For me, this is the primary reason Democrats need to take back the Senate and the House this fall. Russell Vought is dismantling the federal government piece by piece. If Democrats win the midterms, his office will snort a big old snort of Red Bull and do as much damage as they can before January.

We protect disabled and incapacitated individuals from sexual and physical abuse. Being drunk does not redefine disability incapacitation to “available” or “up for it”. Shame on the “men” and parents of these “fine” young men. Of course, you are in hopes one will someday be a Supreme Court justice.

I don't think any of us realize how powerful AI can be to persuade people to believe and follow anything. Eric Schmitt showed us how dangerous misinformation can be to our government and the rule of law. The shock on Katy Britt was genuine. I could hear her inside voice uttering "No, No, No, No!!!!

We have witnessed the Orange Jesus and his abuse of power. Imagine giving control of AI to him or someone like him. Now imagine the creation of a "GOD" that he alone controls and promises you a great life if you will just voice your submission to the "GOD" created by AI. Sound familiar?

Went shopping for new running shoes yesterday. I encountered over a hundred people lined up to get into Target. I asked what they were lined up for. A new release of Pokémon cards, he said. I told my wife about it and she told me about the neighbor's son selling his collection for $28 thousand. Wow!

I wish people had reposted suggestions or revisions. The question I wish everyone had to answer is: "Would you be okay with ______ if a Democrat president said or did this?" Then you should be upset with this one. Accountability goes both ways and Congress could rebuild trust in institutions.

When any power becomes so embedded in our world, it becomes so important to our governmental, social, and economic security that the guardrails become meaningless. President Eisenhower warned us of the defense industry and here we are, afraid of not pouring money into national defense.

The difference between World War II and today in terms of weapons development and manufacturing: Cost The price tag of a major war is greater than the appetite for one. It's a war of attrition. Whoever runs out of money first will lose. Even winning would feel like losing.
