Here's a method to resist that I've not seen anywhere. Every PAROLE OFFICER in America should be sent images of the roughest ICE agents, especially in their region. Do you doubt there are plenty of of ex-cons in ICE? Even masked, they'd probably be…

A few out there appear immune to the Zorblaxxian Ray, able to read patiently and comment cogently. Here’s one fellow, going by a nom-de-plume “The Mongoose,” whose Substack appraisal of my “Newer Deal” is not only lucid, but also riffs some fresh…

Ten years ago I posted on Republican obsessions re naval ships, especially naming them in ways that carry out immature grudges. And that was back when GOP insanity was merely Neocon warmongering and cheating, before the present era of…

For 2 years I spoke of Ukraine's right to do this under the rules of war - drone-hitting an RF tanker in the Med. They could even buy and outfit an AFU navy ship in some friendly port and roam the high seas. Arrrr.
