clown car diplomacy
Shocking as it may seem, the president’s meeting with Volodymyr Zelenskyy did not go well. The world and most Americans watched in horror as the president and vice-president behaved like spoiled three-year olds. What an embarrassment for the United States. It’s like these clowns got a Ferrari from their rich dad and then they drove…

everyone except the fools knew this would happen
A child has died from measles in the Texas outbreak. RFK jr said in a Cabinet meeting that measles outbreaks occur all the time and there is nothing unusual about that outbreak. Everyone who believes in science knew this would happen because of RFK jr. His lies are killing children.

To Catch A Criminal
I watched this on Netflix today. It was pretty good up to the point where the main protagonists caught up with the criminal. At that point it crashed and burned really really hard and not only did I hate all the characters, I also hated the writers, the director, and the actors who phoned it…

every day is a fresh hell
When I was a child, my parents said I had to go to church until I was 12. After that it would be my decision. I was baptized and I had to go to Sunday school. I learned a lot in Sunday school and it shaped the rest of my life. The major takeaway was…
