Blog Overview (Permanent Top Post)

This blog explores politics from a liberal/left perspective but also deals heavily with conspiracy theories and various unusual topics. Although I started this blog to research 9/11, my most pressing issue of concern now is anthropogenic climate change.

If you have doubts about the science of climate change, this website is a very useful resource to get educated.

I'm happy to have people comment and contribute ideas here. I don't censor comments except in rare cases where there is abuse or private information. Google/Blogger does sometimes censor comments for reasons I don't understand and I have no control over. Lately, I am not able to even find comments that Google/Blogger has blocked. Sorry about that.

You can read about the history of this blog here. I post kind of irregularly in recent years but I try to keep this site active. Feel free to use the search engine on the side for older content. For expired links, try using the Wayback Machine.

I rarely ever check my email for this blog (see sidebar for my address). If you need to contact me, the best bet is to leave a comment. If you need to email me, let me know in a comment that you've emailed me.

Thank you for reading.

After 10 Years, Trump's Unfettered Reign of Terror Is Over Thanks to the Massive Blue Tsunami Across America

Last night was a full nation-wide rebuke of Republican hate, greed, corruption, cruelty, stupidity and even treason.

Trump's reign of terror is not over over, for sure, but it will be strongly checked by the new Democratic House and Senate. 

 But there were so many great wins last night including Texas FINALLY turning blue--  but even unexpected Democratic flips of Senate seats in Kansas and South Carolina.

Perhaps my favorite win-- Democrat Gina Hinojosa elected Texas' first Latina governor, ousts Republican incumbent Greg Abbott 

Democrats win the US House and Senate as voters deliver a strong rebuke to Trump and Republicans

Woohooo!!!!!!! 

Is tRump Going To Nuke Iran? Tucker Carlson Thinks So, FWIW. Pray He's Wrong.

 

Stonekettle has the appropriate response about this horrible plan:

 

 

US HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE REPORT FROM DEMOCRATS ON THE EPSTEIN FILES INVESTIGATION

 THEY DON'T HOLD BACK:

A growing body of evidence demonstrates that Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s. 

The Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) are doing everything they can to keep the American people in the dark about it. 

From the very first weeks of the Trump Administration, DOJ shut down ongoing criminal investigations into Epstein’s enablers and co-conspirators, lied about clear evidence of crimes in its possession, and sought to silence survivors. 

In July 2025, then-Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and one of his senior deputies, Emil Bove—both former criminal defense lawyers for Donald Trump—released a memorandum stating that DOJ and FBI had determined that “no further disclosure” of the Epstein files would be “appropriate or warranted.” 

Trump has claimed that the Epstein files “totally exonerate” him, but the evidence, as detailed in this Staff Report, could not be less exonerating. 

The historical record shows that Trump was a close friend and confidant of Epstein. Trump flew on his jet with Epstein’s victims and made shared references to lusting after young women. The record shows that Epstein and Trump, working with other predators like Paolo Zampolli and John Casablancas, exploited the thin veneer of professionalism offered by the 1990s modeling industry to lure victims into their orbit. 

The evidence, much of it still hiding behind redactions in DOJ vaults, shows that Trump lied about kicking Epstein out of his Mar-a-Lago club and strongly suggests that Epstein introduced Trump to his wife Melania. 

The evidence demonstrates that Trump has lied about the nature and extent of his relationship with Epstein dozens of times—incriminating behavior for someone who supposedly has nothing to hide. 

Above all, the actual evidence we have seen—as shared in the accounts and stories of 11 women, each described below—indicates that Trump abused, assaulted, and even raped numerous women alongside, and in coordination with, the most infamous sex trafficker in history. These stories are united by time, place, and the distinct factual similarities in how Trump and Epstein pursued, manipulated, and abused these women. With one exception, these accounts of sexual assault and conspiracy involve episodes that took place between 1992 and 1997 in New York City and Palm Beach, at a time when Trump and Epstein were “close friends” and participated in a shadowy subculture organized around young female modeling. 

Witnesses speak consistently of modeling pageants and parties where young women and girls were forced into predatory situations and routinely taken advantage of, abused, and raped. They give similar accounts of the competitive and sinister relationship between Epstein and Trump and how it was channeled into their shared pursuit of young women. 

Taken together, the evidence provided by the stories of these 11 women, and the documentary evidence that supports and corroborates their stories, indisputably meets and surpasses FBI’s standard for opening a full investigation: that “activity constituting a federal crime … may have occurred.”

Documentary accuses Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of sex with teen boy

 Well, now we know why this compromised asshole was so subservient to trump, when he had initially criticized him very honestly as a conman, etc

WHICH IS WHAT THE "CONSPIRACY THEORISTS" HAD SUGGESTED ALL ALONG.

THE CONSPIRACY THEORISTS WERE RIGHT.

Bottom line is the GOP is as AWFUL as they've ever been and ALL of them need to be removed from office 

A pilot stabs the other pilot and tries to crash their flight to Tel Aviv, Israel says

 Hmmm, one pilot armed with a knife couldn't take out even one pilot in the cockpit, but on 9/11, this happened on 3 separate flights without any pilots signaling distress?

 Very strange.

"A pilot on a flight carrying Israelis stabbed another and apparently tried to crash, Netanyahu says"

 This article says that attack took place at 33,000 feet, because of course. 

Details:

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — A copilot stabbed a captain in an apparent attempt to crash a jetliner as it was flying 174 people to Israel on Wednesday. 

But passengers burst into the cockpit and wrestled with the attacker even as the plane descended sharply, witnesses and Israel’s government said. The plane made an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia. The shaken passengers from the FlyDubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv landed Wednesday evening in Israel on another flight, as onlookers cheered. Israel’s emergency services said they treated three passengers with minor injuries. It was not clear what motivated the attack, which led Israel to scramble warplanes amid concerns about a possible hijacking. In a CNN interview aired on Wednesday evening, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the attacker was an Omani national and was being interrogated in Saudi Arabia, where he was arrested.

Curious that they would allow an Omani pilot to fly into Israel, or even a Dubai/UAE airlines plane to go into Israel.
