I have no President. I have a lawless, petty and infantile dictator that I’ll pray for, like St Paul prayed for Nero.

What an ugly, filthy man my fellow Americans have elected. Therein is my problem. My fellow citizens have enthusiastically voted against themselves, but have also voted against my granddaughter. If you voted for him, you owe her an apology. A tear stained face on the floor apology.

Can we not, in these immediate moments after so heartbreaking a tragedy, simply console and pray for these 67 victims, and the many hundreds of people who will be hurt by these deaths? www.bbc.com/news/article...

I have dropped my subscriptions to the Washington Post, the New York Times. I spray Lysol whenever Fox and 47's himself or his entourage is heard or even mentioned. I do subscribe to the Atlantic and Bulwark. Twitter is just like its rhyme and Facebook's not far behind. Circle the wagons on BlueSky.

This was published a year ago in my town's paper, and took me 10 years to write it, off and on. I bring it out again since it's still, and always will be, exactly what I mean. jonathantobias.substack.com/p/the-red-wa...
