Trump was still in his high school pseudo-military prep school when he was 20 years old? Hahahaha

On behalf of Boomers: Let’s not make “Boomerism” a pejorative. “Boomers” were the backbone of the anti-Vietnam war resistance, a young, but crucial part the Civil Rights movement, and provided the outrage that brought the Nixon regime to heel. You can keep JD Vance.

Staged. My opinion as a Navy physician, who served with a USMC infantry regiment, and who has dealt with tissue wounds from high-velocity rifle wounds, a 2cm wound to the ear (as described by Trump’s fake doctor Ronny Jackson) would never heal like the ear in the photo!

Aurora borealis from our yard in Providence, Utah, 11.11.2025, 7:50pm. Good omen, I hope.

Folks — this is not a normal government shutdown. Let me explain the stakes and how we got here.

Amy Coney Barrett choosing to kick off her book tour with an anti-woke blogger is really all you need to know about where Amy Coney Barrett's head is at these days

The Conservative Media Ecosystem Is Coddling Amy Coney Barrett
Nothing says “I am not a partisan hack” like kicking off your book tour in conversation with Bari Weiss.

Looks like Rachel is covering it.

As a former Navy physician who served with the Marines, I am familiar with the kind of tissue damage a small caliber, high velocity rifle round can do to living tissue. This ear was never hit. What a shock!

Too little, too late, Mike. Here’s a solution: Apologize, then resign, then repent. What an embarrassment to many of us from Utah. With hopes for your enlightenment, Lars

Ah, I love the smell of Christian Nationalism in the morning… (with apologies to Apocalypse Now).

Indeed. I’m surprised so many of our current leaders don’t seem to see the obvious.

I’ve been increasingly frustrated with the lack of response and involvement by our past presidents Clinton, Bush, Obama and Biden regarding the crimes of the Trump regime to date… but silence today when Trump and Vance ambushed a greater statesman, Ukraine’s Zelensky? Speak up, former presidents!

If you feel this way, you're not along. And together, we're going to keep the Republic. Pass it on.

Sorry, Ken, but you’ve lost me, and lots of other progressives. We’re in a war for the survival of freedom and democracy, and we need progressive democrats who recognize the problem, and have the cajones to notch their efforts up several levels.

So, doge.gov is publishing something more than a title page now. Oh, it’s just @DOGE posts on X, and what links there are take you to X. Yeah, that’s really transparent for those of us who do not use and support X, but who expect our government to be directly responsive to us.

A coup d'etat by Musk with the acquiescence of Trump. Who would have thought!

This is a reason our institutions are failing: our GenX and Millennial politicians are living in fantasy and computer game worlds, it seems, without the benefit of any real experience.

Democrats/Progressives, you’re the new Red Coats. To paraphrase Pogo, “we have met the enemy, and it is us.”

Remember when your civics teacher in high school said that the Red Coats lost to the American Revolutionaries because they could not adapt to changing tactics, and kept lining up in neat rows and columns only to be shot by the Patriots that hid behind trees and used asymmetric tactics?

Pied Currawong and Sulfur-crested Cockatoo on Hamilton Island, Queensland, Australia. Good morning, mate. Nice to be on Bluesky.
