I asked him how the right wing, white supremacists who invaded the Capitol would be treated in terms of legal defense..

This is a short under 15 minute must listen interview Greg Palast deserves a lot of credit for helping Joe Biden to win the election. He discusses what worked, what didn't, how Trump Can still steal the election and what needs to be done to insure fair January Georgia Senate runoff elections. |
Biden says he had a bad night on his debate night. His defenders say Obama and Reagan had bad debate nights and went on to win. They didn't respond with the best answers, they might have been flustered for a moment. But they were intact. They were fully cognitively functioning. Biden did not have a bad night like them He demonstrated profound cognitive dysfunction that impaired him so much he was unable to debate.
The reason Joe Biden won't withdraw his candidacy is simple. If he acknowledges that he is no longer fit to run as a candidate and should step down, he also tacitly admits that he is no longer fit to be president and should step down. So he is fighting to hold on to a presidency which he no longer qualifies to hold.
Biden will soon be off the ticket. He will soon, by the end of July, no longer by president, even with the gaslighting being done by the Whitehouse and Dem leaders. These will lead to a volcanic eruption of change.
If the good, hero Joe can actually surface enough to stand up to the people around him desperately grasping to hold on to his power, and he can actually resign, then he'll be a hero.
The lying and dissembling media and Democratic politicians apologizing and defending Joe Biden are using three strategies. First, they point to how bad Trump. Then they say how great Joe Biden has been in the past. Neither of those matter now. Last, they point out how well he did the next day at a stump speech in SC. The problem is he was reading a teleprompter
The debate made it clear, Biden should no longer be president by September. Some thoughts pre-debate on cognitive functioning, drug testing and issues to cover.
There is no human being, since Hitler, who has been as bad for the Jewish people and Israel as Benjamin Netanyahu.
House speaker. Mike Johnson says it was "a shameful day in American history." I agree.
They are part of a conspiracy to totally block the Democratic process in the Democratic presidential primary. If you don't want Biden, the least you can do, is when you vote in your primary, don't vote for him. Vote for no choice, or vote for another democratic candidate, or leave the presidential slot blank. Send a message similar to the one voters in Michigan sent. It is a strong way to send a message to Dem leaders |
I've developed a real passion for my new hobby of making rock mosaics. These are really crazy times-- the craziest in my life. So I thought it would help to ask some basic questions: What are the questions we need to be asking today? How did we get here. What is here? Wh
Here are some performances with newer artists performing with long-time hit singers with a long history. Some of these performances gave me chills or made tears well in my eyes
This article details the costs of getting dental work in Brazil. It'll take time getting used to having teeth I can feel good about instead of teeth that embarrass me. The big gap between my two upper front teeth my whole life is gone. I've literally inhibited myself from smiling with a toothy smile, even though, since 1980, I've taught smile muscle anatomy and the power of smiling. I should have done this decades ago.
Wow. It's been a while since I wrote a Brazil article and it seems like a lifetime has gone by.
'm learning about life in Brazil. The average income here is about R$1200 a month-- not even $75 a week.
Turning 70 today, I remember more and more often advice from my author friend Jim Donovan on how to stay young.
I love movies that touch my heart and bring tears to my eyes with touching scenes. The Map of Tiny Perfect Things delivers on both accounts.It's no accident it was released on Valentines day, since it's a sweet, touching romance story with an almost unique twist, and it expands on what may be the start of a new genre. It's a take-off on the classic movie, Groundhogs Day
A large manatee was discovered with the word Trump scraped on it. What should the punishment be for such a despicable crime?
We've been doing OEN Zoom sessions since March and they're always a pleasure, with great company and conversation. This one, two weeks ago, including some extraordinary music-- singing and dobro playing by OEN regular, Bill Homans, also known as Watermelon Slim. His first song is Corona Funk. |
