Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

[email protected] made a very good point. Given Musk's tweet about Epstein and Trump, why aren't journalists either talking about defamation (if it is false) or impeachment (if it is true?) Unless I missed it, Trump, who sues EVERYBODY is not talking about suing for defamation, is he?

Dear journalists. When the US President is openly accused of paedophilia the story is either impeachment or defamation. If not, the story is how words have lost all meaning, truth has lost all value, and journalists are now completely desensitised to lying and corruption.

I like this. A lot.

Watched episode 1 of Alias again last night. What a well-written and directed episode of television that is. Every detail becomes important.

I pre-ordered The Music Never Stopped by The Grateful Dead on Apple Music and it shows only three songs. Anyone know what's going on?

The call is coming from inside the house. Our own government is our greatest danger. www.statnews.com/2025/05/28/m...

twenty minutes well spent.

This is absolutely despicable

I implore people to think about what Memorial Day means, and then think about…this

Narrator: he didn’t

the latest column that Laura and I wrote www.thebanner.org/columns/2025...

I think the word "could" is carrying a lot of weight here. It WILL gut the credibility of the US govt economic date.

At 1:34 AM Trump called for DOJ to investigate Kamala Harris, Beyoncé, Springsteen, Oprah and others for crimes, he then made another deranged post about it at 9:11 AM, and the lead story of the day on MSNBC and CNN continues to be Joe Biden in 2023.

Maybe let's not play partisan games with a cancer diagnosis, okay? Joe Biden is a public servant. He’s served his country proudly his entire life. He deserves an opportunity to rest, be with his family, and have a fighting chance at recovery. Just be normal, and pray for him.

The new duet from Barbra Streisand and Paul McCartney is very nice. Lots of careful key changes to make sure they both stayed in their vocal sweet spots and it worked very very well. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhEW...

But, but but, if China is paying for the tariffs, then why should American companies "eat the additional costs???????" Is it possible that China isn't actually paying for these tariffs????

So Alito and Thomas are ok ignoring due process???????

Andor may just be Star Wars at its best @phantasticgeek.bsky.social @pieterjketelaar.bsky.social

another of my reviews www.thebanner.org/mixed-media/...

“The prohibition against foreign gifts to the President or other office holder, absent Congressional approval, is "the only ethics and conflicts rule that was put directly in the Constitution by the founders and the framers”

a good local editorial with international applications from a former math professor colleague of mine. www.ottawanewsnetwork.org/tim-pennings...

So. Much. Corruption.

Newly elected Pope Leo XIV isn’t holding back, he’s openly criticized Donald Trump and JD Vance, posting a message condemning their attacks on due process and immigrants. A rare papal move into U.S. politics, and it’s clear: this Pope isn’t here to play it safe.

@satbshow.bsky.social Robert, I looked for the new Classic Rock Album Olympics podcast on Apple and it doesn't appear to be there - what did I do wrong?

Look past the smokescreen cheeto has been blowing up our asses. Here are the important things he's been doing that aren't getting BIG news youtube.com/shorts/VpBb8...

I've had this album since 1983 but every time it pops up on my fairly complicated algorithm for cycling through my collection I think about what a wonderful album this is. Every Single. Time. And I just increased the frequency of playing it and is has not dampened my enthusiasm for it at all.

@drbarfield.bsky.social does this come with a warning?

WELKER: Don't you need to uphold the Constitution? TRUMP: I don't know If a president’s answer to “do you need to uphold the Constitution” isn’t yes, HE NEEDS TO BE IMPEACHED IMMEDIATELY.

Let me tell you why this is not a joke...

How is this not a problem?
