  D etermined O n G orging E verything Picture by blogger Credit MSNBC Alone by Edgar Allan Poe (published 1875)    From childhood's hour I have not been As others were -- I have not seen As others saw -- I could not bring My passions from a common spring -- From the same source I have not taken My sorrow -- I could not awaken My heart to joy at the same tone -- And all I lov'd -- I lov'd alone -- Then -- in my childhood -- in the dawn Of a most stormy life -- was drawn From ev'ry depth of good and ill The mystery which binds me still -- From the torrent, or the fountain -- From the red cliff of the mountain -- From the sun that 'round me roll'd In its autumn tint of gold -- From the lightning in the sky As it pass'd me flying by -- From the thunder, and the storm -- And the cloud that took the form (When the rest of Heaven was blue) Of a demon in my view -- This isn't disrespectful, it's just harsh as one would expect retribution to be

You guys are costing us a lot of money      We are defending ourselves against an aggressive attack from a ruthless maniac I know Putin and I can assure you he is just like us  He is only looking out for his people's best interest I speak for the president and the people of the United States when I say you are overreacting just as we had anticipated You seem to like the war and are looking for handouts that will continue your country's lifestyle I am not saying this  because of poor information or the inability to retain it, just a reminder that we are asking you to give up your country's mineral rights in appreciation for the generous support we respectfully gave your people for three years   Blogger: Mr. Zelenskyy, humble apologies for our elected American official's behavior

A Christmas Idea

ā€œFor a long time we had the wrong product specifications when we thought of ourselves. We humans have been under the belief that we were endowed with a beautiful machine for thinking and understanding things. However, among the factory specifications for us is the lack of awareness of the true factory specifications (why complicate things?). The problem with thinking is that it causes you to develop illusions. And thinking may be such a waste of energy! Who needs it!"  I didn't come to this conclusion on my own, illusion is a commodity necessary for creativity and can be enjoyable.  It's one of my toys and reality distractions.  When it develops a sense of its own then perceptions get fragmented.  What is real isn't so easy to realize, it is no longer a fun loving friend and can be frightening.   Because it is the holidays, believe it or not, most of us choose children's banter, dreams and good memories.  A season filled with fond delights an...

Fire the best, keep the rest

 President-elect Donald Trumpā€™s string of controversial nominations continued this past weekend, when he announced his intention to fire his own FBI Director, Chris Wray , and replace him with Kash Patel , a loyalist who shares Trumpā€™s desire to use the bureau as a political tool. If past is prologue, Patel may face an uphill climb to even get the entirety of his own party on board. Trump tried to appoint Patel to various posts on his first term, only to be reportedly told by then-Attorney General Bill Barr that it would happen ā€œover [his] dead body;ā€ then-CIA Director Gina Haspel has also reportedly threatened to resign if Patel was installed under her.    By Chris Coons December 9, 2024 7:00 AM EST Chris Coons has been a Democratic U.S. Senator from Delaware since 2010. He serves on the Judiciary, Appropriations, and Foreign Relations Committees.

Organization takes on a new look

What looks like a mess is an arrangement with an end - like the mishandling of classified federal documents that will never get cleaned up by the FBI because the former appointed director is taking a forced early political leave  To borrow from the early protest days, Justice is just another word for nothing left to loose   "Wray still has three years left as FBI director, but given Trumpā€™s public commitments to reforming law enforcement, he is likely to be pushed out or retire before 2027."

FRONTLINE Democracy On Trial

    FRONTLINE investigates the roots of the criminal cases against former President Trump stemming from his 2020 election loss. With the presidential race for 2024 underway, veteran political filmmaker Michael Kirk and his team examine the House Jan. 6 committeeā€™s evidence, the historic charges against Trump and the threat to democracy.   Becoming president was pivotal to the continuance of a Trump without wrong doing at least for four more years.  Delayed numerous charges also challenges the judicial system and the people who support it, not to exclude we the people who live by the rules that are law in this country.
