I lack the capacity to even begin to grasp what and who allows these goons power. After a lifetime this is humbling.

I hadn't known about the First Amendment cancelation amendment banning service members from communicating...you know, by calling or emailing or writing a letter and sending it in the mail...with the MRFF. Mikey Weinstein is a national hero who has shut down countless attempts at military posts including the Air Force Academy to push fundamentalist beliefs on service members by requiring them to attend "assemblies" where listening to, pardon the expression, such bull crap is made mandatory. Good on you for picking that gem out of the sludge pile of that bill.

Isn’t it illegal to forbid me to communicate with any person, group, of my choice? Isn’t there such a thing as “freedom of association”?

My fathers ghost must be whispering in my ear. So now I’m quite ashamed of myself. Everyone should be free to cast a vote.

18% on charity for what it was founded, sounds like one of the biggest names in biblical arch.. I was commissioned decades ago to prepare a dossier on how much we in the field were receiving from the highly profitable, non-profit. It was much less than 5%, those that commissioned the article were afraid to publish the study for fear of a lawsuit.

The Tale of the Two Texans was suitably acerbic and, once again, revolting.

"For seven of the eight years he’s been the state’s top law enforcement officer, he has been under federal indictment for fraud." Do not voters care?

As for the Tubby the Tuba jerk, now all tangled up in "Who's a white supremacist, and is it wrong?" I repeat my previous question, and wonder how, or why the caliber of elected officials has gone to seed?

If there’s anything emerging from the horror of child murders perhaps one light is the awakening of a generation who’ll step up both as candidates and as voters.
