Trump Critics Erupt?
Trump Critics Erupt. Not this one.
What’s the point of reacting to this buffoonery?
Our president is a sick clown. We all know that.

How Liars and Crackpots Threaten Us All
The words in yellow at left come from Neil Stone, doctor of infectious diseases, in rebuttal of those of RFK, Jr.
Coincidentally, I have a fine friend from boyhood who’s also an infectious diseases doctor, and even more coincidentally, he tells his former classmates essentially the same thing: these vaccines have been rigorously tested for both safety and efficacy.
The most lethal disease threatening our society is our appetite to elect bald-faced liars and crackpots who reject science, and bid us all to follow along.

What Breakfast Is Supposed to Contain
Sorry, but I didn’t know that breakfast was supposed to be constructed of products that come from large mammals. Did this come from the bible?
When you go downstairs to breakfast from your hotel room in Tokyo, you’re greeted with dozens of different types of fish. Is this wrong in some way? What about the New Yorkers with their sour cream, capers, and lox? Are the most sophisticated people on Earth going to an eternity of torture in hell for dietary habits that don’t conform to those of the people in Oklahoma?
Seems unlikely. Of course, I live in a country in which Trump enjoys an approval rating north of 40%. So anything’s possible.
I’d also be curious to know what one’s supposed to do with the stick of butter. Inject it directly into his coronary arteries?

Who ARE These People?
As previously discussed, there are tens of millions of American voters whose loyalty to Trump is independent of anything the man says or does, regardless of how clearly insane and overtly damaging to our nation and its people.
This simply couldn’t have happened as recently as 15 years ago.
Trump’s First Hundred Days
There are some people who think that this country has just experienced “100 days of greatness,” but there sure as hell aren’t many of them.

What Does It Mean to Say that America Is a “Free” Country?
I think we’re a better country than North Korea, but it may be worth a few minutes to understand why.
For one, and this is made explicit in our Constitution, we’re a country whose people are guaranteed a free exchange of ideas, and are not forced to be swallow state propaganda.
Some of think that’s a pretty solid concept. That’s especially true of those who risked their lives for their country, and the families that lost loved ones in the process of defending it.
It would interesting to know how many loyal Americans would like to knock Steven Miller’s teeth out.
How Our Representatives Get Rich
The reader who submitted the idea at left writes: Let’s go back to this!
My response:
It isn’t a bad idea, but it’s a fairly inconsequential one. Our representatives’ (legal) compensation structure is nothing compared to what they take home thanks to raw corruption: bribery, insider trading, and accepting massive campaign contributions from obscenely wealthy donors in exchange for favorable legislation.
All this creates huge incentive to hold onto those seats, which, in today’s climate means going along with Trump and his lunatic criminality.
Canadians Have Seen the Light — Now It’s Our Turn
Bernie Sanders makes a good point at left, but it would be great if we in the States could rid ourselves of this whole Trump – Musk – DOGE garbage long before the next election.

Franklin: Ignorance Is Expensive
What Ben Franklin says here makes sense. In particular:
We don’t want to live among hateful morons, not only because they’re repulsive, but because such people, when given the right to vote, tend to elect demagogues, aka criminal sociopaths. If you look around America in the year 2025, you’ll see what I mean.
Ignorance is more explicitly expensive when it comes to the costs imposed on a society of under- and unemployable people, associated with the damage they do to others, and then the prosecution and warehousing of criminals in prison.

Is This a Good Clean Energy Investment?
Well, first let’s answer a vitally important question: What is it? What exactly do these people do?
To find the answer requires some work; it’s not revealed anywhere close to the top of their website.
It turns out, it’s solar PV on the roof and a battery in the garage. Yes, like Tesla’s Powerwall and dozens upon dozens of competitors.
If you’re convinced that there is something–anything–unique about this approach, jump on in. I won’t be following you.
Btw, I don’t think it was an accident that it took me a good 5 – 10 minutes to find what these people actually do, and I resent efforts to deceive me.
