Mar 28, 2025 – We have had some fun with Greenland ever since Trump brought the subject up shortly after trouncing the cackling coconut and her lumpy, dumpy, dopey running mate in November.It's also been a learning experience once the initial giggles wore off and people took time to look at a map, especially...

Mar 28, 2025 – Every day, I read something new and even more ghastly about what's going on in German 'democracy' since the 'national election.' And every time, all I can think is thank GOD those men 250 years ago put the wheels in motion to set up our system the way they did, vice a...

Mar 20, 2025 – Seems like it's been chilly bananas since November.I don't know about you all, but we've had a winter here in Pcola, sunny Florida. Everything from consecutive days of lows hovering around 14° to a classic blizzard. For us, that turned into epic proportion territory, with almost a foot of snow in...

Mar 19, 2025 – This is funny in one of those weird ways, how the oddest things seem to overlap at the same time.The first is kind of obvious and something I've harped on time and again - starting with Gavin Newsom, the oleaginous chief executive of the formerly Golden State. He and his...

Mar 19, 2025 – They also have no #moneez which is the reason for the #sadz.Welcome to our world, gays...and alphabet soup sex types. Where if you want to play, you have to pay, not have it paid for.This is what it seems the San Francisco Pride Parade has been pretty used to for...

Mar 19, 2025 – Pollution has always been a problem in the Los Angeles basin. The area is literally a seaside bowl formed by tectonic events (fascinating in itself) into a coastal lowland that is surrounded by steep hills and mountain ranges....On the north, northeast, and east, the lowland basin is bound by the Santa...

Mar 20, 2025 – Mayor Michelle Wu is definitely good for business from a 'She did/said WHAT?!' point of view.I mean, there are boatloads to write about. Controversies and scandals of all sizes have plagued her administration, and yet the mayor, who first arrived in the Boston area when she began attending Harvard, somehow...

Mar 20, 2025 – I've seen snippets here and there about Austin's weird magic losing its mojo over the past few weeks and only now had a chance to look into it.It seems to be true.Austin, Texas, has always had a quirky, off-beat kind of reputation. I remember in 2003 or so, sitting in...

Mar 18, 2025 – Just because we haven't heard anything from Georgia's hardest-hustling prosecutor doesn't mean she still isn't around.She is.Willis and her office are still in court tussling with judges and defense lawyers over the 2020 election-related fraud cases against now-President Trump and his co-defendants.While Willis herself was thrown off of the Trump...

Mar 17, 2025 – Trying to keep up with what passes for 'democracy' in Europe can be pretty confusing at times these days.When last we saw Romania, there were people in the streets angry that their favorite candidate - a 'right-wing' or 'hard-right' (your choice) - fellow named Calin Georgescu was leading in polls...

Mar 17, 2025 – I hope 'cuts off' didn't trigger anyone.So this is news, and welcome news at that. Also, the way Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins phrased it, the money saved will be going towards where it should have been going to begin with - to wounded and service-related disabled veterans.SOLD! tree...

Mar 17, 2025 – We're almost to the point now where the tit-for-tat over Special Counsel Robert Hur's report and his decision not to charge Joe Biden for mishandling classified documents because he was a doddering, dementia-ridden old man should be entered into evidence as Exhibit A.This was a sanctioned legal proceeding, was it...

Mar 17, 2025 – My small high school class was a cool bunch of characters - still is - and included a sophomore transfer named Jerry Doyle. This earned me some serious cred watching TV with Ebola and a friend one late night. There was something about that Garibaldi guy who I just couldn't...

Feb 21, 2025 – Well, it seems we have a battle of apples and oranges here.As my views on the Ukrainian sweater boy have always been pretty obvious - as well as my disgust with a fawning American media in a perpetual Zelensky-induced swoon - I will profess to being a bit put out...

Feb 21, 2025 – They still might be a little New England weird, but the state of New Hampshire hasn't completely lost that 'live free or die' feeling of old.Their legislature was well on the way to proving it again yesterday when the House approved a bill updating the state's energy policy. While it warmed the...

Feb 21, 2025 – In front of the Holocaust Memorial.Breaking News from GermanyA knife attacker has gone on the rampage in Berlin injuring several people next to the Holocaust memorial and a second person was arrested earlier for attempting an attack on the Israeli embassy..Now tell me JD Vance was wrong? pic.twitter.com/sywsRdHaFv— Make Britain...

Feb 21, 2025 – This is the cherry on top of Trump's power cabinet.Attorney General Pam Bondi said she wanted to 'hurry up and get him sworn in' because she was 'the happiest person today.'Oh, I'll bet.BREAKINGWe did it!!!!!! @Kash_Patel is President @realDonaldTrump’s Director of the FBI. @PamBondi pic.twitter.com/grVqDRlsnP— Sebastian Gorka DrG (@SebGorka) February...

Feb 20, 2025 – Well - ✅ CONFIRMED: @Kash_Patel as the 9th Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation pic.twitter.com/LAEZVGVhQL— Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) February 20, 2025Thank goodness it's done.🔥🔥🔥 pic.twitter.com/9aYCb3nWnS— JD Vance (@JDVance) February 20, 2025Squeaked through, but that's okay.Our new Director of the FBI @Kash_Patel 🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/zs6dJwWKYx— Senator Thom Tillis (@SenThomTillis) February 20,...

Feb 20, 2025 – This just happened today, and it's kind of wild.Florida has a new attorney general, in case you haven't heard. Our fabulous Ashley Moody was picked by America's finest governor, Ron DeSantis, to fill the Senate vacancy left when Marco Rubio was nominated for Secretary of State.DeSantis then chose his chief...

Feb 17, 2025 – The price you pay for living in what used to be paradise - California - besides the misery brought on themselves by voters are the environmental ones they can't control, and they only hope to mitigate, like fire and water.Earthquakes? Fuggedadboudit. Those are 'be prepared and pray you're in the...

Feb 17, 2025 – The hits keep coming even as CNN continues its quest to find the three people in America who voted for Trump and are really pissed at him right now.This is going to be harder to find than a six-word coherent sentence in a Kamala Harris appearance.Do you agree with whatever...

Mar 3, 2025 – Color me confused.I know the pro-Ukrainian lobby is deep and entrenched. But, as word broke of the counter-resistance meeting that was held (David has a great write-up on it here) before the now legendary Oval Office smackdown between Trump, Vance, and a petulant Voldomyr Zelensky, the outrage has been focused on...

Mar 3, 2025 – Welp. There goes the chatting with neighbors over the fence after work in the early evening.Q: "On the tariffs, is there any room left for Canada and Mexico to make a deal before midnight?"President Trump: "No room left for Mexico or for Canada. No. The tariffs you know, they're all...

Mar 3, 2025 – You guys thought England and Germany were bad?They are damn all birds of an authoritarian feather there in Europe, tell you what.So it should be no surprise to find out that the umbrella organization binding them all (with the exception of a crestfallen Labour government in the UK) together is...

Mar 3, 2025 – When fingers are pointing after a disaster, it is best to have ducks in a row before taking action. Especially if you are as culpable for the disaster's handling as the high-profile person you decide to fire to take the heat off of yourself, maybe even more so.That's what's happening...
