rockhead. Please just STFU for once. Your medical issues are not a threat to your ability to vote. Remember, a picture ID will streamline the process.
I hadn't mentioned it, because it isn't relevant to most political discussions. But, I feel the need to qualify myself on your shallow level. I just got home from a month long hospital stay. Unannounced, unexpected, etc. Like yours, none of it any fun.
 But, I'll vote. Take it to the bank! If you don't, you're just trying to up your victim cred. Many will go through similar medical challenges. Most will just endure it and continue on. try that approach.

BTW, you didn't have to get on a waiting list for critical medical attention as happens in your utopian countries. Our system makes more sense to you now, right?

Glad to have you back Ron.

E. Jean Carroll May Be in Real Trouble

When I saw that E. Jean Carroll, the woman who accused Donald Trump of raping her, was being investigated, I didn't think much of it.

Sure, she pretty clearly lied, and the entire case was a total setup. Democrats love to believe the worst of Republicans and jump on any real or fantastical accusations of bad behavior by Republicans, so perhaps many of them believed her ridiculous story that was based on—I kid you not—copying the plot of an episode of Law and Order: SVU. But then again, Democrats swallowed the accusations against Clarence Thomas and Brett Kavanaugh...

But any objective person who looked into the case could tell it was a setup.
...
Still, I assumed that the investigation was based on a stretch, until I read that the woman who admitted that she thought that rape is "sexy" committed provable perjury.
...
I didn't know that, partly because the case was so transparently a political hit job, and I didn't bother spending much time investigating the case or Carroll. While I knew the case was a hoax, I suspected that it would have much less political impact than the Democrats supposed.

Quote
The investigation is focused on whether Carroll committed perjury in testimony tied to her two civil lawsuits against the president – one alleging he sexually abused Carroll in a New York department store in the mid-1990s, and a second for defaming her when in 2019 he repeatedly denied the assault, said she wasn’t his type and claimed she made it up to boost sales of a book.

Prosecutors’ theory hinges on a 2022 deposition statement by Carroll, 82, that she received no outside funding for her lawsuit, though it was later revealed that billionaire Reid Hoffman had paid some legal fees and expenses.

Trump has one appeal to the USSC pending, and another working its way up the appeals process, so  proving EJC committed perjury might work in her disfavor.

I'm sure DUpipo are birthing hissing yowling devil-kittens over this investigation. Because Trump is too eeeeee-vile to have the right to a fair trial.

Depends on my health. As some of you know, I had a scary trip to the hospital a couple of weeks ago.

So. I'm going to say something blunt right now. If we, as Democrats, do what we did in 2016 and 2024, we will not get another chance.

DONT **** THIS ONE UP! LEARN FROM OUR PAST MISTAKES. WE WILL NOT SURVIVE ANOTHER LOSS!

And if you just shrug your shoulders at my post, it will be your fault

The last thing you should be worried about is voting. Your virtue signaling is gross.

The proposed arch would be located on Columbia Island, between an entry to Arlington National Cemetery and the Lincoln Memorial, across the Potomac River. What kairos12's whinge leaves out, whether from ignorance or deceit:

* The arch would be located on a traffic circle, currently a lawn, designated for memorial use;

* The Cemetery is large enough that the arch would be out of the direct sight-line from most areas of the Cemetery.

Trump made the proposal public in October 2025. It appears that it got on kairos12's whine-dar screen because site survey work started recently. Depending on efforts to obstruct, the arch might or might not be completed before the end of Trump's term.

Here's to a Speedy Recovery, Pam Bondi

No doubt, there were frustrating aspects of former Attorney General Pam Bondi. The fiasco surrounding the Epstein Files is partly her fault—she claimed the client list was on her desk. It was not, which led to months of chaos culminating in her firing last April. However, she also cleaned up many issues within the department, challenged Democrats at hearings, and responded quickly to legal challenges to the Trump administration’s actions. She did a lot of good, but, again, holy hell did she bungle Epstein.

Now, she’s back, being appointed to an advisory panel on artificial intelligence policy. She’s also recovering from cancer (via Axios):

Former Attorney General Pam Bondi has reportedly been quietly battling thyroid cancer in recent weeks following her departure from the Trump administration, according to Axios, and is now recovering after undergoing treatment.

Coincidentally as a 27-year survivor of that same insidious cancer (and my removal surgery was this week in 1999), all I can say is Godspeed, Pam.

BTW, the Dem who defeated Al Green is full-on destructive Prog, https://christianmenefee.com/issues/ . Apparently the district is safe for Dems.



Looks like we will see how this redistricting works for them.
