As shown at left, there is a certain segment of Americans who believe that black history (slavery, Jim Crow, segregation, and the systemic racism that exists today) has no place being taught in our schools.
I was hoping that the opposition to Critical Race Theory would be a passing phase among hateful morons, but my hopes are being dashed.
Below is a compilation of quotes from a few of our country’s top military leaders on the character of Donald Trump. Yet the fact that they are uniformly unflattering, to put it kindly, seems to make little difference to the U.S. electorate.
Former college basketball star and math teacher extraordinaire Joe Turk (shown at left) offers “13 of his ‘major’ lies and we’re not even two months in.
I’ve written that many, but not all, Trump supporters will eventually see the light and realize that their leader has become a dictator, and that’s not part of the American way. The words at left are what I’m referring to.
There are people who will think it’s just fine if:
• The free press is shut down, and only favorable media is permitted to operate.
• The president/king can, and frequently does, have his political opponents jailed.
• The rights of women and all minorities are stripped away.
• The United States abandons its ties with its historic allies in Europe and now sides with Russia, one of the most barbaric and anti-democratic nations on Earth.
Until about 15 years ago, before the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) associated with solar and wind began to plummet, the world had high hopes for the renewable energy technologies collectively known as hydrokinetics, i.e., extracting the kinetic energy out of moving water. Nowadays, however, at least as far as I’m aware, no one is working in this area.
Of course, there is no rule that says you can’t spend your own money in any way you wish. However, what you’re going to run into in ocean current or any of the other flavors of hydrokinetics, e.g., wave, tidal, or run-of-river, is the old adage, “If you don’t care how much you pay per kilowatt of electricity, I’ll get you all the renewable energy you could possibly imagine.”
I’m fairly certain that the story here about the Japanese is false. Either that or it’s 15 years old.
Below we have the words of American singer/songwriter James Taylor, in which he expresses his disgust for his country’s stabbing Ukraine and NATO in the back. A sickening moment, to be sure.
At left we see the driving force behind the pullback of Trump supporters.
A full one-third of voters in the poorest, reddest states are on Medicaid. Yes, that’s a lot of ignorance, but it’s also a lot of outrage when these fools start dropping like flies once their healthcare is gone.
Given the developments here in the United States whereby Trump and Musk are destroying the federal government while shifting support from Ukraine/NATO to Russia, it’s understandable that Americans are terrified that their country has become a dictatorship.
That said, most (not all) Trump supporters will eventually refuse to back such a blatantly un-American regime.
I hope readers caught Robert Reich’s piece in which he outlines 10 reasons for “modest optimism.”
No, destabilizing our government’s capacity to protect Americans’ health and safety is not a good thing.
This is a coup.
