It has changed me forever — Have you ever seen someone die in person? Before June 25th, I never had. Witnessing it changed everything for me. Emotionally. Philosophically. Spiritually.

Donald Trump’s Georgia Indictment Will Finish Him, If It Gets There

This indictment reads like a thriller — I still don’t think Donald Trump will go to jail for any of the four (current) indictments against him.

The Payback Impeachment of Joe Biden

Is Kevin McCarthy out for vengeance or justice? — Kevin McCarthy announced he’s directing a House committee to open a formal impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden. He said he’s doing this for the “American public” and this fact-finding inquiry should “concern all Americans.” The only problem is that previous Republican-led probes on these very issues confirmed that Joe Biden…
