My dad died from Alzheimer’s, and I recognize the symptoms in the felon. He wanders, he falls asleep when he’s sitting still, no matter what is happening around him. He speaks gibberish, he mixes up people’s names, I could go on.

The thing that really bothers me is that Jake Tapper and others accused Joe Biden of aging poorly, when it’s actually the felon with the dementia, and corporate media ignores it completely.

Absolutely. Drives me bonkers.

And they'll be made by Sony and Toyota, so they'll be the best in the world. We are hosed.

“We will bomb the Hell out of Japan until they open the Tsushima Strait. And the Akashi Strait. And the Kanmon Strait. And the Hōyo Strait. And the Naruto Strait. And, oh, the fuck, just let us take over ALL the Straits.” — WARLORD Warry McWarstein Hogsbreath

If they had their way, Japan would force everyone to live under harsh 6th Century Sharia law, which requires eating only raw fish and weeds.

You couldn't even enjoy delicious maggotty pheasant.

I will never get over the way Biden was crucified by the media and his own party. I am now NPP. No Party Preference.

Yes, it's pretty amazing how Biden was treated. And he handled it with his usual grace.

I went the opposite way. as you. I've long been NPP, but am firmly in the Dem corner until the scourge ends. I see it this way: There is one legitimate political party, and even though it's mostly bought and paid for by corporate interests, it's all we've got, and I see people like Zohran Mamdani making inroads.

I've been left of Bernie ever since I've been of voting age. The country will never vote like me, even though all I really am is an FDR Democrat. That's how far the pendulum has swung.

As I wrote recently, there are no leftists in America:

FDR Dem. I can relate to that sentiment.

Great column as always-I’ve been driving all day and am just getting to things here. The NYT has really screwed up. WaPo too, for that matter! Other social media needs to get the info out there.

But then, I talked to the bartender last night when I stopped for the night and she admitted she won’t read or listen to any of it. Her anxiety is really bad, she said. I wanted to say, oh honey, if you think it’s bad now, just hang on.

Americans need to pay at least SOME attention to what’s happening. We’re just not angry enough yet.

Thanks! Where to, now? Philly again? A secret hideaway?

Those kinds of people are hard for me to deal with. They don't understand that they are contributing to this mess when they put their head in the sand.

I wish I HAD a secret hideaway....maybe it is Missouri. I mean, who in their right mind would want to live there in its current condition!? I actually am on the last leg of my trip back home. 🙄

I understand people who work, have kids, etc but there is no excuse for not at least being aware of whats happening.
