On Being: Krista Tippett’s Interview of John Lewis.
Instead of wasting your time on the president’s press conference, a better way to spend your Sunday afternoon would be listening to On Being’s host, Krista Tippet, interview Congressman John Lewis:
We take in the extraordinary wisdom of Congressman John Lewis on what happened in Selma on Bloody Sunday and beyond — and how it […]
President Donald Trump tweeted “It is a disgrace that my full Cabinet is still not in place, the longest such delay in the history of our country.”
Well…he hasn’t even hit a month in office yet. Meanwhile:
First, on the subject of “no” votes, Obama’s cabinet nominees faced more than […]
By now we have all digested the nonsense ‘alternative fact’ from President Trump about the media underreporting or just not reporting on terrorist attacks. And how simple it was to debunk. And how the White House quickly and easily provided a list of 78 examples and how simple they were to debunk. We all […]
Mitch McConnell Made His Bed
…and now he has to lie in it.
Normally I would support the premise that a newly elected president should be able to name his (historically accurate) own cabinet and advisers and have them confirmed within a reasonable amount of time: after a fair but thorough confirmation hearing in the senate. Cabinet appointments are very […]
Walker Jumps On the Gorsuch Bandwagon and Adopts the GOP Hypocrisy In Total
Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker has taken the lead in supporting President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Judge Neil Gorsuch. Ok, so that’s not much of a surprise…but here is what he had to say:
In an email to Republican supporters Wednesday, Walker praised Gorsuch, calling him “widely respected by legal scholars on both sides […]

I was alerted to the post by a close friend on Facebook and contacted the author for permission to repost it here on Blogging Blue. So here are some thoughts on the malevolent character and antisocial aberration that is Donald Trump from the pen of George Godwyn (adult language included):

President Barack Obama Says Thank You
My fellow Americans,
It’s a long-standing tradition for the sitting president of the United States to leave a parting letter in the Oval Office for the American elected to take his or her place. It’s a letter meant to share what we know, what we’ve learned, and what small wisdom may help our successor bear […]
Donald Trump: Still Not Convinced?
This morning’s headline: Code associated with Russia hacking found on Vermont utility computer.
Russian (and any others) hacking is a national security risk that shouldn’t be taken lightly. As I have posted previously the incoming Congress should work towards strengthening American cyber-defenses across the board.
A code associated with a broad Russian […]
Ceding Federal Lands to the States
Over the last decade or so…as a part of the Bundy federal lands grazing incidents and their takeover of federal lands in Oregon…the subplot was state’s rights and federal lands should be ceded to the states. Well those conversations seem to be coming up again since the Donald Trump win on November 8th.
First, ceding […]
Immigrants Need To Assimilate!
During the campaign and since the election of President-elect Donald Trump…as part of the undercurrent of the anti-immigrant rhetoric there has been the continued story that immigrants need to assimilate. That they don’t do that. But they do…they do it very effectively…even if it isn’t on the schedule that the right thinks is normal.
My […]
