Hanging Out with Trump Supporters
Obviously, there are biker bars, ammo shops and the like that cater to Trump supporters, but this looks like a resort.
Just where is it? I sure want to vacation with intellectuals like these two.

Anger Drives Republican Voters
FWIW, I don’t believe that the people making a big deal about Critical Race Theory intend to bring slavery back to the United States. My position is that CRT is simply a device that is effective in making stupid people angry. And guess what? No anger equals huge losses for the Republicans.
Show me a Trump supporter who isn’t angry about (pick one–or all): the border/immigration, abortion, wokeism, government handouts, Biden’s position (on anything), the “weaponing of the justice system” against Trump, the stolen election, the “liberal media,” Hunter’s laptop and the Biden crime family, etc.

Assessing Trump as November Approaches
From the November Coalition:
Donald Trump says he thinks Americans like it when he says he’s willing to suspend the Constitution. The comment appears in a just-published Time Magazine interview on what a second Trump presidency would look like. In the interview, Trump says he will launch a deportation campaign impacting millions of immigrants on day one. And, he is willing to use the U.S. military to do it. He reasons that he is not bound by the Posse Comitatus Act, the law that traditionally restricts the use of military force against civilians, because “they’re not civilians.”
The interview is filled with Trump’s threats, promises, and lies covering deportations, criminal justice, and potential violence if he loses the next election. It’s a chilling reminder that only four of the 44 cabinet members who served in Trump’s White House have endorsed him. How can we not heed the warnings of the people closest to Trump?

Trump and Minnesota
The main problem Trump faces in Minnesota is The Twin Cities, population 2.99 million out of the total 5.72 million. These are educated, sophisticated people, most of whom recognize Trump as the criminal conman he is.

Arbor Day
Happy belated Arbor Day, everyone! (April 24th)
Good opportunity to bring you a few words on trees by a former president of the United States.

We’re in the Goldilocks Zone
The illustration here calls to mind the benefit of being 93 million miles from our nearest star–neither too close nor too far to support life.
That distance also supports solar energy; we receive 6000 times more power from the sun than all eight billion of us are using.
Patriotism
At left is the rationale for thinking of ourselves as “citizens of the world.”
To be proud that I, by virtue of absolutely nothing I have done, hail from a certain country that I believe to be superior to the other 205 sovereign nations on Earth, is stupidity at its finest.
Especially when the country in question has by far the strongest military power of the globe, extreme levels of patriotism result in serious problems on a global scale.

Republicans’ Dilemma
At left, former Georgia lieutenant governor Geoff Duncan expresses the decision he’s made in confronting the choice everyone in the GOP must make re: the 2024 presidential election.
Isn’t this is an indication that Trump is toast in 2024? There are traditional Republicans who will vote for Biden (or at least won’t vote for Trump) because their conscience prohibits their supporting a criminal sociopath. But how many traditional Democrats, countrywide, will vote for Trump?
I suppose we need to acknowledge that, every four years, there are lifelong Democrats who become old and angry. They come across Fox News, and wind up thinking that what’s on Hunter’s laptop holds the key to impeaching the kingpin of the Biden crime family. But this group cannot possibly approach the number of people like Duncan, a Republican with both a heart and a mind who understands the gravity of what’s at stake here.
Who the United States Is as a Nation
The meme here sounds great, but let’s be realistic. About the best we can hope for is a country with one set of laws that apply to everyone, and a government that delivers valuable services, like education and healthcare, to its people.
There is no reason to expect people who are wired for hatred and ignorance to change their basic personalities.

Why Trump Won’t Change
He is old, but that’s not the reason he won’t change.
Rather, it’s that his lifetime MO of lying and cheating has never once let him down.
Even now, with the 88 felony charges against him, he may be successful in getting the SCOTUS to grant him immunity. Or, if he gets re-elected, he could order the Justice Department to drop the charges, even pardon himself.
We’re a long way from justice here.
