Explicitly tying a direct cash payment to voters on the condition of a specific party winning an election violates the core purpose of federal anti-corruption and vote-buying statutes (including 18 U.S.C. § 597 and 18 U.S.C. § 600). Calling it an illegal bribe is an accurate legal critique.

When public prayer becomes an exercise in manipulating public perception or treating words like a magic formula, it aligns closely with the mechanics of spell-casting.

During the winter at Valley Forge, George Washington was furious about the rampant war profiteering and monopolies hurting the Continental Army. He considered these individuals, who enriched themselves while the country suffered, to be traitors.

Thanks to PAWS (Pamlico Co.) and other donations Toby has been neutered and vaccinated! Thanks everyone! He's relaxing in quarantine while he recovers and he's ready for adoption. He's a gentle boy that loves to be petted.

Is there a "price" at which a person finally decides their humanity is worth more than their bank account, or is that just a myth we tell ourselves?

Veterans who rely on the VA/USPS to deliver prescription medication are still facing challenges; keeping track of my meds I watched them sent to the wrong zip twice this week then route back through the system only to have the same mistake repeated, hopefully I get them before I run out next week.

A bold person knows how to use legal means to get the job done; a brazen person abuses power to benefit themselves. We need bold leaders who are willing to use their power for good, not brazen leaders who abuse it for evil.

The “happy and only want happiness” front a lot of white suburban church-raised folks put up functions as willful ignorance. Being nice protects their worldview so they don’t have to feel discomfort, complexity, or contradiction. It’s outsourcing emotional nuance to Jesus and scented candles.

CBS cancelled Stephen Colbert because Paramount needs their sale to go through and they can't do that without the felony tramp approval. Fuck Paramount, greedy, elitist bastards.

The noise is getting ridiculous, pedo epstein was arrested in 2019 under trumpty dumpty's DOJ and subsequently died because the guilty couldn't have this case exposing all the other rich pedophiles.

The news is trying to act like there's some sort of suspense as to whether Republicans in the Senate will fuck over the country to pass a bill to give more money to the rich. I'm on the edge of my seat.

There should be a different button for reacting to a story, I feel weird about clicking the heart for some things, like news stories. There should be an Iago button for "I could have a heart attack and die from not-surprise!"

Patriotism without truth isn't pride, it’s denial.

When we constantly expose ourselves to human suffering, we can get overwhelmed and shut down emotionally. It’s not selfish to pull back and care for yourself. In fact, it’s necessary. You can’t pour from an empty cup.

It also means being psychologically and emotionally ready for long-term engagement, not quick fixes.

The real challenge now is how to protect what's left of democratic institutions—and that includes supporting local journalism, educating others, voting in every election, and pressuring representatives to act decisively in moments of constitutional crisis.

The survival of democracy doesn't rest on laws alone—but on the will of the people to demand accountability, the independence of institutions, and a media environment that upholds truth.

The founding fathers were wise to include mechanisms like impeachment, separation of powers, and a free press, but they underestimated how vulnerable a democracy is when civic norms degrade and people no longer believe in a shared reality.

All elected officials should be required to wear body cameras, similar to police officers. These cameras should not have an accessible on/off switch for the wearer; only personnel at the Bureau of Public Information should be able to disable them, and only during moments of personal privacy.
