my mom will put you in a coffin without even trying

Quite the gall to stand there and compare people sitting down at a town hall meeting to January 6th insurrectionists, too.

Never trust a man who fires up a chainsaw indoors.

"There is everything to be gained from every refusal, from plain unwillingness to fall into line." Brilliant Mark Greif assessment of the assault on the bureaucracy. www.nplusonemag.com/online-only/...

From Mitt to Trump in just 4 years—what happened to America? On today's pod, @jonrauch.bsky.social & I discuss how fear-driven evangelicals traded Jesus for political power. We also discuss the surprising link between faith, community, & a healthy republic. Watch! www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMzt...

Live with Lance Page at the #Kilauea eruption. Day 60, Episode 10 from a different perspective than the USGS live cam. Lance is a Big Island resident who loves lava as much as I do. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJnd...

Excellent piece by Matt Lewis who says, “Conservatism is the revered philosophy of the rule of law, limited government, personal responsibility, moral clarity, fiscal responsibility and family values. Until your guy gets elected, that is. Then all bets are off. “ thehill.com/opinion/camp...

NEW from me —> Conservatism used to mean something. Now it’s just whatever Trump says. thehill.com/opinion/camp...

This seems like a good day to re-up Abraham Lincoln's warning (which includes a passing reference to Napoleon):

Art of the Deal: 1. Fire indispensable people for no reason 2. Realize they were indispensable 3. Beg them to return, making sure they know they have all of the negotiating power and can name their price, costing much more than simply not firing anyone in the first place. Check and mate!

A humpback whale briefly swallowed a kayaker off Chilean Patagonia before quickly releasing him unharmed. The incident, caught on camera, quickly went viral.

He's not a "kid." He's an adult, with an important govt job. The posts weren't "stupid." They were hatefully racist. His life isn't "ruined." He lost a job. Holding a govt employee accountable is not a "reward" for a journalist. The reporter doesn't get a cookie.

I can’t think of anything more dystopian than an Apprentice star taking over the Gaza Strip.

Who's your favorite Motown artist? #BlackHistoryMonth Some of the most celebrated pop music of the 20th century came from artists signed to Motown Records, which was founded in January 1959. Pictured here, founder Berry Gordy Jr. embraces Coretta Scott King.

I remember not that long ago when the audio went out during the Star Spangled Banner at an NHL game in Toronto, the Mapple Leafs fans in the stands stood up and finished it for our players. That depth of friendship and mutual respect, Trump has killed in less than two weeks.

How I miss those halcyon days when he was only gonna kill one person in the middle of Fifth Avenue

The Trump administration might benefit by designating an official "nice person," who would be tasked to say something decent and human at days of national grief. The president himself, first lady, VP, etc. etc. are obviously uninterested/incapable ... but there must be someone?

Learn the name Curtis Yarvin....fast. That's who JD Vance has been quoting lately. Curtis Marvin promotes deleting our government, Constitution...and the whole system and "Getting over the Dictator phobia." 1/2

“OMG Stanley, just pick a damn spot!” “THERE. Are you happy now, Alison?” “Took you long enough.”
