Why isn’t the entire world sanctioning El Salvador? Running a rent-a-gulag is wrong and we should seize their assets

From HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT (2020): "Trump covers up crime with scandal. That is his main propaganda tactic, the one few seem to be able to discern...The crimes are much worse than the scandals, but the media will always take the scandal bait." www.hidinginplainsightbook.com

Letters from two different tax entities from two different countries. Awesome day.

Hiking with my 3 yr old a few days ago and out of nowhere she asked why Swee'Pea, the baby from Popeye, only has one hair. I didn’t have a good answer, but hiking is great for letting your mind work on the hard questions that have been bothering you.

“Six years ago, I found myself face to face with a white farmer preparing for the government to take his land. This did not happen in South Africa. It was in South Texas, and it was because of Trump…” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/21/u...
