I heard two different families having tense conversations about prices and choices at the grocery store on Sunday afternoon that seem to vibrate on the same frequency as this guest column.

I feel bad for that gentleman and his family, I hope they find the resources they need.

But he's also part of the problem because he's full of shit. Specifically, this part...

"This isn't about Red or Blue. It's about the fact that we're being divided against each other while both sides forget that real Americans bleed the same when the cost of insulin triples or the cost of groceries goes up again."

It is totally about "Red" & "Blue". The programs he lauds that help him and his family and the programs he desires to help them more have been and will only be provided in the future by Blue. Red, on the other hand, specifically sets out to destroy those programs or to make sure they're never created in the first place. Blue wants to provide him with resources and opportunities, Red wants to take those resources and opportunities away.

While I feel bad for him and his family, it's hard not to see in that letter the very reason he's in the situation he's in.

Trump DOJ called to remove official accused of 'trying to threaten' a prosecutor

Former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance blasted a top Justice Department official aligned with Donald Trump on Tuesday, saying his recent stunts made him look “more like a teenager creating content for social media than a federal prosecutor.”That official is Edward Martin, who Trump nominated to become...

Republicans must genuinely want to cull the herd. Culture war can’t be the only explanation for blatantly poisoning our air, water, and soils, while concurrently gutting research into the most promising anti: cancer, viral, and autoimmune technology we’ve ever discovered.

You might be right. I genuinely believe a big part of what drives their anti-immigration agenda and building walls is that they know full well that climate change is real and driving mass migration. I can’t quite square the desire to accelerate climate change that’s driving migration, but I guess it’s just plain ol’ greed.

I guess an attempt to cull the herd as they push to crank up birth rate is also at odds.

It’s so hard for me to make sense of the shit they do. Maybe I’m a little slow or maybe you need to be an evil, greedy asshole to really get it.
 
Stephen Miller grew up in Southern California and went to Duke, then moved to AL (I think, for a brief period) before settling in DC. JD Vance, of course, also has no roots in or around DC.

And Miller is as usual projecting. Of course he thinks hippies are 90 years old. I'd think that too if I was 900.

That's not new for D'Souza. He peddled that idea in the mid 90s too. Had a book called End Of Racism or something like that.

I see that book was published in 1995. He was 13 years too soon with that. Racism didn’t end until Obama was elected in 2008.

Well, I can see his point. Back in the 1990s, there were few problems in this country more urgent than the ingratitude shown by black people for all this country has done for them. To think they want reparations. We should get reparations from them, for all the anguish and disruption caused by "the Civil Rights Movement." Why they couldn't just be grateful that, a hundred years after slavery ended, black people were allowed to vote just like white people?
