“Roughly 24 hours after the death of Colin Powell, Donald Trump proved, again, that he is utterly incapable of empathy, grace or even common decency.”

Just as he did when John McCain died, Trump is using Colin Powell's death as an opportunity to exact revenge. Trolling, taunting, and off topic comments may be removed at the discretion of group mods. NT members that vote up their own comments or continue to disrupt the conversation risk...

“The California State Parks and Recreation Commission voted Thursday to rename Patrick’s Point State Park to its Indigenous Yurok Tribe name,...”

I have mentioned this beautiful park in previous postings.  It is well worth a visit.  I have been there several times.  It has an interesting reproduction of an ancient village. The name change is an excellent turn of events.

“Back in April, Fox CEO Lachlan Murdoch claimed that Carlson actually "decried and rejected replacement theory." This week, he openly promoted it...”

Tucker Carlson is promoting the racist, anti-semitic "Great Replacement" theory.  We all remember Charlottesville where the Nazis, parading with their tiki torches, were chanting "Jews will not replace us".  It looks like Carlson has joined their ranks.

As a child growing up in Los Angeles, we studied "Yangna" in the 3rd grade.  I have always been fascinated by this history.

Trump's sleazebag lawyers tried to fight with the Federal Court judge.  They are deservedly looking at significant sanctions.

“Some 150 members of the Patriot Front took part in the demonstration late Saturday night.”

The Neo-Fascist base of the Trumpist Republican Party took to the streets of Philadelphia on Saturday night, throwing smoke bombs, attacking citizens and chanting "the election was stolen".  Their hatred for America, the American people and the American way of life is open and obvious.  They are...

McCarthy slams Biden for giving 'Putin a pass' after years of silence on Trump's relationship with Russian president

“McCarthy's comments come after years of silence from him on former President Donald Trump's relationship with Putin, which many critics described...”

A typical display of hypocrisy by House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy...                                                   President Biden did not give Putin a "pass" on anything.  He also did not embrace and express his love and devotion for Putin as his predecessor did so often.

Trump and the Republican Party's attempt to undermine American's faith in our system of government is having an effect on self-identified Republican voters.  This will only cause them to continue to promote the Big Lie.

Texas GOP chairman Allen West falsely says Texas could secede from the US: 'We could go back to being our own Republic' - CNNPolitics

“Texas Republican Party chairman Allen West falsely suggested that Texas could secede from the United States and become an independent country, a...”

The Chairman of the Texas Republican Party is openly anti-American, un-American and a total nut job, which makes him fairly well representative of the rest of his party.
