I'm the real Don Johnson. USAF Veteran 1971-1975. Yes, I'm old - 73. I worked in high tech in the SF Bay Area for 40+ years. I retired in 2022 after working remotely for 5 years from Portland, OR. I don't miss it at all. No DMs. No Porn.

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. The seventh richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

There have been 14 election fraud cases that have had the results overturned by a US Court. All but one have been local elections. The one Federal election was in North Carolina, District 9, in 2018. Why hasn't MAGA submitted evidence in a court of law on ANY election results? cus there isn't any.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Ford has rehired hundreds of senior engineers after replacing them with AI backfired and has cost the company billions of dollars. AI adoption is blamed for Ford being the most recalled automaker in the U.S. with 51 recalls covering over 11 million vehicles in the first half of 2026 alone.

This July 4th, remember: The world's oldest functioning democracy is Iceland. Iceland’s parliament, the Althing, first began operating in 930 AD at Þingvellir. It was later abolished in 1800 and re-established in 1845. It was brought down in 1800 when Denmark (Monarchist) conquered Iceland.

I just voted in the California primary! Seems apropos to post this cool street art on #TagTuesday #BlueTue designed by The Chicago Mosaic School and created by students in one of their large scale mosaic workshops, a course I thoroughly enjoyed. Can’t recommend them enough. #ECK

Glass mosaic mural with quilted background and black letters that spell vote.

Iran didn't close the Strait of Hormuz, The US Navy didn't close the Strait. The world's Insurance companies closed the Strait by refusing to write policies covering losses due to warfare.

the closing statement of the Declaration of Independence, reads: "And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor." They were committing treason against the King.
