And he'll probably use it as a Pearly Gates excuse too. Assuming he's going in that direction, which is likely false.

Americans by nature generally lack any historical understanding of what it means for a people, a civilization, to pass through over 100 generations (I'm guesstimating here), keeping tradition and ethics and belief systems long revered and practiced. There's no understanding, no understanding at all.

I wonder how long it will take Trump and his minions to realize that the big "victories" they're seeing are only a small part of the Iranian military infrastructure. Pundits say Iran's most precious resources are deep underground, all over Iraq like the underground tunnels of Gaza, untouched.

The countdown is on for the 98th Oscars, with Conan O’Brien back and a 'moving' in memoriam The Oscars team says the 98th Academy Awards aims to feel warm, tight and built for both the room and viewers at home.

Normally I find awards shows boring (with exceptions of course). But I really need to see the "In Memoriam" segment this year. So many passed but, Rob and his wife, oh ghod.

I demand that this traitor, Donald John Trump, otherwise known as Mr. Pedodent, be impeached, removed from office and imprisoned.

Once again, science proves itself just kinda-sorta important to our own well-being. Wish we had a pro-science government rather than a cadre of wilfully ignorant luddites.

Personally I think Trump strings them all along, because deep inside he's just a mean kid with a plateful of flies to pull the wings off of, and ultimately smash. With the promise of the Ultimate Pardon in their back pockets, which they may, or may not, ultimately receive, his "pals" are prisoners.

Last night, as we ate the street tacos bought minutes earlier, my wife turned to me and said "We sure eat tacos a lot."

And? Is this a problem?

When finally brought to trial, Trump will plead innocence based on "Look at all the good I've done as president!"

I fantasize (probably too often) what Trump will say when finally brought to trial for his many crimes, Epstein related too, both in and out of office.

US strike on Iranian warship tests India's neutrality New Delhi seems determined to not take sides in the US-Iran war β€” even with a US submarine sinking an Iranian frigate near its shores. But pressure is mounting on Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

This "little conflict" Trump is having with Iran has far reaching effects. The pressure on world leaders to take a side is pervasive. But taking good either "side" has its good and bad points.

Trump pushes GOP on voting bill, demanding an end to most mail balloting President Donald Trump says he won’t sign any other legislation into law until Congress passes a strict proof-of-citizenship voting bill that he says also must end Americans’ ability to vote by mail.

He knows. He knows.

Yes, you sure can "own" the fact that there isn't any affordable health insurance around any more, and more families now go without.
