Your writing on the current and longstanding mess more than suffices.

I’ll focus on minutia for a moment.

Based on what you briefly mentioned in this piece, you might be the ONLY other person I know without pay tv. When Reinsdorf/Einhorn brought Sportsvision to Chicago I never saw pay-tv becoming the norm.

Though I would accept payments to watch TV, who would ever pay to watch it?

Boy, was I wrong.

Now, even I pay a few dollars a month for one service — no, it’s not a porn channel — but I don’t have home wi-fi. I hook up a lightning cable from my phone to the digital tv. I still had an old analogue TV from the late 80s or early 90s until a little over a year ago.

To your writing today: It was almost overwhelming to my weak intellect when I understood that what the US is funding in Gaza is the same as what it has done to other parts of the world — and even domestically — throughout its history.

Beats me how the big top Biden photo isn't the photo that goes up in the banner here.

I guess blowing it up in the text doesn't change that it was small sized online.

Not that the climate catastrophe isn't the biggest issue of our or any time, but for this partricular piece the Biden photo was supposed to be the banner.

Biden's slitty eyes, quavering voice and generally dressed up fragile physical and cognitive state is ridiculous and this is the candidate the DNC put up against Trump! I swear there must be billions flowing into the presidential ,congressional,("both parties") corporate campaigns for what we are unleashing in an already angry world!

Paul, I love reading your posts as they get behind the hypocrisy and corrupt wordsmithing done by the political/media elite in the US. I genuinely dislike Biden/Trump and their minions who appear in the media and state falsehoods and ingenuity.

I would like to see Dr Jill Stein win the presidency but am sane enough to know the two cheeks of the same arse of the uniparty (plus the corporate/banking elites) won't let it happen.

Now that Genocide Joe Biden is unleashing the American war weapons for the Ukrainians to use in Russian territory, perhaps none of us will be around for the farcical November election.
