The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

In a time when just about everything seems bleak, a little something heartwarming. My 14 year-old son has autism spectrum disorder and he loves Legos. He has a little display table at Brickfest convention. One is a tiger tank one is a Sherman tank battling it out.

"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all." Arthur C. Clarke

I saw the Kanye ad yesterday (it aired in the Philly market, where we were) but didn't click on the link. Today I found out it went to a website selling swastika T-shirts. This was a Superbowl ad. And it was to a website selling swastika T-shirts. I feel like I'm losing my mind.

With the Eagles obliterating the Chiefs, now is a good time to remind everyone that the last time the Eagles won the Super Bowl they refused to go to the White House because of Donald.

"The bans show a clear pattern of targeting authors of color, women and members of the LGBTQ+ community. Books that educate about racism, gender and history are most often the recipient of relentless censorship attempts." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

In 1985 in Africa 25 vaxxed children were compared with 25 unvaxxed for 5 years. In the vaxxed group one got mild measles while 4 had suspected whooping cough. Among the unvaxxed 11 got measles leading to 2 deaths & an unvaxxed child died of tetanus. This is why we don't do these studies anymore.

Over the past 17 days, Donald Trump has unleashed a firehose of executive actions designed to overwhelm us, many of which are illegal or unconstitutional. Todd Beeton broke down the most egregious and looked at how Democrats and the courts are taking a stand against them for the Big Picture.

Suggestion to Americans: If you used a current bank account with funds on a recent tax return, it may be wise to contact your bank and request a change. Account and routing numbers are accessible, and Elon Musk’s staff have access to this information. Stay safe and protect your assets.

I know all of us who understand what is happening are experiencing mental health challenges because of that. The only message of comfort I can offer to this community of readers is this: you are correct. What you think is happening is really happening, and is just as concerning as you think it is.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Wonderful 1950 letter in which J. Robert Oppenheimer very patiently explains to Eleanor Roosevelt that flying saucers do not exist--and tells a funny story about human fallibility, and how all the Los Alamos scientists tried to get the local Air Force base to shoot down a UFO.

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period. I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt. But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

Since tariffs are a tax on U.S. importers, why do we permit the President to impose them unilaterally without authorization from Congress? Asking for a nation.

Warren: "He can stand there, smile at you and say, 'anybody can vaccinate their kids who wants to,' but he literally could bankrupt the vaccines manufacturers with the power he will have. And since he's got a financial incentive to do that, we cannot trust him in that job."

If the FAA director got fired over a business beef AND there was an air traffic controller hiring freeze despite huge shortages AND a chaotic blitz to hollow out federal bureaucracy, and then within a week the first American airliner crashes in 16 years, you would be insane not to talk about it all.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country
