When I was a kid, Catholics were not supposed to eat fish or meat on Good Friday. Then one day, God sent Pope John Paul II an uneqivocal, incontrovertible signal flare. And he announced that we could eat fish on Good Friday. And here we are. Involuntary pescatarians.

A Jeanine Pirror ouster by Trump would be a blathering shame because of all the drunken judges out there, she's easily my favorite.
UPDATE: Liar-In-Chief Trump now reportedly considering removing Jeanine Pirro because she dropped the baseless charges against an Olympian and admitted Trump screwed up the reflecting pool, not “vandals”
The quandary of being an American in current times: Whenever other countries or world leaders take a stand against my corrupt government, I applaud and cheer. I also die a little more inside . . .
No progress will transpire; no reform will take root, until SCOTUS is reformed. SCOTUS has been captured by tycoons aligned with the GOP. It has anointed itself as a super-legislature, overturning statutes passed by Congress, e.g. the Voting Rights Act. It is unaccountable and nakedly partisan.
Maine. I am blue. You're blue. We must parley. Susan Collins paved the way for Justice Kavanaugh to join SCOTUS on Oct. 6, 2018. On Nov. 3, 2020, you re-elected Collins, despite knowing what was coming. On June 24, 2022, SCOTUS overturned Roe v. Wade. On Nov. 3, 2026, help Susan skip away.
🇺🇦President Zelenskyy: The world has Patriot missiles. What matters now is for our partners to make the political decision to provide the necessary packages. The United States knows what we need. Europe knows what we need. Anti-ballistic missiles must protect people – not sit in stockpiles.
The Reflecting Pool; a reflection of the cesspool which is this putrid regime. US Attorney Jeanine Pirro must be green around the gills to match the algae as Trump denounces her decision to drop the frivolous lawsuit against an Olympian, no less . . . www.cnn.com/2026/08/01/p...
Trump’s Reflecting Pool debacle takes a predictably scandalous turn | CNN Politics
Nothing about what happened Friday, when the Justice Department dropped its case against a purported Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool vandal, was completely surprising.

I've lived in the UK. It's much the same. Fox News attempted to establish a presence there but was not allowed. The ability of the media to deceive ensures that Americans no longer drink from the same fountain, figuratively. People no longer believe facts here. It has destroyed us.
In Canada, we have strict standards for truth in journalism
To be fair, the Pumpkin Palpatine did keep his promise to drain the swamp, in a manner of speaking.
The Trump regime had already been doling out cash in shady 'legal' deals. Mike Flynn - who had pleaded guilty - received $1.2 million. Ashli Babbit's family received $4.975 million. The slush fund for insurrectionists is the natural escalation from the status quo. www.cnn.com/2026/07/31/p...

Never has a political candidate of any sort been booed off the stage as viciously is Ohio gubernatorial candidate, Vivek Ramaswamy. He's fast learning with MAGA that although salamanders and snakes may congregate, one is still a reptile, the other an amphibian . . . www.reddit.com/r/Ohio/comme...

African countries collectively heave a sigh of relief despite finding that they are now the recipients of the Pumpkin Palpatine's mammalian malice, instead of humanitarian aid from USAID. But they can effectively hide from him, as the man and his regime have trouble locating them on a map . . .
"A US government map of Africa mislabeled every country during a state department presentation at a global conference in Brazil this week, causing a stir among attenders who took screenshots and posted them online."
Sean Hannity's eulogy of Lindsey Graham: "Lindsey, Mr President, I would argue in my mind, probably has a heavenly version of Mar-a-Lago. It may even be a little bigger. He may have a little more gold in the Oval Office in his office in heaven." Dear Lord. The buffoonery. youtu.be/kUEJhI1w9Qs?...

Senator Rand Paul's sacrificial lamb, though stretched out and supine on the altar, quite simply refused to die on the slab . . . Meanwhile, the Senator's neighbor extends his kindly regards . . .
Fauci accuses Rand Paul of having an "unhinged obsession with calling for my prosecution" and of making "repeated slanderous comments," then says "although it pains me to do so... under advice of my attorneys, I will invoke my right under the 5th Amendment to refrain from answering your questions."
Evil is always bold, for it must operate in defiance of its apparent and transparent conscience. Decency is often timid, for its course is habitually plagued by reflection and introspection. For decency to survive, it must care less, in order to care more . . .
Today is another one of those uncomfortable times where I find myself looking wistfully back at the Bush Administration.
Not as easy as it might sound. But rectifying our democracy is a heavy lift nowadays under Trump's weight. Beshear must grab this elephant by those tusks with which it has wreaked such grievous havoc on the countryside, and appoint a replacement. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

1.58 billion blacks live in African. Yet a Tarzan, a white male, emerged as King of the Jungle. And Sheena, a white female riding a zebra, emerged as Queen of the Jungle. To say nothing of a white Queen Cleopatra of Egypt. A black Helen of Troy is both reasonable and seasonable . . .
