Texas: A vote for Paxton is a Vote for Democracy – VOTE!
I have been getting flyers in the mail and I admit to voting for Paxton in the GOP primary. Why? I disagree with everything that both Paxton and Cornyn do. After years of contacting Senator Cornyn’s office and at best receiving generic replies to specific concerns, while hearing nothing from Senator Cruz’s office, I have…

The Ballroom Presidency – How America Has Drifted Toward Court Politics
We have a President, but for all intents and purposes, our King is holding court and receiving tribute. The President’s Ballroom and the destruction of the East Wing of the White House are physical representations of the purchase of power and attention, and the destructions of norms that Americans have held dear and are codified…

Blind Israeli Support
Last week, Banksy released his latest piece in London’s Waterloo Place. Titled Blind Patriotism, the work critiques how people blinded by patriotism, nationalism, and unwavering allegiance to national symbols can lose their ability to think rationally and ultimately lead themselves to their downfall. With that in mind, it’s impossible not to see parallels with those…

High Gas Prices: Not an effect of the war but possibly a cause of it.
During the 2024 campaign Trump asked the oil and gas industry for 1 billion dollars in campaign support and in return he promised record windfall profits to Oil Executives. Since his election President Trump has delivered on his promise, probably one of the few promises he was able to keep. It is well documented that…

News the felon and his enablers hate: corruption at DHS and ICE
Hatred of corruption is something that unites the left and the right. After all, most taxpayers get angry when OUR MONEY is being stolen, with the possible exception of those. We can use this corruption to make ICE even more unpopular. This still matters because DHS has not been totally funded. The Dems held firm,…

News the felon wants to hide: cost of war, corruption, cost of living
Several people have been kind enough to ask me to continue the stories on the news the felon does not want us to see. So, I’m doing that, but instead of going through everything (neither you nor I have the time), I’m going to focus on one area at a time. In this diary, we’re…

The Supreme Court just made a huge and costly mistake. And they will regret it.
As we all know now, Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act is now officially history. Before I get into the point of this diary, I want to share what I think is another shady reason why the Supreme Court deliberately dismantled this key provision. It was not just because the “Corrupt Six” are in…

SCOTUS Destroys Voting Rights Act
The Supreme Court of the United States handed down one of the worst decisions since Citizens United. In short, they took an ax to the Voting Rights Act of 1965. By weakening Section 2, SCOTUS has made it easier for states to deny citizens the right to vote based on race. Section 2 prohibits states…

America’s Hegemonic Heel
The illegal war in Iran has shown the limits of U.S. power. The once thought indestructible and unstoppable U.S. military force has a) not led to stable political results, b) put pressure and strain on our alliances, c) been challenged by the Iranian government and military through their use of asymmetric warfare, and demonstrated America’s…

A Few Scenes from the Early Days of DK6 After the spectacularly successful debut of DK6 last week, Markos spreads his wings to attract new subscribers and followers.

Republicans for Impeachment?
Depending on who you listen: Where do you stand on what Democrats should do? Well, that’s a trick question, because I don’t agree with any of those things. In my opinion, it is REPUBLICANS who should be pushing for impeachment and cosponsoring the articles in the House and managing it in the Senate. And it…

Rep. Chip Roy’s MAMDANI Act (Measures Against Marxism’s Dangerous Adherents and Noxious Islamists)
