COMMENT FROM KATHY: My favorite quote from the holiday season is this: “They thought they could bury us. They did not know we were seeds.” A lot of “they’s” there but helps my activism health. Happy New Year. A good friend, who always prefers anonymity, sent this message, received at 9:25 p.m. Dec. 31: “Hi […]

Most especially, the great populist, Donald Trump and his family, make out like bandits. 2) The rest of us seem to get a little richer in 2018, but that […]
Today is one week to Christmas Day. Who wants (or has time) to be bothered with taxes and criminal investigations? Read “Gifting America” if you wish. I recommend your taking the time. Then decide what you are going to do…and when…or if…. It’s “Christmas future” we’ll all be facing, possibly about to be snuck in […]

There have been several comments to yesterday’s post about the Dec. 12 U.S. Senate election in Alabama.
