Independent guy from MN, open-minded to all points of view, but I detest ad-hominem attacks. Interested in politics, foreign affairs. Also, I am a history buff and a language nerd. I've got opinions, but I try not to take them too seriously.

There's no point in presenting any view that challenges someone's pre-conceived notions, if they have a closed mind. The following video will present some uncomfortable viewpoints for anyone who truly cares about the middle east. youtu.be/Dn0VZIy8jH0

REMEMBER JANUARY 6! I am posting this link from Wikipedia. It is about what happened on January 6, 2021, and details the preceding events, specifically mentioning the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys. It also documents Trump's intransigence on that day. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/January...

Anyone who thinks it is OK for the US government to "disappear" people (citizens AND those here legally) and send them to concentration camps in other countries is either stupid, un-American, or just die-hard MAGA. Don't stand for it, friends. Resist LOUDLY. #MAGA #Trump #Democracy #USA

April 19, 2025 Protests/Rallies to take place in cities all over the country to protest MAGA, authoritarianism, and the disappearance of Killmar Abrego-Garcia to a death camp in El Salvador. Someone please tell me where the protest in Saint Paul, MN is going to be? The capitol again??? #Resist

I favor open and personable (i.e., non-hostile) discourse. This point of view has some merit, if only because it forces the viewer to confront their own prejudices (if they are honest enough to admit they have any). youtu.be/CFeN1vr5NP4

It is beyond question that RFK Jr. is incapable and even unwilling to have the seat of HHS. Unwilling, because he does not uphold precedent or even accepted medical wisdom. Here is why he is incompetent. RFK Jr. Gabbard. Hegseth. Incompetent. youtu.be/GJksyHQXPog?...

The resistance is alive and growing. Here are a couple of pictures from the rally at Saint Paul's Capitol building on Saturday April 5, 2025, around noontime. Sen. Klobuchar and Rep. McCollum were there.

Tramp/Musk just fired the Alzheimer's Research center at the CDC. And we are on the brink of major breakthroughs in this field. Great timing, Elon. And just when Tramp appears to be needing it. #CDC #Trump #ElonMusk #Republicans #Democrats #MAGA #Resistance #Kafkaesque youtu.be/cc1dq9837w8?...

Schumer: spineless wimp. Just give the Repugs what they want and need, Chuck. Maybe someone else will pull your chestnuts out of the fire. Step down Schumer. Give a real leader a chance to lead the opposition. #Democrats #Schumer #CR #SchumerIsATraitor

I just read that TrumPutin and J.D. Vance "attacked" Ukraine President Zelenskyy in the Oval Office. Check it out: The president and his acolytes disdain democratic Ukraine but are in love with the Russian enemy. As if Putin's territorial ambitions stop with Ukraine. #Ukraine #Trump #MAGA #War

Today, I am a refugee from X/Twitter. It was a hate fest filled with Trump's and others' lies concerning Ukraine and actively supporting the totalitarian government of the would-be Russian Empire. I am old enough to remember the Cold War; seeing the new cold (now) war, Russia is still an enemy.

This Israeli Arab has something to say about the utterly barbarous cruelty of Hamas, which words are insufficient to describe. It is the nature of Evil. #Hamas #Palestine #Israel #StandWithIsrael #HamasIsEvil youtu.be/9K_FBf_SnrI

"Back in US, back in the US, back in the USSA!" (Paraphrasing John Lenon, "Back in the USSR", The White Album") I was so angry, but now I refuse to take them seriously. Trump, Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon, Elon Musk. It's time to play Russian Roulette.
