When it comes to these two men, I've asked two questions of those on the right many times, & each time, NONE of them have been able to offer a rational, accurate, or logical answer. Not one. These are the two questions: First, tell me how Barack Obama's behavior or policies exacerbated race

This is one of the reasons why I suggest Democrats take a back seat to the fight over Flock cameras, because sooner or later, a horrendous incident that goes viral may be weaponized regarding the use of these cameras. In fact, just this past weekend in our area, local authorities are praising

Wow. One of the most difficult & best films I've seen in a while. So powerful, but troubling to watch. Olivia Colman's portrayal shows why she is so respected, & Eddie Marsan - wow. Peter Mullan is wonderful as always. Be forewarned: very difficult to watch, with very troubling depictions.

Another point about Flock cameras is this: Democrats should take a back seat & let Republicans do the heavy lifting because what could happen is some very high-profile horrible crime or incident may occur that captures the attention of the entire country that could have been prevented or solved

Let me make this point about Flock cameras & a danger to the Left that no one is anticipating: if we are not careful, the disavowing of them may come back to bite us in the ass because imagine if there is some child abduction/killing where such a device could have solved the case &

How is it the DNC, @kenmartin.bsky.social & so many Washington Democrats, are failing to see the writing on the wall? Established Democrats are not losing because of some sort of Left insurgency; they are losing because of their limp & abysmal fight for our Democracy.

We must not be fooled by what this is all about: MAGA is not hardcore enough to the right for these people. They want a MAGA on steroids & people are going to fall for this shit. So whenever one sees these people in the media, remember - they will be more extreme than the current MAGA.

My father, Monte Ellis, monteellis.wordpress.com, was a wildlife artist & passed in 2009. These are from a series of pencils he did of rough water. I believe the inspiration for these most likely came from a months-long canoe trip he & three others made to the Arctic Circle in 1974.

A great garlic clove peeling hack: heat the unpeeled cloves in a microwave for ten seconds on high, then immediately peel. The outer skins come off so easily - almost like holding a slippery bar of soap in hand. Don't wait, because if you let them cool, the skins will become harder to remove again.

If I were the defense attorney for the former Olympian charged with vandalizing the reflecting pool, a picture & video of the "Presidential" motorcade driving over the surface would be shown to any possible jury. Evidence like this should clearly raise reasonable doubt this man vandalized the pool.

💯-Trump didn’t kidnap a healthy institution — he made its long‑denied racism impossible to ignore, stripping away the polite language and country‑club manners that once kept it "respectable" on the surface.

A close-up of Ta-Nehisi Coates with a serious expression. Overlaid text highlights his quote about racism in the Republican Party, stating Trump exposed what was already present. His name appears at the bottom.

It is my belief that over the next few months, Barack Obama could possibly destroy & cause the adjudicated rapist to melt down with a few, well-publicized speeches. The sad thing is expecting this man to do more heavy lifting when he has already done so much, but his country needs him - badly.
