Today marks 64th anniversary of Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird" (1960) A novel containing truths so universal they bear repeating in 2025 “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view. Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.”

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on. Now.

A reminder I will be providing at least once a month for all of the remaining years of my life: Months before the 2024 election, the Department of Justice announced that there were at least six hundred Russian assets inside the United States and that some...were SITTING MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.

“Zelensky survived a dozen Russian assassination attempts including a special forces assault on his presidential complex.He stood up to Trump. I’m sure he’ll be deeply impressed to learn our Congressional Republicans live as terrified hostages of their own party leader.”

A sovereign democracy in Europe was invaded by Putin. His forces have inflicted immeasurable destruction, pain and deaths upon Ukraine and its people. The notion that Ukraine should surrender land or pay US ANYTHING for providing help for Ukraine to defend itself is obscene.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Um, it’s US farmers who thrive from USAID, selling $1.9 billion in grain, along with poor countries where we help feed children and help stop pandemics before they start. Philadelphia on USAID? This squatter in our White House is stunningly stupid.
