Critical Thoughts

My backyard ❤️

Someone's got to take the car keys (and nuclear launch codes) away from Grandpa. He's not all there and in recent days he seems to be losing it fast. (Think King Lear on the heath hurling ketchup packets at the heavens.) My latest. www.thedailybeast.com/trump-doesnt...

Operation Stormy Daniels. Haha

People are losing their jobs. Prices keep climbing. Measles continues to spread. Bird flu is raging. Veterans are getting fired. The stock market is a roller coaster. Our alliances are being shattered. Ukrainian civilians are getting bombed by Russia. Donald Trump is golfing.

One of our best security experts sums it up:

Military aid to Ukraine has always been a bargain for the U.S. We degraded Russia’s armed forces and replaced our own stockpiles with brand new weapons, all while brave Ukrainians— not Americans—fought the Russians off. Halting that aid is not only morally repulsive, it’s plain stupid.

Look what's happening at the French Embassy in Washington DC.

The largest purchaser of wine is the Liquor Control Board of Ontario. The shelves of Kentucky whiskey, American beer and California wine are now empty. The LCOBO was doing a brisk business - good news for Canadian, French, Spanish, Australian, Chilean. Sucks for Kentucky and California.

When America faltered, others stood up to lead.

Dan Crenshaw: "There is absolutely no way that Donald Trump will be seen -- he will not let himself go down in history as having sold out to Putin. He will not let that happen." (Bookmark this one.)

It’s a cliché to say it—and no two historical scenarios offer a perfectly compelling analogy—but what each American is doing now is what they’d be doing were they a German living in Germany and were it 1936-38 There’s no more doubt about who the appeasers or the bad guys are—they’re in the open now

For all the unfair characterizations of women as being subpar “DEI” hires, most of the BEST managers I've ever reported to were women. I can think of TWO highly-qualified Women in particular who aren't convicted felons who would be a TRILLION times better than the buzzard in the Oval Office.

Gardening Australia never gave this top tip

2. Your Pet Could Be Part of the Problem (But There's a Solution) The impact of domestic pets on urban birds is staggering. Cats may look cute, but they're also deadly, killing birds in their millions. Dogs are less lethal,

Gardens need to support diverse food sources year-round. Plant a mix of species that attract insects, provide nectar at different times, and create varied habitats.

Canadians booing the U.S. national anthem isn’t something I ever thought I’d see, but this is what happens when you let a psychopath criminal with isolationist and protectionist policies back into the White House.

I've been posting about my hugelkultur projects. This is a great article how and why to use this gardening method: www.farmersalmanac.com/what-hugelku...

Using the American Airlines/Blackhawk helicopter tragedy to trash Obama and Biden and praise himself is as malicious as it is typical of this narcissist. — Shame on all of you who voted for Trump as President. This monster and his actions will be your responsibility. Forever.

Absolutely bush league and childish. It’s like listening to a child figure out what happened. Let grown adults work it out first Mr. President then you can send your opinion

Just a sick broken man. Every aircrew I ever lost in peacetime accidents over 22-years of service and combat were white men. It’s dangerous.

Blackhawk crashes into a plane over the Potomac? DEI. Wife left you? DEI. Your children hate you? DEI. Gambled away your savings on a Trump crypto coin? DEI.

UPDATE # 32,944: Tonya Harding has joined Twitter/X & it’s going about as you’d expect

I’m sure this had nothing to do with the crash whatsoever…

It's going to come as a big shock to all that Russian Ron Johnson blamed Joe Biden for the crash on FOX, this AM... Put that in your loony bin and smoke it,

⚠️RFK Jr just told the US Senate that he does not know if COVID vaccines saved millions of lives. 2.4 million lives were saved by the COVID vaccines in the first 8 months alone. COVID vaccines prevented >18.5 million US hospitalizations, 3.2 million deaths and saved $1.15 trillion in the US alone

This.

Using the tragic plane collision over the Potomac that cost 67 human souls as an occasion to slam DEI hiring was obscene. There’s zero evidence at this point that an underqualified air traffic controller or pilot had any role in this crash.

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence. He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials. It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.

Pete Buttigieg sets the record straight.

This is what Project 2025 looks like.

Someone just asked me, “Is Donald Trump so simpleminded that he thinks there is a water main to turn all of California’s water back on?” And we both laughed, realizing that the imbecile probably does think that.

Trump just shut down Meals on Wheels for America's Senior Citizens. Trump is coming for your Social Security and Medicare next.

Dear God. I almost feel sorry for anyone who allows themself to be fooled by this guy.

While MAGAs and Trump are taking a victory lap over the Colombia fiasco….this is what actually happened there

Take it from former Republicans: Dems need to fight like Republicans. Grill Trump nominees hard. Tulsi Gabbard is a massive threat to our natl security. What question do YOU think the committee must ask Tulsi? Let us know, we're emailing the best questions to members directly.

As a father of five kids, I totally agree with this evergreen post.
