No excuses, just facts.
It’s enlightening when you talk to people who know things and not watch the talking heads on the news channels. Saturday, I’m talking to a GE engineer. He told me things about those jet engines that failed last week in an engineers terms. No fluff. Southwest has a very high “cycle rate.” He said, look … Continue reading No excuses, just facts. →

We gave it away to the grifters…
They all fall right? The Roman Empire fell, The British Empire fell. Why not this dodgy little empire. I always figured it would in time. Maybe when my grandkids – kids were grown. The glue of the great American Experiment would have dried and cracked and the structure holding it up would collapse to the … Continue reading We gave it away to the grifters… →

This is not a drill…
I fear, really fear, after the Sinclair revelations this week that this fight we are in is deeper and much more layered than I’d ever imagined. This isn’t about some uneducated and exploited jerks in their MAGA baseball caps, this isn’t a handful of Russian hackers. This isn’t a fascist president and his, complicit family … Continue reading This is not a drill… →

#MAGA
#MAGA – Treason pisses Americans off. It should piss you off too. People, a lot of good people, fought and died for your right to support this fascist. Sadly, it appears they died in vain. If you are ok with money laundering and corruption and Cambridge Analytica and emollients and porn stars and pussy grabbing … Continue reading #MAGA →

I never understood the money…
I’ve never understood the money… The vast amounts of money that things like Google or Facebook can generate. I remember talking to another IT guy, from West Point, in the late 90’s about Yahoo and Excite – years before Google. He saw things from a more military perspective than I, more of a global reach … Continue reading I never understood the money… →

VOTE
If you think your vote doesn’t count. If you are too busy or too tired or just too damn lazy – remember #PA18. We get the government we decide to accept. You don’t need to march or protest or write or scream – you need to vote. Connor Lamb erased a TWENTY POINT trump lead … Continue reading VOTE →

Tan Suit
Forget all of the indecipherable layers of bullshit of the past 1 year and 45 days. Forget all that… If Obama had done ONE of these things, just one – one – The House would have had impeachment proceedings in a day. Jesus, they raised Hell when he wore a tan suit. trump tells … Continue reading Tan Suit →

When I watch the news…
I watch the unrelenting deluge of crisscrossed news articles – hourly it seems now. Some jerk is defiant and an hour later it’s suggested he may be drunk an hour later he says he’ll cooperate. Russian sex coaches… Sarah Huckabee looks exhausted and denies in a tone that tells me she just wants to go … Continue reading When I watch the news… →

Modern Times and Fat Bellies
Of all the things about Western culture that causes me pain and shame, at least equal to gun violence and the heroin epidemic, is the obsession with weight loss. There are places where weight loss isn’t a problem at all. Where they don’t need bands in their stomachs to only allow so much food to … Continue reading Modern Times and Fat Bellies →

Working Mother
I heard Peter Alexander call Ivanka Trump a “working mother,” during their Today Show interview this morning. I know a woman in Newburgh. Her gang-banger husband left her in 2012. She is raising two A students, in one of the nations toughest school systems. Her words to them, “your good grades are your only way … Continue reading Working Mother →
