Dozens of people, CGI and animation,, ziplines in topical paradises, and productions that are closer to short movies than brief advertisements for products — it all adds up to one thing: they have a lot of money to spend. And it makes sense, right? After all, the United States is just one of two countries…

BUT… and it’s a big, hairy “but”: there such a thing as the 14 Amendment, which says in Section 1, “[n]o State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due…

ARTICLE V: The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part…

I promise that those two are not mutually exclusive. Condemning the murder of innocent Palestinians because of the actions of Hamas is antisemitism, right? So what is it called when a hospital is bombed but the bombers pinky promise that they worked really hard to minimize casualties? Can you imagine if America bombed a hospital…

I know I do. (Yes, that is definitely sarcasm.) If you want to get rich(er), then get elected to Congress. And if you’re naughty, then there’s a committee for that.

If Epstein a hoax, then there is a woman who has been wrongfully imprisoned and needs to be released. And, if it’s a hoax, then we need to see it, understand how they were able to fool everyone, and start prosecuting people for it. So is it a hoax, or is it not? We cannot…

As of 2018, the size of federal law was 60,000 pages, and the COVID-19 relief package was 5,000 pages by itself (according to The Atlantic). In 1982 (not a typo) there were more than 3,000 federal crimes — no one knows how many there are today. If it’s not possible, then it’s not possible to…

The calls about my car’s warranty expiring, to grandparents that scam them out of their life savings, and now to world leaders that impersonate government officials are pervasive. How many scammers have you heard of being caught (or even identified)? But you can probably bet that the impersonators of Marco Rubio will be pursued, but…

That’s pretty much it. Stop blocking full disclosure. If there is no list and Ghislaine Maxwell doesn’t have dirt on you or the rest of our would-be rulers, then what’s the problem in hearing her testimony?
