Bless the memory of the talented George Wendt. I'm sure at some point recently all the Angels in Heaven looked at the Door and said in unison..."Norm!"

Yes he has...and we stand with him. God Bless President Biden and his family.

I'm praying for a very successful course of Treatment for President Biden, a Very Good Man...and for his Family's continued strength.

Looks like they are, smartly, taking no chances, this time JD Vance is near a Pope!

Kathrine had finally had enough...or...why proofreading your tombstone is rather important! (H/T the Voice of Nebraska, Rick Alloway)

OMG! The Ice Barbie is seriously considering holding a Reality TV Competition among immigrants to award Citizenship! Nooooo! www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

We see that the tRump Kleptocracy tour of the middle east continues...

Barbara Walters called out First Felon tRump for his many, many lies, 35 Years ago! We knew he was a lying conman back in the eighties, we never dreamed he would end up in the position to be a wannabe dictator, hellbent on doing significant damage to our Constitution!

(Chief Justice John) "Roberts took a longer-term view Monday. He blamed schools for shortchanging civics education and leaving students with little understanding of the structure of U.S. government or the role of the courts." AMEN Smiley John, AMEN! www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

Boy, they sure got that Qatar BRIBE painted fast!

The late Justice Nino Scalia, patron saint of the Federalist Society and hard right legal circles, asked if "undocumented immigrants" have the Constitutional Freedoms of the First Amendment, replied, "Oh I think so, anybody who is present in the United States does."

Gov. Romney is so right! My former Party, for which I devoted so much of my youth and treasure, has been hijacked by a bunch of far-right extremists and tRumpian cultists who don't care about constitutional constraints! The current republican party must be thoroughly defeated!

Truly, SNAKES on  a PLANE! The Predator and the wannabe Dictator! The one on the right is willing to be bribed by the State of Qatar for a fancy Airplane he thinks he will get to keep, one problem for the First Felon, the Emoluments Clause of our Constitution forbids it, unless Congress approves.

The tRump Maladministration is poised to accept a Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet from the royal family of Qatar as a kind of Air Force One, that is an impeachable violation of the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution!!

S. Miller aka 'Pee Wee German,' the tRumpian Reichminister for Hate, Evil and Cruelty has stated that the tRump Maladministration is "looking at suspending habeas corpus." That would be an enormous assault on our Constitution if not out & out Fascism! We Will Not Stand By and Let That Happen!!

One of the best reasons for promoting/teaching high quality, student centered Civic Education, since Justice Sandra Day O'Connor pointed out that civic knowledge, knowledge of our "rights and responsibilities are not passed down through the gene pool and must be taught."

Wishing a Very Happy Mother's Day to all the Mothers, Moms. Grandmothers and Motherly Figures. As his late Holiness Pope Francis so eloquently said: "We think of them with gratitude... for the legacy only a Mother can give."

Ted is Sad! Elmo's Job and all of PBS Must Be Saved! Fund Elmo Not Elon!!

On this week of the 80th Anniversary of VE Day, we remember all those who won the war against Nazis and remember the countless sacrifices they made to deliver it. The Greatest Generation stood up to an evil dictator to protect peace and freedom for generations. Now it’s our turn.

Mourning the passing of a good man and good jurist, Justice David Souter. Rest in Peace Justice Souter. This picture was taken at Harvard Law School is 2013; here is a link to that fascinating video conversation on civic education between Justices Souter & O'Connor hls.harvard.edu/today/souter...

The last Pope Leo, filmed in 1896... www.threads.com/@barbaraj.so...

Congratulations to Pope Leo XIV! May you enjoy a long papacy and be successful in shepherding your large flock, especially the poor and vulnerable. And please whatever you do, Don't meet with the US Vice President, that did not turn out well for your immediate predecessor!

The tRump Maladministration’s recent assault on foreign aid and the idea of global generosity itself is killing real people. A study in The Lancet calculated cuts to American spending on PEPFAR, the program to deliver H.I.V. and AIDS relief abroad, could cost the lives of 500,000 children by 2030.

The Danger to Democracy Bunch! The unqualified fool, three down on the right's Father actually wrote a book entitled "The Enemy Within," sadly he would have to include his wayward namesake son in a new version!

These tRump Deportations are going too far! All this poor man said was, "With Malice toward None and Charity for All..."

80 Years ago today, on the eve of her 21st Birthday, after surviving years of Horrific conditions in Nazi forced labor camps and a three month 350 mile death march, our beloved Friend, Gerda Weissmann Klein (1924-2023) was liberated, hear her dramatic story of liberation...

"...A Republic, IF you can keep it!" - Benjamin Franklin, Philadelphia September, 17, 1787. What are YOU doing to Keep our Republic??

Don't let them get away with it, it's all on tRump & Company and has been since January 20th!!

The REAL image!

Am on a long train trip but could not resist posting this. Giddyup!

Oh the moronic ignorance of the racist fringe!

100 Days of chaos, incompetence, destruction, evil acts, incomprehensible policies, harm to millions, national decline, economic malfeasance, empowering Xi, Putin and all who wish America harm; 100 Days of the tRump Maladministration, God help us in the next 100 days of tRump Madness!

George Orwell Nails It Again!!

Bad News for Don the Con & First Felon, new polling shows he is rapidly losing support and is underwater in approval on all key issues. Great News for our Constitutional Republic!

Evil Elon's Dodgy Doge will cast taxpayers more than it saves. Deport Musk for Criminal Fraud!! www.cbsnews.com/news/doge-cu...

Now, for the lighter side, Bless our British Cousins and BBC4, here with a "Bigly Announcement" by the First Felon concerning his marital status....

We need to know what kompromat, what damaging information, financial or moral, Putin and the Russians have on tRump, for there is no other logical explanation for his unconscionable pro-Russian actions, especially concerning Ukraine!
