Like Dr. Fauci, the Right hates people like Smith who show both competence and morality. They don’t understand people who do things for moral reasons.

I’ll bet the Republicans planned the entire day around Eric Schmidt’s “bombshell” that would expose Jack Smith as a lying, partisan fraud. Once again the Republicans outed themselves as frauds themselves, along with being stupid and incompetent.

Real leaders tend to lose all respect for you when you out yourself proudly as a childish, petty asshole. Chi has to be thinking, “This guy’s a fucking infant. I think I’ll take Taiwan next week.”

Anything this popular would get a vote quickly, except that the Republicans are lying. If they can’t push back on Trump about “Super intelligence,” they’re not going to vote to ruin his life and send him to prison.

The 2030s will include the worst famine the human race has ever seen. All the signs are here for those choosing to look, but big money won’t act until it’s far too late. We know this for certain because it’s far too late now.

The good news is bad food is still being caught. But the incompetent regulatory oversight isn’t catching it until it’s being sold to consumers. This is hugely more expensive and hugely more dangerous than a properly regulated food industry. It’s also idiotic.

Trump is losing his ability to understand basic logic. He enjoyed the satisfaction of expelling press he doesn’t like but couldn’t play the tape forward to see the consequences of his own act. Do the people around him understand how fucking dangerous this is? Do we?

This isn’t a fringe position. Racism doesn’t become unacceptable because its victims oppose it. Racism becomes unacceptable when white people oppose it.

How about that? Being woke actually means caring about others. Shouldn’t we want that in our representatives? Instead, Republicans vote for people who are proud to give their money to the rich and make their lives worse.

If this group said that about the GOP they’d clearly be in cells. This isn’t a hard call. Why are they not? Shame on the powers that be in New Hampshire.

We’re watching the tipping point right now. And there won’t be political will to act on Climate Change until many people die and middle and upper class lives feel the pain in their lives. And it won’t be us, or them, that finally act. It will be our children and grandchildren.

The 2026 Atlantic hurricane season has broken a 60-year record for the latest start to hurricane formation since satellite tracking began in 1966. This unprecedented quiet period is primarily driven by a very strong El Niño producing high wind shear that prevents Atlantic storms from organizing.

Continuing its voyage into uncharted waters, the latest preliminary Nino 3.4 sea-surface temperature anomaly is now at a record 3.08°C above the 1991-2020 baseline. Models expect the Nino 3.4 anomaly to continue rising into at least mid-November. Then there will be dragons.

I’m reminded of Ned Beaty’s corporate executive in the film Network, before having Peter Finch’s character killed live on the air for stating the truth in this video: “You are meddling with the forces of nature, Mr. Beale, and you will atone!”

What does a sniper position at Memorial Circle actually defend against? Not China. Not a submarine. Not a missile. It overlooks a bridge, a traffic circle, and the front door of the National Mall. Those are places where Americans march. www.jackhopkinsnow.com
