I speak today about the relief of the USSĀ Lincoln, the racism around the naming of a new carrier, and the real story of the 1963 March on Washington For Jobs and Freedom.
How do you deal with uncertainty?
Not very well, I just wait for more information to come in.

Whatās a thing I wish schools actually taught?
Critical thnking skills, allowing students to seriously question what they’ve been taught, as opposed to a teacher just babbling rehashed printings in antiquated books.

Resolutions for my birthday 2026
My birthday is just a few days away, and I continue my tradition of birthday resolutions:
I will continue to conduct myself with self-love, self-esteem, and self-respect, carrying myself with dignity, thinking more positively about my life and my work.
I will continue to be faithful to Jewish history, religion, culture, etc.
I will continue the practice of moderate exercise, 5-10 not killing myself with it.
I will continue my art and craft as a writer, taking classes, attending readings and conferences, etc.
I will continue such spiritual practices as meditation, prayer, Torah study, etc.

Greetings, Americans!
Soon, I wonāt say how soon, Iāll celebrate my birthday. Hopefully, I have gained some wisdom along my life path. I have had so many wonderful mentors teaching me the Way, and I hope to pass their wisdom on to future generations.
One thing Iāve learned, truly held beliefs and ideas are not fad items. Certain movements can be fashionable and hip, but itās the LOOONG run, after the novelty fades, when the media doesnāt cover it 24/7, and thereās the work to be doneāacademic work related to the movement, political campaigns, developing organizations and communications media. The fad fades, like the hula-hoop and the pet rock (yes, Iām THAT old), but the cause goes on. Myself, Iām in for the LOOONG haul.
Where do I begin with this hate-filled, ignorant regime? I consider myself a news junkie, but itās hard to keep up; the regime and its minions keep doing more stupidly evil stuff for us to deal with.
Trump and his lackeys WILL DEFINITELY try to prevent Democrats from voting in November, anything from seizing state voting records to gerrymandering to voter ID laws to sending ICE goons, uh, agents to provide āsecurityā at voting stations, on the flimsiest of excuses, including a ānational emergency.ā There are organizations and individuals prepared to any underhanded thing trump would do to remain in power.
Donāt kid yourself that trump has imperial ambitions; it shows in the Treasury Department minting a $1.00 coin, to his $250.00 bill with his ugly mug on it, to the passports with his face (a disgrace!), to his image draped on the department buildings in Washington, to his vandalism of the East Wing and Rose Garden (what else can you call it?), to putting his name on the John F. Kennedy Center For The Performing Arts, to his name (ugh! That name!) on the US Institute for Peace, to his gold-leafing of the moldings of the White House roomsāthatās the person running our government, and heās lining his pockets along the way.

Recently, Secretary of Weird, uh, War, uh, Defense Pete Hegseth put out a video aimed at military personnel, saying that personnel 30 years and over with be screened for their testosterone levels.
This is one example of the obsession with āmasculinityā driving the regime and its adherents. Along with Hegsethās testosterone fetish, he has removed female officers from the promotion lists to be admirals and generals.
Iām currently reading the book, Regime Change, by Maggie Haberman and Johathan Swan of the New York Times, published by Simon and Schuster. When I read of how so many supposedly powerful and venerable institutions submitted to trumpās tyrannyāABC News, CBS News, Harvard University, several high-end law firmsāthe angrier I got. They didnāt have the spine to stand up to tRump, so therefore WE, the working and low-income people of the United States, have the task of saving America from this regime. Thatās the way itās always been, in popular culture and social change, it starts from the bottom-up.
Let US, therefore, have the honor of rescuing America from the Ā physically and morally decrepit, gold-plated Putin-wannabe scumbag lurking in the White Houseābefore he wreaks more damage on itāand our future generations will thank us for it.
Stay safe, stay strong, and stay together! Slava Ukraini! Am Yisrael Chai! Fuck Trump! America will be free!
Bye!
