I am taking a two week vacation.


Lord knows I need one.

A friend from high school that I haven't seen in 4 decades is the reason. He'll be arriving in a few days. He was like a big brother to me. In 1966 he joined the Marines. I wrote and saw him for years until we lost touch. Six years ago he found me on the Internet and contacted me. That's one of the many reasons I love the Internet.

I will post something daily if possible. Maybe a photo of us in front of a volcano and definitely a political meme.  Just can't help myself.

All the chaos Trump is causing is not only frightening but depressing to me. I don't know what to be upset about first. I just want out of this neverending crescendo.

Our only hope is that Democrats will sweep the midterms unless Robert Mueller puts a straight jacket on Trump instead of handcuffs first.

Don't get distracted by all the chaos, the Republicans want to cut medicare, social security and even sick people with pre existing conditions from their insurance coverage. Who the hell knows what else they will cut unless we have journalists?





Today's edition will be a short one.



Trump Plans To Cut And Paste The U.S. Constitution
President Donald Trump’s suggestion in an interview with Axios that he is considering an executive order to “terminate” birthright citizenship should be seen for what it is — a laughable, legally frivolous proposal designed to do little more than energize his base and distract his critics one week before the midterms.



Trump seems to get his legal advice from the same place he gets his hair done.

Wow. I  Wonder If Congress Will Investigate? HaHaHaHa.
An alleged scheme to pay off women to fabricate sexual assault allegations against Special Counsel Robert Mueller has been referred to the FBI for further investigation, a spokesman for the special counsel’s office told The Atlantic. “When we learned last week of allegations that women were offered money to make false claims about the Special Counsel, we immediately referred the matter to the FBI for investigation,” the spokesman, Peter Carr, told me in an email on Tuesday.

Pretty cool that the right wing dirty tricksters figured out a way to remind everyone about the Mueller investigation a week before the election. - Schooley

Jews are our elder brothers in faith. For a Christian to be anti-semitic is not only evil but extremely idiotic. Jesus was a Jew. It is beyond me how anyone could claim a faith founded upon Judaism with a Jewish messiah and yet hate Jews. Baffling. Moronic. Wicked. - Matt Walsh





This Is A Letter From George Washington To A Jewish Congregation In Rhode Island
The Citizens of the United States of America have a right to applaud themselves for giving to Mankind examples of an enlarged and liberal policy: a policy worthy of imitation. All possess alike liberty of conscience and immunities of citizenship. It is now no more that toleration is spoken of, as if it was by the indulgence of one class of people that another enjoyed the exercise of their inherent natural rights.

For happily the Government of the United States, which gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance, requires only that they who live under its protection, should demean themselves as good citizens.

May the Children of the Stock of Abraham, who dwell in this land, continue to merit and enjoy the good will of the other Inhabitants; while everyone shall sit under his own vine and fig tree, and there shall be none to make him afraid.

May the father of all mercies scatter light and not darkness in our paths, and make us all in our several vocations useful here, and in his own due time and way everlastingly happy.


Guys maybe it was a mistake to let a walking hate crime be president - Jeff Tiedrich
