Politically homeless. Fluent in facts, sarcasm, and eye rolls. Here for truth, not team colors. Retired, recovering media guy, still kicking, still questioning.

Today was a masterclass in political fiction: Republicans blamed Democrats for a shutdown they negotiated, claimed Trump ended eight wars and cured inflation, pushed wild Epstein conspiracies that collapse on contact with facts, insisted every investigation is a "deep state

Today’s discourse in a nutshell: endless "bombshells" with no evidence, recycled conspiracies dressed up as breaking news, and a White House claiming credit for things it hasn’t done. Meanwhile, anyone asking basic questions gets called a traitor. Exhausting.

This sounds like "Drunk History" with Mr. Haney. Dems afraid of the far left? Sure. But when do Republicans stand up to MAGA, or is bowing the new platform?”
How did socialists rise to power in the Democratic Party? It’s because we stopped teaching our kids about the Soviet Union and Mao Zedong—and because mainstream Democrats are scared to death of standing up to the far left.

Mail-in ballots are used in most states because they work, military, seniors, and rural voters rely on them. Claims of ‘massive fraud’ have been investigated and debunked repeatedly. And under the Constitution, states, not the president, run elections. That’s not just tradition,
I am going to lead a movement to get rid of MAIL-IN BALLOTS, and also, while we’re at it, Highly “Inaccurate,” Very Expensive, and Seriously Controversial VOTING MACHINES, which cost Ten Times more than accurate and sophisticated Watermark Paper, which is faster, and leaves NO

Coming from a party that can’t stand up to Trump, Putin, or Project 2025… that’s rich. Maybe clean your own house first, Senator.

MAGA’s logic is confusing: communism is a crisis in New York, but gets the red carpet in Alaska. Ukraine’s borders don’t matter, but ours are sacred. Sovereignty isn’t selective; tyranny’s just a campaign prop.

Please explain how cheering for Putin and selling out democracy is “making America great again.” Looks a lot more like making Russia great again.
If Zelensky and his Euro-cronies reject Trump's peace deal, Trump should just say, "Fine, let this be YOUR war. Expect zero weapons or funding from the US. You want this war so badly, go all-in. Commit ground troops and planes. Either win this war or end it. We're out!"

So now America’s election policy comes with Putin’s stamp of approval? Mail-in voting is used safely in democracies worldwide, but sure, let’s take cues from the guy who hasn’t had a fair election in 20 years. Sounds legit.
BREAKING 🚨 President Trump just said Putin told him the mail-in voting is rigging our Elections. YES Donald Trump just announced he is going to push to BAN Mail-in Voting DO IT 👏

With the world watching ahead of the LA Olympics, scenes of immigration raids in LA from the back of rental trucks send the wrong message. We can uphold our laws without staging fear. America should lead with justice, not spectacle. That’s how you earn global respect.

Serious question: Why do so many well-educated pundits still pretend tariffs are checks written by foreign governments to the U.S. Treasury? Tariffs are taxes on imports; the costs are passed on to U.S. businesses and consumers. This isn’t advanced economics; it’s common sense.
Batya Ungar-Sargon is exactly right. Tariffs are not paid by consumers, they are paid by corporations and governments.

Justice isn’t a team sport. If Trump, Clinton, Brennan, or Obama broke laws, prove it. But turning prosecutions into political trophies destroys trust in the system. Independents and moderates need to demand real accountability, not just partisan wins, or revenge politics will

How did energy innovation become a partisan issue? You’d think maximizing all resources, old and new, would be a shared goal. Reliable, affordable, and cleaner energy shouldn’t be political. When energy policy becomes a partisan weapon, common sense becomes collateral damage.

Today’s facts were terminated for cause, rebranded as opinions, and quietly escorted out the back door. Tomorrow’s spin cycle starts at dawn. No prep needed. The script writes itself.”

Stocks just had their worst week in months as Trump’s tariffs and a weakening job market shook investors. S&P 500 down 2.4% for the week. The irony? His own policies are forcing a Fed rate cut to save the economy from… his own policies.

We run a trade imbalance because we buy more than we sell. So we call it unfair, blame the other country, and tax ourselves with tariffs. Problem solved.

Mueller confirmed it. A GOP-led Senate Intel Committee confirmed it. Russia interfered. If Comer and Ingraham have “facts,” I missed them. This is just partisan cosplay for primetime.
They lied. We want accountability. “We knew it was a Russia hoax. You did a great job, Laura, reporting the facts. Now it’s time for the Comeys, the Brennans—those guys—to pay a price. It’s illegal. It’s wrong. And they need to be held accountable.” -- @RepJamesComer

Credit to President Trump for appointing Powell and to President Biden for reappointing him. Under Powell’s leadership, the Fed steered the U.S. through COVID, cut inflation from 9% to under 3%, and kept markets stable through bank failures. Policy debates are fair; calling it a
You wouldn’t believe the failures at the @FederalReserve under Jay Powell’s leadership, we need accountability at the Fed NOW!

At some point, strategy has to meet outcomes. If tariffs raise prices, strain allies, and fail to deliver enforceable trade wins, we’re not playing hardball—we’re just paying for the show.
