A Blog for the People... + one.
Be still, and know that...
Party Pete** is storming the Philippines!
(I pray he doesn't preach to us about the Bataan Death March... Some history is best left to be read*, not by preaching while doing push-ups in your red-white-and-blue boxers, man. Take the hint?)

* Educated people who can apply knowledge gained start to see similarities in the way Netanyahu is marching the Palestinian prisoners (and they're all prisoners at this point, really...) around the region, mercilessly picking them off here and there, and just watching fellow humans drop. #NeverAgain
** I really don't like JD's wife and children "riding along" for his visit to the US base in Greenland, but oh, for liability reasons alone, we should all be hoping the current Mrs. Hegseth and ALL his children are accompanying Daddy on this trip, just to keep him honest and as an escort party back to his own hotel room every night. "Don't let daddy pete out of your sight!!" #TrackRecord,Babe #DontLeaveAFutureBabyBehind,Pete... #DaddyWon'tReturn
(he really has a lot in common with hunter biden , except for the choice of drug and dress-up suit/costume. Same character type, really...imho #Entitled #NeededAGoodSpankinHeNeverGot)
HRC in today's NYT (not linking here):
"I visited 112 countries and traveled nearly one million miles as America’s top diplomat..."
This is as dumb as JD, wife and kids putting in "butts in the seats" frequent flier miles* to... protect our nation? Engage in "diplomacy"? (fund your family vacay's on the US taxpayers' dimes??)
For all HRC's alleged travels to ... "build goodwill/nation-build"??, look where the world is now. Trump didn't create this. You left us this, you globalist!. And now... the younger generations here in America are forced to clean up. Domestically... and Internationally, while innocent children pay the price of your "diplomatic work".
We're resentful, don't you get it??? Gtf out of our faces now; your time has passed to be in public preaching and denigrating the ... "fighting men".
#NAFTA and #MonicaLewinsky will be your husband's legacy. (you never developed a career independent of "supporting" his early political success and thus will be forever intertwined in the history books in how you both failed our nation...)

* I bet she had perfect attendance in grade school, and did ALL the extra-curricular clubs in HS too. #NotTheFlexYouThink #GetTheFOutOfTheSpotlightAlready #DidYOUvisitEpsteinIslandWithYourHusband hm.
when Congress chooses to abdicate its responsibilities for DECADES, don't expect another branch not to step up and fill the void. If you want to be the "show" branch, continue the precedent of a Do-Nothing Congress of wealthy folk out of touch with the American people, the work still needs to be done... Duh.
(How old is Susan again? She's determined to die in office, like RBG, eh? #Sad)
Navel-gazing in public is not pretty, friends. Go figure it out, and come back when you have the answer. We'll wait...
Why has fighting and opposing Trump proved so hard? It’s not just because Republicans hold all the cards in government.
The former first lady penned an editorial for them today.
(they're not even trying to reform the party to win, are they? Like John Candy was told in Trains Planes and Automobiles... "You're. Going. The. WRONG. Way!!"
They just can't learn, something about old dogs is called to mind...
Unleash the young pups, and I don't mean the David Hogg/Ezra Klein types who helped lead the party to where we are... #PeopleAin'tPlayingTheseGamesAnymore #YouDon'tThinkItCanGetWorse? #LieDownAndPlayDead?? Cmon, bunnies, think! Retire the old guard (and that includes the Butteigigs, and anybody remotely connected to the Biden administration...
#IfNotNow, When??
or just take his money and vote for independence? Plenty of stock remains outside the urban areas not impressed by rich men with money buying them off cheap to give up their freedoms...
#GDIndepenent
#WhatMakesTheGreenBayPackersDifferentFromEveryOtherNFLTeam? (do you know, Elon? ;-) and no, that's not "do you know Elon?" There's a difference educated people will understand. GBP fans too, I suspect... We like Trump, but #NotImpressedWithAManicSouthAfrikannerTurnedAmerican... No offense.
What a luxury it is to live your life every looking backwards, not even seeing what it happening while you are distracted. Plus, they travel in a pack now! The Dems are gifting the administration with distractions. #EyesOnThePrize
... or, Not "Kids" Anymore...
Out & about
Celebrated artists and actors, including Bruce Springsteen,
Michael Stipe and Scarlett Johansson, took the stage in tribute.
visiting the U.S. air base in Greenland in a joint appearance on vacation before returning home. The dog-sled excursion has been cancelled. (No word if the youngster's spring break will also include college visits.)
Greenland leaders made it clear that the U.S. delegation was neither invited nor wanted.
If the 2028 election were held tomorrow, my vote would be Marco Rubio for president. He has more years experience in the Senate, and seems the most mature voice in this administration thus far, imho. #Gravitas
I liked what J.D. was saying on the Signal discussion that was leaked -- this is not our fight; this will set a poor precedent in who will pay (to keep Israel safe) to keep the shipping channels open. But... J.D. is not a strong voice and always seems to back down on his beliefs. Very "go along to get along" venture capitalist like that...
Pete Hegseth is a boy itching for excitement. Not a leader. Doesn't understand how the constant need for adrenaline costs the country -- neverending flows of war refugees here when we bomb their homelands, as well as the costs of the military adventures themselves. (Clearly, this latest did not involve "defending" America and was not in our country's national defense interests. Shouldn't Congress be authorizing these "wars"?)
Sean Duffy... "I'm a lumberjack and I'm ok!" -- has a pretty face, and is known for his work on TheRealWorld. I just put him up with the others because they are all of similar ages (younger than Boomers) and trying to make their mark nationally.
Marco Rubio is likeable enough, and more mature. J.D. Vance is just plain mean, not likeable, and if he came into office declaring America needs to end the support of endless wars that cost the US so much, and focus those resources investing in the people here, he's being overridden a lot. (If we have billions to defend other people's lands -- and even help them expand their holdings -- we should not be threatening cuts to our own people.)
"Nothing you can do that can't be done. Nothing you can write that can't be run..."
