Martin's Park
Author: TriSec Date: 06/15/2019 10:07:54

On April 15, 2013, Boylston Square in Boston was devastated by a terrorist attack.

There were three immediate fatalities.

Three people were killed in the bombing. Krystle Marie Campbell, a 29-year-old restaurant manager from Medford, Massachusetts, was killed by the first bomb. LÃ¼ Lingzi, a 23-year-old Chinese national and Boston University statistics graduate student from Shenyang, Liaoning, and 8-year old Martin William Richard from the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston, were killed by the second bomb.

Welcome Back, My Friends, to the Show That Never Ends
Author: Raine Date: 06/13/2019 12:52:51

What you are seeing is real. It's also hard to believe when viewing it from a lens of reality, and that is the very painful part to accept. This administration is the rotted head and the party it represents the decayed corpse. Let's review just the past couple of days.

It's starting to get real, folks. The first Democratic primary is about 6 months away. The first debate is just 2 weeks away.

With 23 democrats running to be the Democratic candidate, it's going to be a crowded stage. Not unlike the Republican field in 2016, the party has had to set some guidelines as to who can participate. In short, if a candidate is 1% or better in the polls, or has "received donations from at least (1) 65,000 unique donors; and (2) a minimum of 200 unique donors per state in at least 20 U.S. states", then they may participate in the debate.

Good Morning.

I was musing last night that on the next President's watch, we'll be "celebrating" the 20th anniversary of the events of 9-11. We'll also be passing our 20th anniversary at war.

Longtime readers of this column will remember our old ticker-tape, and to revisit, we've been at war in Afghanistan since October 7, 2001. That's a whopping 6,456 days...or 17 years, 8 months, and 4 days.

It's Monday again and I don't have much to talk about this morning. This exclusive from WaPo is a bit astounding.

Just thought I'd post some pictures of the beauty of the US. Sometimes I forget, being in the myopic world of suburbia just how majestic this country is.

Defeat the fascist
Author: Raine Date: 06/06/2019 13:05:36

I'm angry that the person representing the United States of America at the 75th anniversary of D-Day to defeat fascism is a fascist white supremacist.

With the release of the Meuller report, and the drumbeat for "impeach", there are some pearl-clutchers who think the Democrats in the House should instead focus on getting legislation passed (as if they can only do one or the other). That makes the very naive and/or uninformed assumption that they haven't.
