From Richard Gephardt, who represented Missouri in the United States House from 1977 to 2005 and served as House Democratic Leader from 1989 to 2003, and Tim Wirth: “The White House has declined to rule out using lethal force against U.S. citizens designated as members of domestic terrorist organizations, while Trump has fired most of …

Battle Hymn for a Dying Republic
America, rise up. For God’s sake. Save yourself. Save the country. Save the world. This is ridiculous. This country has elected a man who is basically fundamentally insane. He is so destructive. If he is allowed to continue, he will totally destroy the country. Americans, wake up. I keep saying that we pay the members …
Ring Around The Rosie
We, the people, elect the congress and the senate. We pay the members of the congress and the senate and we pay them for their entire lives. What other job pays a person for their entire life? They are hired by us to do the job. The job is to serve the people of the …
Doctor Doctor
Medicine in America today is shot to hell. If you have an emergency and require quick medical attention, the doctor will tell you to go to the emergency room. In the emergency room you can lie around for 24 hours with little to no attention or food and at the end of it all you …

Trump Toots his Tooter
Three attempts on Trump’s life have failed. What a pity. He can’t even hire a good assassin. After all, John F. Kennedy was cleanly assassinated sitting in a car with a number of other people and he was picked out of the crowd and assassinated. Bobby Kennedy was assassinated. An attempt was made on Reagan’s …
Screeching to a Halt
This is a repost, because nothing has changed on the New York streets: The noise in New York City has become deafening. There is no reason in this world for people to be allowed to put their hand on the horn of their car and keep it there – beeping away at immovable traffic. There …
The Time Has Come
It seems as though A.I. could take over the job market creating huge numbers of unemployed men and women in the US, possibly in the rest of the world as well. This means that vast numbers of human beings will be unemployed. Maybe this is saying that we need fewer people in the world; starting …
