Idiots Strut the Stage

I am breaking my New Year’s resolution to avoid political posts. FBI surveillance van # 157 is messing with my internet connection again. So I thought I’d give them a hand. I wasn’t part of the riots in DC nor do I know anyone who was there. But for those that know more than I […]

The ACLU, the FBI and Quora

The American Civil Liberties Union notes that: ‘The FBI has also established a new database called eGuardian to collect and share suspicious activity reports with the federal intelligence agencies, the Department of Homeland Security, fusion centers, the military and state and local law enforcement.‘ A commentator sent me a reference from Quora in response to […]

SCOTUS and Far-Right Dark Money

I’m Voting for an Elected Government

I am not a member of the Democratic party. I have not been member of the Democratic party since my college days. I do not intend to become a member of the Democratic party in the foreseeable future.
