Goodby CBS. It was good to know ya! Douglas Edwards, Walter Cronkite and Mike Wallace, among others, are rolling in their graves, rolling their eyes, and looking at you with askance. For you to take authoritarian positions is anti-democratic and unamerican! So, adios!

Here’s so good news, and some sad news. Europe has stepped into the void that America has left since Trump 2.0. The question is how long they can keep Russia at bay in Ukraine. It’s obvious that the Trump admin has no plan to provide support. Yeah, the so-called negotiations continue, ⤵️

Happy Valentines Day 💝🌹 Now to what’s not happy. The search for Nancy Guthrie continues! Why was she even taken? Why does it take law enforcement to determine height, check surrounding cameras, get the glove DNA checked? This is heartbreaking. Next, we know what a monster Trump is.

They Lie! They ALL Lie! The president Lies; Always! To the country; to the World! Vance, Bondi, Blanche, Patel, ICE officials, etc., they ALL LIE! This is a cruel, ignorant, autocratic administration. It’s openly corrupt. They openly LIE about EVERYTHING! It’s not good & I’m sick of this sh*t!

The world now sees what we see, a rambling, delusional old man as the president of the US. They know there has been a shift in world order. Our president has “forced” that by threatening use of force against our allies or greater tariffs. But, as with all bullies, our president backed down after ⤵️

Now the World knows what many of us already knew; our president is a loon; a nutcase; a demented person. His rambling “speech” at Davos, Switzerland, exposed him to the rest of the World. It’s not just his constant referral to Greenland as Iceland. It’s his overall inability to put together ⤵️

Eric Abel @ericabel.bsky.social · 21/01/2026
Let me get this straight! We gave Greenland “back” to Denmark after WWll? Hmmm 🤔. Obviously, our demented Prez Chaos hasn’t looked at the history. Greenland was part of Norway originally, then part of a joined Norway-Denmark; then part of Denmark where it remains today. And, apparently, he ⤵️

Eric Abel @ericabel.bsky.social · 10/01/2026
It must be obvious to you by now that the escalation of Trump’s imperialism in the Caribbean & threats to take Greenland militarily, are not just distractions of the Epstein Files. Trump is now a threat to the Western world, and the NATO alliance! Meanwhile, back in country, Trump’s Gestapo has ⤵️

Good Morning, BlueSky! In one year, Trump has totally turned our beautiful country into a place of fear & hate. His goal is to eventually turn citizen against citizen. Who knew that our democracy was this fragile? Apparently, the authors of Project 2025, including Voight, Vance, & ⤵️

Eric Abel @ericabel.bsky.social · 08/01/2026
Ok, let’s look at the distractions; from what? First, we bomb small boats; over and over. Then, we pardon a convicted president of Honduras of drug charges. Then, we “invade” Venezuela taking their bad guy to the US. And, why? Same drug charges as the guy from Honduras. Then, we threaten ⤵️

@realdonaldrumpf.bsky.social! You are a criminal in so many ways! But, even worse is that you are evil! You don’t even F’ing care that you have brought domestic terrorism to America’s street! You have provoked your F’ing cronies to send your Gestapo into American cities, disrupting a

OMG! We got him, now what? No doubt Maduro is a bad guy; apparently, his wife, too. But, aside for rightly trying these drug kingpins, we now claim we’re running Venezuela. Is this a new toy for Donnie & his cronies to play with? They’re having enough trouble running our own government. ⤵️

Remember! This is a convicted criminal; F’ing Donald J Trump; your elected president! His corruption shows no bounds! Ok! Now it’s 2026! Time to start removing the corruption! Obviously, getting Trump & his F’ing sycophants under control is a start. But, it’s not just MAGA. It’s politicians ⤵️

@jojofromjerz.bsky.social, unfortunately, I can’t comment to you on substack; I’m one of may Americans on a fixed income. Subscribing is just too difficult. So, I’ll continue to follow you on BlueSky & Threads where I can freely communicate. 2025 was a difficult year for most of us who aren’t ⤵️

Good Morning, BlueSky! My thoughts on Ukraine & Russia. To put it bluntly, F’ing Putin does not want peace; he will kill & take until he gets it all. The negotiations that are going on are between Ukraine & Ukraine supporters. In other words, they’re negotiating against themselves (ourselves). ⤵️

Hmmm..🤔 The DOJ says that some of the released Epstein Files can’t be true. Why? Because this DOJ says they would have been weaponized against the Republicans at that time. Whaaat? That’s just backward thinking by the DOJ. This DOJ has been weaponized, indicting Trump’s enemies. What crap!

VP Vance (@jd-vance-1.bsky.social), apparently thinks he isn’t a Christian White Nationalist! Hmmm 🤔. He says he’s against bigotry! Hmmm 🤔. Yet, he says DEI has been relegated to the “dustbin of history.” Then, he says, “you don’t have to apologize for being White, anymore.” ⤵️

Good Morning - another beautiful day in San Diego. Rain is on the way (& we need it), so we’ll enjoy one more day of sunshine. Ok, enough bragging 😏. Deputy AG Blanche says that Trump is mentioned in the Epstein Files…right. And, he also did a valid, comprehensive interview of Ghislaine Maxwell. ⤵️

I’m a non-practicing Jew, who wishes All happiness on Hanukkah’s 7th night. I don’t light a menorah, but my faith, while not formal, is strong. My wife & I put up a small Xmas tree each year, and enjoy decorating it with ornaments we’ve bought all over the country.

If you thought the 18-1/2 minute gap in the Watergate tapes was bad, what the Trump DOJ is doing w/the Epstein Files is much worse. Apparently, files are vanishing, i.e., in today’s world, being disappeared. Obviously, to most of us, this is the most corrupt US government in American history. ⤵️

Good Morning, BlueSky! Beautiful weather in SoCal. Here’s what bothers me, & invigorates me this morning. The Good: - Great that our troops are getting $1776 - Jack Smith testimony, from we can glean from reports, is riveting - Republicans joining Dems to force vote on ACA subsidies ⤵️

Wake-up Blue Skys! Our America is slipping away! With each Executive Order, and each SCOTUS ruling, Trump’s authoritarian nation is making inroads on our democracy. Trump and his lackeys are making a mockery of our Constitution. They lie, make us less safe, take away our liberties, ⤵️

Hey Millennials! Do you think that a president who wants a $400M MAGA-Jet, and a F’ing $25-45M parade is “cool?” I’m not saying the the Democrats are “cool” either. But, WTF does “cool” have to do with doing what’s right for your country? Spending $’s for bullsh*t things don’t do anything ⤵️

Hey BlueSky! Does it bother you that every cabinet member answers all questions with, “I don’t know,” or “That’s not in my purview?” Obviously, they’re following the president who answered a question about following the Constitution with, “I don’t know.” Does that bother you? Just saying…

Know, I’m beginning to think that the DOGE Kids fiddled with our air traffic system. Sure it’s an old system, and F’ing Trump fired many air traffic professionals, but (there’s always a but with Trump), I don’t remember actual blackouts of the air traffic controller screens. ⤵️
