President Roosevelt’s Executive Order 8802, June, 1941
“Reaffirming Policy Of Full Participation In The Defense Program By All Persons, Regardless Of Race, Creed, Color, Or National Origin, And Directing Certain Action In Furtherance Of Said Policy” This resulted in people of color, and women of any race, being brought out of the “back rooms”, so to speak, where they had been treated as substandard humans. Now their…
Countering the MAGA East Wing Argument
Every time Trump breaks the law and tramples the Constitution, his followers make excuses for him. The White House East Wing situation is no different. From MAGAs: For more than a century, U.S. Presidents have been renovating, expanding, and modernizing the White House to meet the needs of the present day. The Information They’re Leaving Out Theodore Roosevelt’s West Wing…
MAGAs Were Wrong About Food Stamp Cuts
MAGA politicians lied, as usual. Trump followers believed every bit of it, as usual. The left said: millions of Americans are going to lose food stamps. The right said: People will not lose their benefits. The left is scare-mongering. The left was telling the truth, and I hope MAGAs find crow delicious. Food stamp cuts will be rolled out in…
Grief is the Only Response
Since I heard the news that Charlie Kirk died from the gunshot wound, I have been fighting back tears. I did not agree with his politics or social views, but he was a child of God, a loving family man, and he stood for what he believed in, as the Constitution gave him the right to do so. This type…

The Dope on Epstein & Trump
dope: (dohp) noun informal: a stupid person informal: information, especially from a reliable source We’re in the middle of the biggest presidential scandal since Watergate. Except I think this may keep getting bigger until it makes Watergate look like a Sunday picnic. I decided to take a brief break from the post I’ve been working on about an historical figure,…
Keystone Cops DC Style: The 1st Hundred Days
Have you ever seen any Keystone Cops episodes? This was a slapstick film series popular in theatres over a hundred years ago, good for a lot of laughs. The Keystone Cops were bumbling, incompetent fools, their attempts to keep law and order ending in a series of disasters. Hmmm, that sounds familiar. The second Trump administration is a group of…
Explain These Things, MAGAs
This post has been more than 3 weeks in the making. I thought it would take me 3 or 4 days, but I had to do so much research, and I’ve had so many interruptions. So much is happening so fast on Capital Hill, that I’ve had to go back through the post and insert some of the newest information…
Fake Auto News
I’ll never understand why people get their news from memes. Memes almost always have wrong information. I’ve seen several different memes declaring that automobile companies are moving back to the US in response to Trump’s tariffs. Every one of those memes is wrong. The meme above was first posted on the Facebook page of America’s Last Line Of Defense The…
