And I don't mean in the Pacific near Midway. Let's not deny that the West's hungry obsession for circuses of distraction, via entertainment, substances, free love, free speech etc has kept a great many of its greatest creative innovative potentially ambitious minds anonymous, less importantly occupied from focussing on fixing the world. Too much freedom? Hey…
After all, where else will you see a robot, loosed randomly into open space by a princess, land on a sparsely populated sand planet and within that desolate expanse find the brother she never knew existed? As a scientist I have to allow that it could happen: space is vast but not infinite. I'll even…
I can’t say for the evil part, but it’s not so much they see him as insane as they are suffering a sort of insanity themselves. Let me Marksplain. It’s a worldview thing, dating back to the early hilarity of godamutherufkn Donald Trump expressing political aspirations and then rising to the upper echelons of Republican…
Maybe this very moment. You don't get that look for historic peace progress between North Korea and vindication of your Russian collusion accusations alone. It takes the nod of a Kanye West to bestow such true feels. What you see is the moment he's the most successful and powerful he's ever been, at whatever microsecond…

Difficult that search has proven on the Con side...believe it or not, you seem to presently be the best fit for my criteria. Faint praise I know, but I mean…
Admittedly, it's a weak prediction: ***In the future, the letter combination making the wordsound "trump" will have evolved new meanings.*** For certain and with no reasonable room for doubt, the truth of that statement is profoundly, uncontrollably inevitable; in fact, it has already happened. BUT few…
Who am I to judge him anyway? especially on Easter Monday? The answer is, with limits. Questionable timing aside, I am not now nor have I ever been a soothsayer, so whatever politics comes out of this White House and spreads across the world as we know it, time will only tell. All I can…
Not all of them -- not You, I hope, the friendly peaceful majority. I mean those scary out-there old school balls deep 4th century-thinking scimitar-bearing bloodletting slave-berating only-book-I've-ever-opened types, you know the ones (not You, I hope -- what are the chances a Jihadist is reading me?
