JD Vance
Besides being our current vice president, JD Vance is a very interesting man, with a very inspiring story to tell. JD (James David) Vance was born in Ohio, and he certainly did not come from a privileged background. In fact, he grew up in an impoverished and broken family, and he and his sister were raised primarily by…

Canadian Politics Redux
I guess having a new thread goes nicely with having a new government. :) So Trudeau is ending Canada's bombing campaign in Syria and redirecting that money to more humanitarian efforts. I for one and very happy about this. That is more along the lines of what Canada is about IMHO.

The all-purpose heavy duty Climate Chaos thread (sprinkled with hope).
I'm not asking to be bating, or to be right (I wish I were wrong about all this), or put anyone down. I really don't get it. Greta Thunberg asks this questions in this very direct, almost confrontational talk seen here: https://www.ted.com/talks/greta_thunberg_the_disarming_case_to_act_right_now_on_climate?language=en She…

Nationalization of Private Industry under Trump
Since the right has been screaming for years about the left being commies and socialists that were going to redistribute wealth etc, how does everyone feel about the Trump administration strong arming private industry into a shareholding position. 10% of Intel with more to follow no doubt. Sounds anti capitalist and…

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will end in May 2026 because of "financial reasons". But as we all know he has been critical of the orange man. And Paramount is trying to do a merger with SkyDance who's guy in charge is orange man's fan. The Daily Show is in danger as well.

Voting Redistricting or Gerrymandering
I'm sure everyone has heard the news and all the districts looking to change the voting landscape in whomever is in powers' favor. This has been going on forever and nothing new but it is dominating headlines now. Texas had the dems leave so it couldn't happen. Newsome in Cali is doing so too. I would expect more of the…
