I have to say this.

I'm watching the rally and reading you guys at the same time.
It feels awesome to see you guys caring for us in Texas.
We feel forgotten here sometimes because all anyone ever sees are the right-wingers being evil.

The Fairness Doctrine: How We Lost It and Why We Need It Back

"American thought and American politics will be largely at the mercy of those who operate these stations, for publicity is the most powerful weapon that can be wielded in a republic."

β€” Rep. Luther Johnson (D.-Texas), in the debate that preceded the Radio Act of 1927 (1/16/03)

Saint Ronnie Raygun knew this and this is why he had it abolished in 1987. This brought on the era of Rush Lintball.

Tyler Perry’s quilt vs sheet analogy is probably the line of the night.

Boots is soaking up the evening rays. Cats are the original solar battery.

What Vice President Henry Wallace knew about American fascism & can tell us about Trump
His words are even more relevant today than in 1944.

"Wallace wasn't a communist but a champion of democracy & fierce opponent of American fascism. He feared what Hitler did in Nazi Germany could happen in America. He worried an unprincipled sociopath w/gift for marketing & self-promotion turning Americans into violent bullies if angry enough."

Questions we face can't be delegated to opinions of people we only know about by reference. Sometimes we must step back to reflect on who we are, where we are, and who and where we want to be. No surrogate for your vested interest exists at times like this. Don't let promises of those hungry for support to control your decisions with empty promises and empty threats. Don't allow anyone to distort the reality you see. The end does not justify the means. What do you win, if you lose who you are?

Letters from an American

The struggle over whether the U.S. government should work for everyone or for the very wealthy and corporations was on display today. Cable and internet providers and home security companies sued to stop the newly finalized Federal Trade Commission β€œclick-to-cancel” rule that says it must be as easy to cancel a service as it is to sign up for it.

Good day, from the Left Coast.
Today's the 1st game of the World Series between the LA Dodgers and the NY Yankees. It promises to be an excitement packed contest. On this day, 23 years ago, our granddaughter was taking a Water Safe class at Seal Beach. She graduated by being thrown into the pool and making her way to the side and out. In an area of the country where the ocean and pools present a ubiquitous area for fun and danger. Water Safe was an insurance policy against the later.

America The Beautiful

O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved,
And mercy more than life.
