Just a Pilgrim on this Road @justpilgrim.bsky.social · 10/03/2026People go to war for a multitude of reasons, oppression, patriotism, religion, duty, ..., but "fun" is not one of them. And as clear as those motivating forces are in the beginning, by war's end, one desire stands above all others. Everyone in the fight simply wants to go home. 010
Just a Pilgrim on this Road @justpilgrim.bsky.social · 10/03/2026Okay, the war on Iran is red-hot and the Epstein Files are red-hot, and still "Affordability" is front and center. Why? I bought groceries and gas yesterday. 🤬 001
Just a Pilgrim on this Road @justpilgrim.bsky.social · 04/06/2025As a kid, I usually hung out with an older crowd. Played sports and partied with them, and it was always the alphas who kept an eye on me, made sure I was safe. They stood up for me. Defended me from bullies. They were never mean to me because they didn't have anything to prove. 003
Just a Pilgrim on this Road @justpilgrim.bsky.social · 02/06/2025Leadership can't be faked, and hoping to do well does not work when managing an important institution, or an unimportant one for that matter. Institutions made up of professionals, especially one with an essential or important mission, will always reveal a poorly qualified leader. 010

Just a Pilgrim on this Road @justpilgrim.bsky.social · 16/04/2025In the 1950s and 60s, the laws governing institutions were few and not well enforced. Money talked louder then because fewer people had it. Institutions often bought their way around rules and regulations, so I developed a firm dislike for institutional abuse. There are greater issues in play here. 000
Just a Pilgrim on this Road @justpilgrim.bsky.social · 16/04/2025Harvard graduates an average of 9,600 annually. That's 96,000 per decade and 240,000 since the start of the new Millenium. Yet trump thinks it's a good idea to go to war politically with this and other institutions of "Higher Learning." Not smart! 010

Just a Pilgrim on this Road @justpilgrim.bsky.social · 16/04/2025I've noticed that more and more Republicans, instead of outright denial, have started quietly rationalizing their increasing unpopularity, trying to explain it using primarily unsubstantiated claims. I also predict as 2026 unfolds, we will start to see more panic with more desperation and lies. 000
Just a Pilgrim on this Road @justpilgrim.bsky.social · 13/04/2025In sports, they say "The book is out," referring to having enough film on a team to plan a proper defense. Well, the book is out on trump. Prognosis: Call his bluff. He'll fold every time. 041
Just a Pilgrim on this Road @justpilgrim.bsky.social · 13/04/2025Art of the deal: trump threatens China with tariffs. China places tariffs on American goods. trump threatens higher tariffs on China. China ups the tariffs on America. trump begs China to negotiate. China doesn't take his call. trump reverses tariffs on China. *Yeah, he's a businessman. A bad one 040

Just a Pilgrim on this Road @justpilgrim.bsky.social · 12/04/2025History will judge trump as the worst president to ever hold office, but since he thinks the world began when he was born and will end when he is gone, he couldn't care less.

Just a Pilgrim on this Road @justpilgrim.bsky.social · 07/04/2025In the classroom, you must remove the disruptive individual and deal with them in isolation so they aren't supported and strengthened by other students. That being said, when you attack the "world" instead of isolating a country with offending policy, countries simply ban together and gain strength. 166
