Steppenwolf

Air Force brat. My dad was shepherd to a bunch of B-52's; the GI's called that place "20 Minutes From Armageddon;" because a missile launched in East Germany would pop over our heads twenty minutes later. That put me in some of the best schools anywhere. I wrote in the Press Office of a powerful, charismatic Midwestern Governor. I dabble in graphic arts. My 50+ entertainment sites get a few million visits, and I have stopped counting the fans, likes, and shares, per year. I've rambled the world, hitched around the continent (counter-clockwise). Climbed a couple of teeners, been to a couple of thousand rock, blues, and jazz concerts. I was at a free concert on Telegraph Avenue, Berkeley, CA with about 350,000 freaks and hippies; and other festivals. I won a writing contest when I was six. It was a Poe-like horror story taken from an account of a mining disaster. I had already been reading Edgar Allan Poe (which may explain a lot). I could read before I could talk. I implemented some of the first client/server, TCP-IP networks (the Internet) at many of the world's largest corporations. I know a half-dozen programming languages, and have implemented and administered many network operating systems. Right now I build ebikes, and lithium batteries from scratch. I was taught that race and ethnicity don't set us apart. I think that the best thing that could happen in this country would be if a woman were to be elected President of the United States. I admire President Obama more than any man in history, save one.

It’s Time for a Second American Revolution

Revolution isn't a war. It is an agreement. Revolution can never come from above, from "governments." War almost always does. Revolution is the only option when government fails to represent the basic morality of a majority, or consensus, of the people. When it fails to be accountable, and responsible.

Michael Bloomberg Reveals Why He Can’t Make His Tax Returns Public, and Why It Matters

Why is Bloomberg saying now that revealing his tremendously complicated taxes would reveal his, "secret sauce," the secret to how he made his fortune, when he has always said that it was an open secret?

Barr Gives the Justice Department a New Mission: Protect Trump!

If, as one of the excellent jobs of writing in today's news posits, Criminal William Barr is the "hitman," then Oathbreaker John Roberts must be the "wheelman," who drove the getaway car.

How To Secure An Election, And How Not To. Iowa Should Never Have Happened!

I think that I can shed a little light on what happened in Iowa. And provide a solution or at least a framework for one.

An Inconvenient Truth – Rick Santorum Says Truth Is Irrelevant

First, Republicans told us that, "Truth isn't truth." Then, the most remorseless liar that I've ever seen informed us further that, "There's no such thing as truth." Now, Mr. Santorum would have us believe that, "Truth is irrelevant."

Political Parties – The Ghost In The Machine

In a rather odd corner of philosophy lives a strange creature of the mind. We call him, "the Ghost Within the Machine." The idea has been around for ages (since Descartes), and in many different forms. Now, we usually use the words to refer to how computers seem to sometimes do unexpected things, that the designers and planners, or users, never imagined.

When Will William Barr Make His Move – Today?

When Will The FBI, Or William Barr, Make It's Move To Subvert Trump's Impeachment Trial? Today?

In the Era of Trump, There’s One Main Question. Why?

Why do Republicans appear to be playing an all-in, "Doomsday" game. Is there no tomorrow, Mitch?

The Real Impeachment Hoax is the Trial

Republicans will be able to block, individually, any new witnesses. They will do this with every important witness. That's a rigged trial.

Mitch McConnell’s Senate: Our National Disgrace

There have to be limits on power. If there are none, then evil men and women will use fear, brute force, and nationalism to enslave us.
