Fredrick Backman is a wonderful observer and writer. His stories help soothe my soul after the disheartening news events of the day.

Public Service Announcement - Apparently, stating that you are a U.S. senator and have questions during a news conference is enough to end up in handcuffs.

Given that most, if not all MAGA merch is made in China, I'll be really curious to see what happens to their pricing and availability 😁

Trump casts doubt on due process rights. I’m sad and confused how this 🫏 was ever elected president. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/05...

Should we rename the White House to the White Supremacist House? Makes it more indicative of the man who lives inside…

There’s a very clear scientific explanation that fully captures this current trend - Trump sucks! He sucks as a president. He sucks as a businessman. He sucks as a father. He sucks as a husband. He sucks as a human being.

The US economy is set to lose billions of dollars in revenue in 2025 from a pullback in foreign tourism and boycotts of American products.

Dang Kentucky! Those import tariffs are going to hurt! Looks like a lot of other states are going to feel the pinch as well.

Trump is withholding funds from colleges, revoking student visas, and chasing academics out of the country. Anyone else see parallels with the Khmer Rouge regime’s attitude towards the intelligentsia (minus the bullets)?

I want to throw up at the callous disregard of many families’ financial retirement security. Perhaps Trumpy Bear should learn to play the violin to get the full Nero effect. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/05/u...

This Fox headline cracks me up. It is given the same importance as some sort of Clooney nonsense, more significant than the Dow plunging news story, and the industry that is benefitting from the tariffs? Domestic shrimp. The Bubba Gump (actually Bosarge Boats) shrimp company has been saved.

I cannot prove it, but my suspicion is that Trump and his rich friends sold everything before intentionally tanking the market, so they could buy it all back at lower prices.

Good thing we saved all that money eliminating USAID, Dept. of Education, massive government layoffs, etc., so we can give Musk billions of $$$. Musk Is Positioned to Profit Off Billions in New Government Contracts www.nytimes.com/2025/03/23/u...
