Cross posted from Blue Virginia This morning, former Virginia Lt. Gov.

Memorial Day 2026 Cartoon – Is this what they fought for?
I think about all the promotions blocked by Sec Hegseth, the anti DEI policies, the diminishment of far more qualified career soldiers by a talking head, the rewriting of history, and the introduction of Christian White Nationalism into the Armed Forces as some kind of Jihad to rally the troops, and then I look at…

Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA), Punchbowl News: Too Little, Too Late? “People are concerned about paying their mortgage or rent, affording groceries and paying for gas, not about putting together a $1.8 billion fund for the president and his allies to pay whomever they wish with no legal precedent or accountability.” How corrupt is Donald Trump?…

I have been getting flyers in the mail and I admit to voting for Paxton in the GOP primary. Why? I disagree with everything that both Paxton and Cornyn do.

The Ballroom Presidency – How America Has Drifted Toward Court Politics
We have a President, but for all intents and purposes, our King is holding court and receiving tribute.
