Colonel Cathcart, Lieutenant Scheisskopf, Pete Hegseth. Compare and contrast.

We have entered the domestic air travel system. Given our nation's self-inflected government employee turmoil, shortage of air traffic controlers, and Elon's interest in changing the FAA, please offer the traditional thoughts and prayers.

Elon is a drug-fueled individual who lives his life as if he were a character in a video game. His young acolytes are full of feelings of power and invulnerability as they break things in the service of Lord Elon. It is just that simple.

It would be interesting to get Big Balls and friends under oath. For an Administration which touts its transparency, this should be welcome.

GOP issues misleading statements proclaiming itself party of "Law and Order".

JD Vance, tirelessly defending dogs, cats, and some babies, but not his own integrity.

I imagine that our nation's enemies are laughing and our friends are crying.

Commissars come next.

During the Soviet Era and beyond, there were two official information sources, Pravda and Izvestia, meaning respectively Truth and News. It is said there is no news in Truth and no truth in News. We will learn this for ourselves.

George. Orwell.

Hope springs eternal

The shameful chaos generated by the actions of the administration, the OPM, and Speaker Mike Johnson have placed additional burdens on Federal workers and their families. Still, these same workers do their jobs to keep our country functioning.

Kakistocracy is an apt descriptor, but I feel that it is insufficient to describe our current situation.

The GOP is OK with current events because it is perceived as a permanent path to power, irrespective of popularity.

As long as we are creating new geographic place names, how about suggestions to replace Mar-a-lago? Anyone?

For those who survived the corporate raider era, this has the appearance of a hostile takeover. No matter the arguments of shareholder value, customers suffer, the workforce suffers, and the only beneficiary is the raider who walks away with richer pockets. Sigh. History repeats.

How Mitch McConnell got us here: unlimited dark money in politics; stacking the courts, including SCOTUS; and letting DJT off the hook for J6. Now he is just another impotent old man. All because he wanted galactic domination SO BAD.

Perhaps "In God We Trust" should be replaced with "God Help Us". For myself, my faith is being tested.
