The GOP is The Most Dangerous Organization in America

guest opinion Opinion: Just cowards, enablers, and fascists in matching flag pins, Joan Westenberg writes Joan Westenberg 08 Apr 2025 3 min read The Republican Party is a hollow, decrepit husk. It is not a political movement. It is not a governing apparatus. It is not even an ideology with any internal coherence. It is a decaying vessel for a set of impulses: authoritarianism, greed, cruelty, nostalgia, and fear. And now, with the party marching in lockstep behind a man openly exploring how to violate the Constitution to seize a third term in office, it is fair to say the Republican Party...

Legalized Murder is OK; ONLY In America

Celebrating… || CEO Thompson || Victims of Policy || Operational Practices || Metrics Prove the Malady|| Progress No More || Where? Celebrating a Killer is the Wrong Response I’ve never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure.– Mark Twain It has been 45 days since an assailant with a 3-D printed gun shot and killed the CEO of United Healthcare on the streets of Manhattan. Immediately, before we even knew the name of the assailant, people were celebrating both the assassination and the supposed hero. Except — at least in my book — heroes do...

Saturday, December 21, 2024, is the Winter Solstice!

Some people like to say different, however the real reason for the season is Axial Tilt. Our pale blue dot spins on its axis with an inclination, a leaning, not at a right angle to the rays of the Sun. That tilt is 23.44 degrees, and as we move about the Sun, that tilt points in the same direction, giving us the Seasons. On the Winter Solstice, the lowest latitude where the Sun can appear directly overhead is called the Tropic of Capricorn. That is where it sits on the Winter Solstice and no other day of the year. In the...

Nikki Haley Will NOT Save the GOP

Her latest debate performance shows just how out of touch with reality she really is Former South Carolina Governor and Secretary of State Nikki Haley is, for some reason, over 20 points behind pussy-grabber DJTrump in the polls. And although she is nowhere near the threat to the republic he is, after watching the latest tete-a-tete with Desantis, I’ve changed my mind. Originally I thought if the primary comes to TX and DJT and her are on the ballot, I’d switch my party to the letter R, despairingly cast my vote for her as a bullet against DJT, then the next...

Oh, The HYPOCRISY . . .

On Nov. 30, a man named Marcus Lamb died of Covid-19 in a sleepy suburb of Fort Worth. He is a distant relative of mine, though I have never met him. He is, however, related to family members I truly, deeply love. My sincere sympathy for loss goes out to my affected family members. I know they grieve, thus in my heart I grieve for their sense of loss. The story of why I write this is a long and complicated one. I do not doubt Mr. Lamb was a sincerely well-meaning person, whose love of his specific deities and attached...

Better Breathing Through Politics

At times like this, I think of the axiom “Inhale the future, exhale the past”.  My own breathing since the end of January has been better than it had in the previous 4+ years.  Right now, I don’t even know where my Albuterol inhaler is hiding. Gone are the days where I would wake up and instantly pick up my cell phone and tap Flipboard to catch up on the news.  What mean, insulting, idiotic Tweet did DJTrump shit out at 3 in the morning from the porcelain throne?  What latest announcement of horrid policy has been or will be announced...

A Tune For The Holidays, 2020-Style

​”Let Us Grow” (to the tune of “Let It Snow”) Oh, the Covid out there is frightening But the truth within us is enlightening Together we’ve one place to go: Let us glow, let us grow, let us know The tragedy wouldn’t be stoppin’ If it not for the doctors microscopin’ The brights didn’t care about the show, Caring only on stopping the Covid on the go, Now we got a relieving liquid charm, How we need to get a shot in the arm, To get Covid a hurried alarm And reduce its horrid harm So the plague is slowly dying...

Trump Goes to Town Hall

The Town Hall hosted by George Stephanopoulos (I always have to copy and paste that name) on Tuesday night will hopefully open eyes for many “undecided” and even Republican voters.  It was both hilarious and terrifying that a sizable percentage of the American public still support someone so obviously ill-equipped, so thin-skinned, so wallowing in self-pity, craving of adulation, and even (as many in the mental health profession have stated) a “clear and present danger” 1 to democracy and this nation. And the Town Hall hopefully illustrated that better, straight from Trump’s own mouth, than we could have otherwise have hoped. ...

Trump’s Fatal Failure?

Where Stoppeth the Buck ? During the Truman administration, a small wooden sign was placed on the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office  reading “The Buck Stops Here”.1 What does that mean?
