I met a woman from Minneapolis this morning, appeared to be in her 70s, grandmother of six, who was in town for an annual family gathering.  I mentioned that I thought it was a shame that such a productive, peace-loving and beautiful city as hers had been through such intense violence.

She replied that that ICE is essentially a terrorist organization. “They’ll grab some random protestor, throw him in a snowbank and publicly spit on him, just to show the crowd who’s in charge.”

Trump’s America.

“They’re gone now, but there’s no guarantee that they won’t come back,” she said.

ICE in Minneapolis

One of the more bizarre aspects of life in America today is our government’s obsession with inserting itself into meaningless parts of our lives.

Why does the Pentagon have a list of religions it recognizes?

Who could possibly give a s*** as to which ones are on that list?

Focusing on Things that Matter

I’m happy to report that I don’t know a single person who would conclude, beyond a reasonable doubt, that “86 45” is a suggestion that Trump should be assassinated.
