Have you been following the Jay Jones saga? I's seriously considering leaving the AG vote blank. Which is worse, his driving record and texts or a MAGA AG?

The other question is where exactly do you set the time line. In what is now the United States...where 1776? Somewhere in the 1800's? 1920's. We are all the offspring of immigrants unless we can prove at least one of our ancestors was around prior to the European invades came to what is now US shores. Also where would you be deported to? England, Ireland, Germany? Italy.....

They are truly a Confederation of Dunces

We know who the REAL Terrorists are...

Today's JVL....I'd be happy to get on this train. Make it so Dems I’d couch the ask this way: Recent events have proven that American citizens in the District are uniquely vulnerable to abuses of power by the federal government. Statehood is required to protect residents from a president who would turn the force of the military on them. Make D.C. a state and we will bail you out of your incompetence. Otherwise, pound sand. If that’s too militant for you, there are other potential compromises. Some ideas: A legislative end to “Kavanaugh stops.” Ending qualified immunity for federal law enforcement officers. Mandating that federal law enforcement officers cannot wear masks and must display identifying badges/markings at all times. Closing the “emergency” loopholes that the administration has claimed for everything from tariffs to acts of war. Removing the secretary of state’s discretionary power to revoke visas. Or my personal favorite: Release all of the Epstein files. That’s right. We’ll bail out Republican incompetence after you release the Epstein files. All of them. https://www.thebulwark.com/p/democrats-how-you-can-win-the-shutdown-fight-trump-newsom?utm_campaign=email-post&r=45wcm&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email

So is beer Youngling or Yards?

Much better than what I'm seeing from "Real" Christian churches. But many of them don't seem to be Christian in the terms of following Christ's teachings.

That's what real Christians are supposed to do

Especially since they seem determined to ignore the Constitution

Culture warriors turn everything they don't understand into a five alarm fire. I'm surprised there isn't any more outcry about the Pope's comments this week

I will say that as a 73 year old I have no clue about Bad Bunny's music. The half time show has not interested me for years.

MAGA's are such snowflakes, they hate any sort of inclusion.

It's much more expedient to wait on instructions and talking points from his handlers

I really have no idea where this belongs but need to share it. Tim Miller and Ken Burns in conversation. A lot of it is about his upcoming documentary on the American Revolution, a few asides. Some thoughts about the state of our country, a splash of baseball as well. Take some time and enjoy https://www.thebulwark.com/p/ken-burns-you-have-to-be-a-bulwark?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email

Last time I checked he was a US Citizen. I'm not exactly in his demographic. However, my feeling is the NFL and its subsidiaries are private companies and we as private citizen/consumers have a choice (for now) whether or not to watch the halftime show. No citizens or organizations have the right arbitrarily ban such things.

This one slipped completely beneath my radar. This past Saturday at a restaurant bar near where my sister in law has a second home. Another former marine exercising his second amendment rights. To bad the administration and the majority party in Congress wants to cut programs that may have helped him and the guy in Michigan https://www.starnewsonline.com/story/news/2025/09/29/southport-nc-mass-shooting-3-dead-latest-nigel-edge-victim-ids/86419738007/ https://www.newsobserver.com/news/local/article312297067.html

I love the analogy Animal Farm definately applies to our current situation . https://www.thebulwark.com/p/animal-farm-never-gets-old-george-orwell-80-anniversary?utm_source=bluesky&utm_medium=The%2BBulwark&utm_campaign=publer
