Germans head to the ballot box tomorrow to elect the next coalition to lead the government. Let us hope German voters do not allow the Far Right AfD to dominate the election.

“First of all, you’ve got to fire the chairman of the Joint Chiefs,” Hegseth said last November. “But any general — general, admiral, whatever — that was involved in any of the DEI woke shit has got to go. Either you’re in for warfighting, and that’s it. That’s the only litmus test we care about.”

Josh Weil is the Democratic candidate running in a special election in April to fill the U.S. House seat in Florida’s Sixth District vacated by Fat Hitler’s selection for national security adviser. Weil will get my vote. Weil’s opponent is one of Fat Hitler’s unabashed sycophants.

Here we go — the erosion of a free, unfettered press, a bedrock of American democracy since the beginning of The Great Experiment.

I left the Democratic Party decades ago because the party is too moderate for me. But I always support Democrats in elections since we live in a weak two-party system. Time to burn it down and start over.

This statement says it all. Never mind that ours is an ambivalent god. “We used to be really the most hated people in America. And now, you know, we’re getting recognized at church and get a standing ovation at church,” Mock said.

Un-goddamn-believable. Well, this slimy motherfucker will just have to kill me. It’s over. I’m glad all of us in my family hold Italian passports. Our “papers,” if you will. “Casablanca,” anyone?

Let’s go, gents! “No one knows more about the importance of our presidents respecting separation of powers and showing restraint than former presidents. Given Trump’s ongoing power grab, those voices and perspectives of our ex-presidents would be critical to the public discourse at this moment.”

This is terribly heartbreaking. If I were still a classroom teacher and seen this happening, I would have acted on this child’s behalf. Our society is disintegrating by chunks every day.

Now, the Trusk administration is scrambling to rehire the people who maintain our nuclear arsenal. Putin must be laughing in his morning vodka.

The same people who complained that Kamala Harris did not receive a single vote to become the Democratic candidate for POTUS have no problem with this. Irony.

This story is familiar to those who fight for equality. It is worth sharing during Black History Month. Fascists be damned.

Is there a plan to manage the avian flu problem? I haven’t seen anything. Not even, “It will go away when it warms up.”

The year 1971 is important to me. Many events made indelible marks on me. You’d have to be my age to understand the myriad references in Gil Scott-Heron’s startling poem. But the message is clear. Kendrick Lamar referenced it during his Super Bowl halftime show last night. Here’s a link to the poem.

OK, NFL haters. Are you done with the crapola about refs conspiring to make the Chiefs win? The Eagles dominated the Chiefs in every phase of the game. The Eagles also got away with shoving Mahomes’ face down his throat. Now go away and grumble for a year about the halftime show.
