I'm just an ordinary John hoping for a more discerning world! Hate waste, including the hard won lessons of the past, so I guess that makes me a bit Woke! Loving science & technology, history, vintage aviation, family, and the great outdoors.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.

I prefer non-lethal distractions from the tRUMPSTEIN Files like renaming the Gulf of Mexico, making Canada the 51st state & buying Greenland. Sure it was hugely offensive to longtime friends & allies, but at least no one died.

Trump claims ICE's Minnesota raids — which have already killed two Americans — are justified to root out "fraud." Meanwhile, he's pardoned multiple convicted fraudsters, including several who gave money to his campaign and Super PAC. The "law and order" president.

Wow! This read-along of the NYT moment-by-moment leading to the murder of Alex Pretti should shake everyone awake. He was a Good Samaritan. Agents fired at least ten shots in roughly five seconds. DHS and Pam Bondi claim Pretti approached them armed and intent on a “massacre.”

This analysis by the New York Times paints a damning picture of ICE's decision to kill Alex Pretti after Pretti had attempted to help a woman who had been shoved (assaulted) by ICE. ICE had Pretti pinned on the ground when one agent appears to come across a gun. After taking the gun, they kill him.
