Let’s see what we should focus on today. The POS currently sullying the White House is blaming bad management on California’s part for the disastrous fires there. Aside from the fact that his warm and fuzzy thoughts to survivors seem to be missing from this statement, there is a lot of ignorance showing since he clearly doesn’t know it’s federal management on most of those lands.

Or should we focus on the fact that POS called off a visit to honor WW I fallen heroes because it was raining out. I guess it’s true. Warlocks as well as witches melt Continue reading →

All this bull crap about working together suddenly being important for the nation has me wanting to barf. Why? Because you are asking decent Americans who actually have morals and integrity to work with an administration that wants to undo the 14th Amendment with a pen stroke, that is destroying the 1st Amendment with its actions and that is sending armed soldiers to meet refugees fleeing with not much more than the clothes on their backs.

Exactly what part of that am I supposed to work together with the other side to reach a compromise?

We have been told by Continue reading →

So are we safer yet? Have all the guns and assault rifles made us safer yet? Because that’s what gun advocates and the NRA has been telling us for years. Put enough guns in enough hands and no one will dare shoot and, if they do, they will be killed by everyone shooting back. School, church, outdoor concert – doesn’t matter where. Just arm everyone to the nth degree and then sit back and watch the safety happen…

Funny thing is, in those countries with strict gun control laws, mass shootings hardly ever happen. Countries like England and Sweden, democracies, Continue reading →

And so with the end of day today, we say goodbye to political ads until at least January when the first ads for the 2020 campaign show up on our TVs and radios. A full two months of peace and quiet broken only by the incessant noise that is called Christmas music. This music starts sometime in October, gets a full head of steam by mid-November and by Christmas, Grandma got run over by at least a 1000 reindeer and the Baby Jesus had a million days of Christmas sung to him. And I swear to god, I just want Continue reading →

So a section of a marching high school band in Georgia went on the field with the covers on their instruments still in place. The covers each had a letter spelling out the team’s nickname – the Broncos. But this sousaphone section had a more fun idea. They eliminated the b and r and rearranged the remaining letters to form a racial slur.

Now I don’t know about you but if I or any of my siblings or cousins participated in something like that, our mothers would have come down from the stands, grabbed us by the short hairs and Continue reading →

I have not missed voting in any election I can remember from the time I was first eligible to vote. I grew up knowing that my family came from Italy to make a better life for themselves and that it was America that allowed us to do so. And I was raised to believe I should honor America and what it stood for and voting was absolutely essential to doing that. So I vote every time there is an election.

I’ve never understood the people who don’t vote. Do they really just not give a shit? Do they really think Continue reading →

If there is any good in the amount of political advertising currently barfing all over our TV and radio stations, it is this. Because of them, no one has started playing Christmas music yet.

It’s not much but it’s something. Continue reading →

I can’t believe that anyone who believes in America or our common humanity with the world is not horrified that the POS currently sullying the White House is stating that he will meet rock throwing with bullets. What the hell have we become?

These are asylum seekers walking – WALKING – thousands of miles to try and find some peace and freedom. How do we expect our soldiers to look at those unarmed people and fire their guns? How do we expect our soldiers to hold on to any hope of being honorable and decent human beings if ordered to Continue reading →

I don’t know about you, but I don’t need to see any coverage of another Donald Trump white racist rally. They are all the same. I’ve seen it before. And that POS revels in the publicity it gets him. So the question has to be asked: Why does the media still cover this shit?

I understand why Fox News covers it. They are the ones laying out the game plan that leads to all these rallies. Their puppet king is doing exactly what they tell him to do during the 8 hours a day he listens to them. But why Continue reading →

My grandparents came to this country undocumented. All my grandparents. Both sides. No exceptions. Came here illiterate and mostly unskilled. Brought with them nothing more than a desire to make a better life for themselves and the determination to work as hard an necessary to do that.

All their children were born in America before they became citizens. So, under the current POS sullying the White House, my parents would not have been American citizens even though they were born here. And that would mean that I wasn’t an American.

Quite frankly, given who is running (ruining) this country right Continue reading →
