In preparation for the tariffs I'm reducing the amount of beans I use to make my coffee.

In honor of the source of the problem, Trump, I call it Felon Water.

They are not clearing the way for a meritocracy


If you really wanted to hire based on merit only, you would not need to repeal a rule that says you cannot discriminate based on sex, religion, or race, now would you?

Youth crime


Local reps worried about youth that will do a smash and grab and when released say they will just do it again. Naturally their thoughts of how to address that have to do with increasing penalties, eroding due process, increasing penalties, etc.

But they need to think for a minute about the message they sent to the youth in the 2024 election. It wrote to them and the world in big orange neon letters that the law does not apply to everyone in this country. And when the law does not apply to everyone it stops being justice and becomes oppression.

When we handed felon sex offender Trump the oval office we made crime an act against oppression.

You cannot expect people to abide by rules that do not apply to everyone. Can you blame them for thinking "If we are not all in this together then it is everyone for themselves. "?

You can't parade blatant hypocrisy in front of people, piss all over their rights, their viewpoints and their futures and not expect them to act out!

You can't exclude people from the game and expect them to keep playing by the rules!

Had to walk out of Republican town hall.


State and city Republican reps had a town hall here. In typical fashion they left only 20min out 90 for questions. All was reasonable until one started blathering about how to improve law enforcement. I left saying "I will not sit here and listen to a Republican talk about law and order. You all voted it out!"

Have you ever known a lazy, incompetent, white male? Even one?

Yeah, me too. Plenty. That's all you need to know to see through this anti-DEI crap.

Known one? Heck, I am one! I mean I try my best mostly and am good at the things my company pays me to do, but if given a choice between really knuckling down and getting into the mud to do the hard work no one else wants to do or having a beer and watching the hockey? I think we know which way I'm leaning...

My Spanish is not very good, but I will definitely be using it more often in public now. Even when not talking to Spanish speakers.
I'm a white male of German ancestry if you go back far enough.

Sí, estoy despertado. ¿Quién te preguntó, guero?

Book bans are illegal in Illinois!


“Here in Illinois, we don’t hide from the truth, we embrace it,” said Governor JB Pritzker in a press release. “Young people shouldn’t be kept from learning about the realities of our world; I want them to become critical thinkers, exposed to ideas that they disagree with, proud of what our nation has overcome, and thoughtful about what comes next. Everyone deserves to see themselves reflected in the books they read, the art they see, the history they learn. In Illinois, we are showing the nation what it really looks like to stand up for liberty.”
