Feel the Energy!
Kamala nailed the VP pick. The genuine camaraderie between her and Tim Walz is palpable. He is the politician who started the whole weird thing, which really seems to have struck a nerve. I think he can pull older white people who are republican but can’t quite get behind

SCOTUS Reform
Biden follows through. This is a critical issue for the country as the supreme court is completely corrupt. FACT SHEET: President Biden Announces Bold Plan to Reform the Supreme Court and Ensure No President Is Above the Law Of course, not going to happen unless there is a D majority

Energized
It is less than a month since the debate and how things have changed. My feeling of apprehension over Biden stepping down has been replaced with one of optimism. It’s encouraging to see everyone rally around Kamala Harris. Now the age shoe is on the other foot as the

The American Experiment is not Going Well (Part 7)
This really could be “The American Experiment is not Going Well (Part 6) Part 2” but let’s call it Part 7. This was quite a week. SCOTUS started of with a doozy, that gratuities (bribery) for public officials after the fact are legal. The courts and local governments are

Debate
I didn’t watch the debate. I can’t tolerate watching TFG and hearing his whiny voice. From what I gather it went as expected, although it sounds like Sleepy Joe was real sleepy. Trump spouted one lie after another but was more energetic. His base will be happy. Personally,

I Can't Wait for November
It will soon be time for this country to finally decide to end Trump or not. I know what way I want this to go, but if the US decides to bring back a tin pot dictator who’s incompetence knows no rival, who will loot the treasury and destroy

April Fools
Such an anachronism. So many of the people in this country are tuned into Fox “News” and other misinformation and conspiracy theory promoting outlets that fooling is happening daily, to millions of people. May you live in interesting times indeed.

Idiocracy
I admit to double taking on this one. Pausing when reading and thinking “that can’t be true”, but after doing the research realizing that yes, this is true. HISD to eliminate librarians, turn libraries into discipline centers at 28 campuses Yes, Houston’s largest school district is getting rid

Trump's Indictment
After reading summaries the indictment is a pretty open and shut case and probably the worst handling of secret information in all of history. There was an opportunity for the GOP candidates to unify and commit to the rule of law and by doing so jettison him but the party

The American Experiment is not Going Well (Part 6)
The Supreme Court is quite something. Thomas has been on the take from his billionaire friend for years. Gorsuch sold property to the CEO of a law firm arguing cases before of the court. Let’s also not forget that Scalia who died in 2016 did so at a luxury

Merrick Garland and The Rule of Law
It’s very encouraging to see action from Merrick Garland these last few days. First, not Trump, but the Breonna Taylor case where finally Federal charges were brought by the DOJ against the officers. The officers who used false claims to justify the no-knock warrant that led to them killing
