  • Very sobering indeed.

    Excellent, thorough, informative explanations of very complicated situations we find ourselves in as a country. With a lawless executive branch enabled by a partisan Supreme Court.

  • DHS & ICE

    Intelligent discussion about the huge expansion of DHS & ICE. The creation of a large paramilitary force with the power to imprison people indefinitely in inhumane conditions (even in foreign countries) and not subject to oversight by DOJ or Article 3 courts is a massive risk for the US.
