We actually executed the Rosenbergs for crimes less egregious than the crimes Trümp and this administration have perpetrated. Just sayin'.

I keep reading that Israel violated the cease-fire, but here's the thing: I never once read that Israel had agreed to a cease-fire. If terms are as suggested, did the US finally part ways with Israel, or are we just going to give Israel more money and weapons? Have we gone fully proxy here?

It's empirical that Persia has historically remained intact and withstood any attacks against it, despite the loss of some land about a millennia ago.

I watched the whole time with my jaw clenched. When they lost one engine, I was in a panic. I remember the Challenger explosion as if it was yesterday. Almost.

It's official--the government thinks we're all worthless. fortune.com/2026/04/01/e...

The EPA just valued a human life at $0. That's not just a moral crisis — it's a market crisis | Fortune
When the government quietly removes human life from its cost-benefit ledger, it isn't environmental policy. It's a fundamental repricing of the economy.

This is who they’re side-eyeing with those assumptions and racism. Victor Glover. Highly trained. Proven. Trusted with missions most people can’t even imagine. An American hero. #SheShed

Gorsuch to Trump's lawyer: your historical sources are "Roman law resources." You flew to SCOTUS to argue Roman law to a man YOU appointed. That happened.

We wanted to understand why Sen. Lindsey Graham is so enthusiastic about sending 50,000 troops into ground combat in Iran. So we caught up with him on his vacation at Walt Disney World.

Trump wants Iran's oil. Markets priced it at $116/barrel instantly. Somewhere a family is about to get a flag. Somewhere else...someone is having a very good quarter. These are related events. Let the name TRUMP stick to ALL of it.

I walked to the town playground. I headed for the swings, but decided to try the slide first. I landed on my butt, slid farther, then hit my head on the end of the slide. Now I have a bag of frozen fruit on my head and an icepack on my butt. I'm 62 years old. Take from this tale what you will.

Your therapist hit the nail on the head. Empathy, for the most part, appears to be dead. Or at best, unresponsive.

It was a short slide compared to the old school metal slides at the First Street Beach in Manistee, Michigan, but it was definitely my last slide ride.
