I’ve been reading all these news articles regarding the sick, narcissistic Jeffrey Epstein.
All of us have had best friends in our lifetime. Anyone from any walk of life who thinks that two best friends didn’t try to duplicate what each other did is more than gullible — it’s stupid, too.
It’s long past due to impeach President Trump for a third time, remove him from office and save America. We all should be on board with this move, as we all are for America and against abusing young women — at least I would hope so.

A broken Congress
The government is no longer shut down, but Congress is still shut down.
Let’s look at the facts.
The No. 1 issue facing Congress should be finishing the 2025-2026 federal budget.
The last time Congress passed all 12 regular appropriation bills by the Oct. 1 deadline was for fiscal year 1997.
Instead of starting work on the 2026-2027 budget, Congress is still haggling over the current numbers. We have a dysfunctional Congress whose top priority is whether to release the Epstein files. It’s a task without meaningful purpose.
Congress should investigate why it takes almost two years to build a nuclear sub when we need at least 10, or why we can’t build ships or airplanes to meet our military needs.
Congress should ask why replacing Air Force One, begun under Obama, will not be complete until Trump is out of office, possibly in 2029.
This is not a Republican or Democratic issue. This is a systemic government problem. We should just vote them all out of office and start over.

Calling all Democrats
Democrats need to get back in the game.
Let Pete Buttigieg carry the ball, and back him up with David Axelrod, James Carville and David Plouffe.
Raise lots and lots of money and choose young, high-quality candidates for the 2026 midterm election. Give them a left-centered platform that includes housing affordability, women’s rights, the restoration of the Affordable Care Act and SNAP benefits, protecting the Constitution, due process and above all, the truth.
All the things that Trump and Republicans have denied or voted against.
This “New Democratic Party” should embrace thoughts of independents and patriotic Republicans, and Barack and Michele Obama should take an active role as well.
This new campaign can operate on two fronts — calling out Trump and Republican lies and cruelty, and the message of a bright future carried by Democrats and independents.

Truth as a novelty
It has become mandatory: MAGA Republicans have sworn not to believe that the truth is honest, reliable, correct, factual, accurate, frank or sincere.
Their only opinion of the truth is that it is strictly a novelty and should be used very sparingly, if at all.
