God bless America. I believe we are blessed to live in a nation founded by the people and for the people. Despite the rough seas and false prophets of our times I believe in America’s ideals and that we will overcome.

It really doesn't feel like a day for celebrating. I'll feel a little better if the mid-terms actually happen, and I'll feel even better if in about 931 days, there is a new president and a peaceful transition of power. If not, the experiment is over.

Trump seems to have decided the list of grievances in the Declaration of Independence was a to-do list, instead of things to avoid doing.

Turn off CNN , FoxNews, MSNBC or wherever you’re getting your hyperbolic reaction. You have much more to be concerned with, such as the DSA takeover of the Democratic Party and the alignment with antisemitism than anything Trump dreams up.
