A Terrible Day in Our Country and the World – Ed O’Rourke
I am surprised that every church, synagogue, mosque and humanitarian organization in the country was not screaming about the Big Beautiful Bill that will harm millions. We have treatment centers for alcoholics, addicts and people with other infirmities. We need a Twelve Step Program and treatment center for our sociopaths especially the rich ones. See the…
The Big Beautiful Bill Receives Big Beautiful Brutal Satire – Ed O’Rourke
See this excerpt and then read the entire commentary: Which would you rather have, support for your grandfather’s retirement or the reassuring knowledge that, somewhere, ICE is kidnapping someone else’s grandfather and throwing him into a van? Would you rather have food for your child, or the sense that maybe you helped contribute to building…
Outstanding Commentary from Scott Remer and Alternet – Ed O’Rourke
Scott Remer’s commentary ‘’Fighting for Utopia in Tough Times’’ caught my attention in 2017. I made a hard copy. When I saw it this morning, I noticed that not much has changed. The commentary runs 8 pages. The Left must offer a vision worth fighting for, one that people genuinely believe it will carry out. We…
Alaskan State Legislators Comment on the Big, Beautiful Bill – Ed O’Rourke
It will be a humanitarian disaster. An excerpt from their statement: The likely impacts from the “Big, Beautiful Bill” are particularly ugly for our home state, Alaska: Nearly 40,000 Alaskans could lose health care coverage, thousands of families will go hungry through loss of benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, and the…
The Humanitarian Declaration – Ed O’Rourke
I revised the War Abolition Encyclical and made a political statement that people in the Green Party, the Democratic Party and independents would like. Democrats attempt to limit DT’s damage and offer no vision. The vision that I offer here covers the waterfront. I show the add-ons from the war abolition encyclical here. The first one is…
Profiles in Cowardice – Ed O’Rourke
JFK wrote Profiles in Courage. He later noted that it was a short book with only one volume. The Onion offers their editorial with brutal satire. But what can I, one coward, do alone? you might ask. It’s true. As a solitary person, your fecklessness will make little impact. But if you join together with the most craven…
Impeach President Trump – Ed O’Rourke
This is my e-mail to my two fascist senators and my Democratic congressman: Here we go again. Iraq was supposed to be close to having a nuclear weapon. It turns out that they had nothing. The week before the war Pope John Paul II announced that the war was legal and immoral. I anticipate a similar announcement from Pope…
Bryan Tyler Cohen Talks about DT and Iran – Ed O’Rourke
Bryan Tyler Cohen is always entertaining. DT has made many announcements about major decisions that will develop in two and then nothing ever happens. With frequency, the titles that I see on YouTube are in Spanish. The content is in English. Press the asterisk button * and you can get subtitles in many languages. Sincerely, Ed Trump…
A Look at Robert E Lee on Juneteenth – Ed O’Rourke
When growing up Robert E. Lee was a hero. He did a good job beating armies with more soldiers and far more resources. This article told me for the first time how cruel he was with this his slaves. The Civil War was unnecessary. Americans would have been better off separating in 1820 or a later date. The South…
