I have a few passions in my life. Writing, woodworking and playing the guitar. I have a new cancer, so I did what I enjoy. I wrote a song. I hope it's not bad. Maybe you can let me know. It's call Lighting in the grass and it's about my thoughts sitting on a glider that I made. #guitar #writing

This aired just the once in 1998 on the live SNL show for which McKay wrote it. It was effectively banned as it never aired again. I wonder why. MEDIA-OPOLY

I just picked up my new Cort X700 Duality guitar last night at Central Penn Music. It was well worth the wait. I think it is a beautiful guitar, and it plays better than it looks. #guitar

I planted dune grass in my garden. The brown seed shoots above the grass remind of the beach. A gentle breeze makes the grass dance in the wind. As a bonus, there was a butterfly enjoying our lavender shrub. A nice diversion in a world of chaos. #author #writing #amwriting #writer #writerslife

The American Dream has become an American Nightmare. It’s too expensive to buy a home. It’s too expensive to get married and have kids. It’s too expensive to retire comfortably. The top 1% put the American Dream behind a paywall.

The 2020 election was not rigged and no votes were changes. Donald Trump's reaction was to sue and incite a violent insurrection in the Capitol. Donald Trump is once again laying the groundwork to try to overturn elections he is about to lose. We need to be prepared and to fight back.

“Ready for some bullshit? You paid the the higher prices… They raised prices on you to cover the tariffs, kept prices high, and now they get the refund. Also: 88 of the largest US corporations paid zero income tax in 2025.” (From @attorneyryan.bsky.social )

For 50 years, the median wage of hourly workers stagnated or declined while the stock market and CEO pay skyrocketed. Is it any wonder why so many feel abandoned by the system? People lose faith, and a demagogue fills the void. This is why we must fix the system. AOC is right.

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

Tax cuts for giant corporations and the super rich. Paid for by cuts to the social safety net for everyone else. Trickle-up economics.

#Greenland Looking at the Trump's Greenland from a different perspective. What does Putin want more than anything, NATO to go away. If the US invades Greenland, NATO is effectively nullified. Trump always looks for a way to bow and please Putin, what better way than to disband NATO.

"She's doing what she was hired to do." Bari Weiss just spiked a "60 Minutes" story on the notorious CECOT prison, sparking outrage. Sam Stein and JVL are joined by Semafor’s Max Tani to break down what happened, why Weiss made the call, and how Trump’s shadow looms over CBS News.

From 2018 to 2024, the tax rate paid by eight major retailers was slashed from 30% to just 17.5%. The CEOs of those major retailers were paid a collective $1.3 billion. Meanwhile, the average worker at those stores was paid less than $32,000 in 2024. Nothing trickled down.

#writing I don't piggyback on a popular poster. I need a frustrated comment. Robert Reich posted this "Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running." Please read on>

I'm an old dude. Growing up there were things we would say that are no longer true. The first is no one is above the law. We now know the President is above the law. The second is that we have free speech, it's a free country. Under Trump any speech that he doesn't like is hate speech.
