From a mining town; still love getting beneath the surface of things.

Idiot boy panders to GM employees by claiming he's buying 250 new Escalades. Meanwhile, USPS trucks, in service since 1987, are conking out from the wear and heat. Where we headed?

The fact that not only are we selling tracts of our beautiful national parks to INTERNATIONAL mining companies, but also bringing back (previously banned) murdering wildlife by cyanide injections hidden in bait to rid said parks of natural wildlife is literally making me nauseous from anger.

Its funny how everyone's idea of heaven is a complete untouched paradise, crystal clear waters, lush green forests, enough food for everyone, classless, moneyless, stateless, a Utopia of peace, unity and happiness. But here on earth it's considered a leftist ideology.

What does a dying old man need another $2 billion for? It won't help him live longer - it doesn't delay the inevitable. There are no prizes awarded in the afterlife for naked greed.

There are 53 million Catholics in America. That's 20% of the American electorate. Many millions more have a working moral compass, and understand that this man has none.

Was thinking this morning with deep cynicism about the Trump administration. Thinking we planned this war with Iran in the knowledge that they would close the Strait of Hormuz, so we buffered ourselves in advance by invading Venezuela and taking their oil. Let the world fend for itself...

Regarding the tariff opinion, Trump is calling the Supreme Court majority members "fools" and "lap dogs," and the original plaintiffs "real slimeballs." Only he, the great Drumph, is in the right. So he claims to apply another 10% universal tariff. That'll show em!

"NYT’s Peter Baker noted that Bezos could absorb even $100 million annual losses for five straight years with just a week of his income if he so chose." - Politico Same man that ok'ed a $90million kneel on film to the Trumps. Democracy dies in just this kind of darkness.

— Indiana Republicans stiff-arm Trump on a push to redraw state maps. I pledge to cheer for every team associated with Indiana for the next month. Go Pacers! Go you Colts, Huzzah for the Hoosiers! We need more states with the gumption to do the right thing.

DJT announced a rebuild of the golf courses at Andrews AFB, naming Jack Nicklaus to do redesign. This also happened today: Nicklaus Co. files for bankruptcy after $50 million loss in court With no company, is it 85 year old Nicklaus alone doing the work? Smells fishy, like much around Trump.

The NYT this morning attempted to explain a growing "insubordination" to Trump by congressional Republicans. One branch of government is, by charter, co-equal with the other two, not subordinate to either of them. Words matter.

Plodding through Slow Horses, unentertained and unenlightened by Lamb's constant profanity. Otherwise ok, but why the saturation of expletives in crime shows on HBO, Netflix, Apple, etc? Anything, overdone, loses impact and becomes dull. Poor writer's crutch for a character's emotion or vocabulary?

Here's the problem. They just raised their base subscription rate from $18 to $23 per month. Unwarranted. Hey, you want news? Subscribe to your local paper before it's gone.

“We’re working around the clock to ensure that justice is served and also as part of the oversight to figure out why justice has been delayed for so long,” Johnson said. (Politico 10/21/25) He may have to call for the usual suspects, which makes me realize who he reminds me of...

Our national debt now equals our GDP. Interest paid on that debt is now nearly a trillion per year. DOGE, despite thousands of lost American jobs, failed to reduce any of this.
