    WELCOME NEW FOLLOWERS 🙏🏽 If you're new to my commentary: I'm a political independent — I don't support either establishment party or their corporate media mouthpieces. I'm a follower of Jesus (not of organized religion), and I believe we are called to protect the vulnerable and oppressed. I grew up a hunter and gun owner, was a child conscript, and survived a decade in a war zone. Which is why I find human violence, in all its terrible forms, to be a scourge on our planet. I've been working in national politics for 25 years, and I've come to recognize that Americans are among the most propagandized people in the world. I believe in liberty and justice for ALL, freedom of speech and religion, due process, and our Constitutional right to protest. I respect those who are willing to defend their principles under all circumstances, not just when it fits a partisan agenda. I believe in honor, loyalty, integrity, fairness, family, and community. I believe no one in America (or anywhere) should be homeless, hungry, or lack health care. I don't want my government subsidizing war crimes or fighting other people's conflicts. I respect healthy debate and disagreement, but I have no tolerance for duopoly talking points and spin. Most importantly, I believe we must treat each other with compassion, kindness, and love. Thank you for being here. P.S. Before politics, I had a career as a producer/keyboardist, working on hundreds of recordings by artists including Miles Davis, Björk, and Mariah Carey. More here:

    How much suffering must the Palestinian people endure while world leaders do nothing? Is there no end to these horrors, no limit to the cruelty?

    Nope. I'm a Jesus follower and I deeply believe that Jesus welcomes ANYONE who is good, just, and kind.

    If you are not a Christian, you should be absolutely horrified by the reality of God's coming judgment. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

    Just saw that @ProudSocialist posted this earlier:
    Power to the People ☭🕊 @ProudSocialist
    November NBC News Poll: Chuck Schumer 13% Hakeem Jeffries 18% Donald Trump 33% The “Democratic” party is going to install Schumer as Leader and Jeffries as Speaker despite the fact that they have lower approval ratings than Donald Fucking Trump. Liberals got played so hard, but if it’s any consolation, everyone gets played by the duopoly. The function of both parties is not to serve the people, but to serve the rich and powerful.

    RT @NickKristof: .@AbdulElSayed makes the fundamental point that criticism of Israel's misconduct is not necessarily a swipe at Jews any more than criticism of Egypt's misconduct is is a swipe at Arabs. If you don't care for human rights for all, you don't actually care about human rights at all.

    I've been in politics for a quarter century. It's hard to express how staggering it is to see a conversation like this on corporate US media. The Morning Joe panel gobsmacked by the directness of @AbdulElSayed's points. (clip via @DropSiteNews)

    Marjorie Taylor Greene speaks about Gaza with more moral clarity than Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries combined. And that's a big problem for Dems.

    NEWS: There's now talk of Marco Rubio resigning and Hegseth being ousted. The Israel Firsters are going to pay a steep political price for the GOP's midterm collapse. Which is why Israel bought off Jeffries and Schumer as a hedge.

    Thank you. 🙏🏽 I worked with Kerry and the Clintons, among other senior Dems. I genuinely believed the Democratic Party was better. But I listened to my conscience and recognized that BOTH ruling parties serve the oligarchs not the people. So I became an independent.

    You and your fellow Democratic war criminals, Biden and Harris, put Israel First and cost Dems the last election. Republicans put Israel First and lost this election. THAT is the key takeaway from the midterms.
    Antony Blinken @ABlinken
    There’s another key take away from the midterm elections: disgust with corruption and self-dealing by our elected officials.  That shouldn’t be a surprise. Most of the major social and political movements of the past two decades -- the self-immolation of a Tunisian fruit vendor, the occupation of Tahrir Square in Egypt, the Euromaidan protests in Ukraine, the candlelight revolution in South Korea, the IMDB scandal in Malaysia, the “You Stink” movement in Lebanon, the “car wash” backlash in Brazil – were catalyzed by popular revulsion with corruption.  Why should it be any different in America?

    Israel is blowing limbs off Gaza's children, then denying them prosthetics after amputations. This is the country Hakeem Jeffries vowed he'll support "always and forever, always and forever."
