Trump Is Definitely A Sadist and Probably A Masochist, Too.
More than 252 Venezuelans expelled to El Salvador under Donald Trump’s mass deportation policy suffered systematic and prolonged torture and abuse, including sexual assault, during their detention, according to a report published on Wednesday.



Editor's note on torture

In 1971 I took a psych class on the effects of positive and negative reinforcement. We studied torture and we studied the studies on torture that were done post World War II by the US government, colleges and universities around the world. And they basically came to the same conclusion, that there was no way to know if information gathered from torture was true. Hence, torture was deemed barbaric and not effective compared to other positive methods that did gather correct information. Like offering a cigarette as opposed to pulling out fingernails. 

So when George W. Bush said torture was okey dokey, I knew in my heart that it would only harm the USA's reputation and it did. Deservedly so.

Do you know who didn't succumb to years of torture? The late great John McCain.







Trump’s former Chief of Staff John Kelly confirms that Trump called American service members “suckers” and “losers,” refused to visit their graves, and that he didn’t want to be seen with amputee veterans because “it doesn’t look good for me”







Michael Fanone: "I hope no American has to experience what I experienced. I've gone from dedicating 20 years of my life to the profession of law enforcement only to become a victim of the DOJ and our criminal justice system and have nowhere to seek relief."

From Pura Vida to Pura Cocaina?
A new report paints a stark picture of organized crime tightening its hold on Costa Rica. The 2025 Global Organized Crime Index shows our country’s criminality score climbing to 5.90, placing it 58th out of 193 nations worldwide and 13th among 35 in the Americas. This marks a notable jump from prior assessments, driven by a sharp rise in criminal groups, deeper international connections, and persistent corruption.

Veterans Day 2025



It's a Veterans Day they won't soon forget. 
On a balmy 70-degree day in the nation's capital this past weekend, former President Barack Obama boarded an Honor Flight filled with veterans of the Korean and Vietnam wars that had just touched down from Madison, Wisconsin. 
"Hello, everybody," his voiced boomed over the loud speaker. 
"What!" exclaimed one person. Another veteran gasped, his mouth wide open.



Thank you for your service is not sufficient.
Thank you for your service with all of my heart is.

If you're wondering why I am showing you an easel....well, I bought this one over the weekend for $30 at a discount store in Liberia. Very nice finish, foldable but it came without instructions. So when I returned home,  I googled the only sticker on the box which said, item # G85. I checked Google images and there it was, for sale on Amazon for $522.15. I'm thrilled as I am saving $ to enclose my back porch when the dry season arrives.



Peace and quiet.
