My South Carolina neighbors have increased their target shooting. The law here says no one can shoot a firearm within 300 yards of a residence. They’re at about 200 feet, and it’s clearly with high-powered rifles. (The time between the gunshot and the sound of the struck target reaching us…

What happened to the famous GOP concept of “quid pro quo”? — Medium friends, I need your help to answer a serious question: What has the GOP done to help working Americans over the past 50 years? I feel certain that had republicans done absolutely nothing to help non-millionaire, non-corporations (as certainly seems to be the case) for over 50 years now…

Obviously the GOP cure for “wokeness” is eternal sleep. There is substantial confusion these days in much of the world about the term “woke”. While to be woke from sleep seems perfectly normal, and something virtually everyone does at least once per day, apparently being woke/awake to reality is a very bad thing indeed. (Depending, of course, on who…

So Sayeth the Six Disciples, with Alito and Thomas Leading the Chorus — Friends, I need help with what started out not so much as an article, but mostly as a quick, middle of the night listing of some ideas that refused to leave me alone.

They know that the left will not likely do those same evil, cruel, and soulless things the right is doing every day. Thus, we progressives must be stopped! Huh? — (Full disclosure: My online alias for years was Roland V. Wade.) I’m not at all envious of the young, because at my age, this past Thursday (6/23/22) was likely better than any day I will ever see again. (I said the same thing 11/4/15, and I was right.) …

…but I surely live in one now: America. I’m sorry, this isn’t an article (and even if it were I’d collect no payment for it, being unpaid on Medium.) It’s simply an expression of the pain and anger (but not disbelief) that I’m feeling today. Simply, I have no IRL…

Admittedly, this is not an actual article, but rather a notification by a fan (both of this film and of truth, historical and otherwise) urgently attempting to get the word out quickly on something of great value. Who We Are: A Chronicle of Racism in America is a new Netflix…

As I watch the 1/6 hearing with its many right(sic)-wing heads bowed in prayer, I find myself with one unavoidable question- “What are those monsters praying for?” Please, can someone try to explain to me the purpose of prayer among so very many contemporaries calling themselves Christians?
