A top insurrectionist flips. "Joshua James, who is linked to the far-right Oath Keepers militia group, admitted to joining a conspiracy with leader Stewart Rhodes and others to forcibly attempt to stop the transfer of power from former President Donald Trump to President Joe Biden."...

You have made that point several times in this forum, but people are not persuaded. I'm not, the cops are not, the prosecutors are not, the attorneys who represent the defendants are not, and the courts are not. It seems the truth is these people should be arrested and charged with the real...

Not for the 172 Floridians the virus killed last week. For the dead, there is no such thing as less deadly.

While some day the pandemic is over, the virus remains. Over 2,000 new cases in Florida alone just two days ago. Nearly 72,000 Florida COVID-19 deaths since the pandemic began, and counting. The pandemic is over for the 172 Floridians COVID-19 killed last week, but not in a way they and their...

Update: "More than 700 people have been charged with crimes connected to the Capitol siege, and more than 200 of them have pleaded guilty. Besides Wilson, at least five other defendants have been sentenced for assaulting police and most received prison sentences ranging from 41 to 63 months."...

I would not overestimate her either. Her own Republican caucus stripped her of her committee assignments.

Much of what has been said about the Jan 6 committee has been speculation or baseless rhetoric because the committee's work is ongoing and the committee has made few formal statements about it's findings. An accurate glimpse was provided yesterday when the committee made a formal release of its...

Differences between the two events aside, it remains a pathetic, bad-faith play for Texas Democrats to flee the state to stop their own legislative body from doing its work. If they cannot secure the seats or votes to win on a bill, their job is to graciously lose and try harder next time; not...

The same system that allowed lunatic-fringe Democrats to rise in the party is in the Republican Party. Delegates become delegates at seemingly unimportant, backwater party meetings. They then vote at local and state conventions to endorse candidates, elect party leaders and set party policy...

I don't like her or her policies. I think she does the Democratic Party and the country more harm than good. But it is a mistake to write AOC off as an "air head." As a politician, she is brilliant. As a newcomer, she defeated a 10-term incumbent by 15 points, shocking the political...

The methods are dissimilar in that one was violent and the other was not. But the intent of both were identical; to stop an official proceeding of a legislative body.

That's why it's more important than ever for us older folks to figure out how to get along. We need to figure it out and teach the children so they won't have to deal with the mess we created.

LDB has a point. If it's wrong for people to try to stop Congress from meeting to certify the Electoral College vote, is it also wrong for state representatives to flee their state so a quorum is denied and the state legislature can therefore not conduct business?

As the current COVID-19 wave recedes, and time passes from the day COVID-19 first appeared in the U.S., we're able to look back on the numbers, the virus's behavior, our responses, and our results with increasing clarity. Below is a link to a fascinating article that compares Florida's COVID-19...

Refinancing Trump's massive loans got harder when Trump's former accounting firm fired him and said the Trump Organization's financial statements of the last 10 years are unreliable. Some say Trump will turn to foreign interests to get the needed refinancing when the loans come due. With Russian...

Yet another one of Trump's "best people" speaks out.

It seems Trump's insistence on keeping 2020 front-and-center is inducing an increasing Republican willingness to leave Trump behind. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/elections/are-signs-republicans-want-move-2020-trump-may-not-allow-rcna17818

I'm not speaking to you specifically but to the audience in general. It pains (distresses) me to see so many people in politics literally hate the other side because I know how harmful that can be; to people's individual health, and to the country overall. I am not immune form this but I...

With seven years of study and practical application helping people and striving myself to achieve fitness goals, I have come to know a bit about stress and its effects on the body and brain. I claim no knowledge on this topic beyond what is stated above, but I am confident in saying the kind of...

While three are several things that prompt me to rise and/or act in opposition, I can't think of a single person, idea or thing that warrants despising. Despising something releases stress hormones into your bloodstream. Those kid of stress hormones are harmful. Why do that to yourself if you...
