A Preliminary Inventory of Trump’s Lies about the Mar-a-Lago Search — NANMYKEL.COM

Originally posted on Bob Shepherd | Praxis: Don the Con, how do I loathe thee? Let me count the ways from just the last few days. Trump suggested that the FBI might have “planted” documents when he knew that he and his family members had watched the search live on Mar-a-lago’s closed-circuit television system. So, this…

The Week’s Best Cartoons: FBI Seize Sensitive Docs from Mar-a-Lago

Filosofa's Word

The big news … almost the only news this past week was the search warrant executed by the FBI for classified documents Trump stole from the people when he left the White House in disgrace. No doubt other news happened, but there was little reported on it, so naturally, the weekly political cartoons reflect that. As she does every week, TokyoSand over at Political Charge has culled some of the best ones from the week. Sometimes it’s hard to find the humour, but the political cartoonists are pretty damn good at it! Thank you, TS, for your hard work!


The week started off with a big win for Joe Biden (the passing of the Inflation Reduction Act) and ended with the bombshell that the FBI seized a trove of extremely sensitive documents from Trump’s residence at Mar-a-Lago. Here’s how editorial cartoonists covered that story.

♫ You Don’t Bring Me Flowers ♫

Learning Empathy, and Hope for Housing, on Day 24/67?

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

My thoughts on Day 24 of my 67 night-school class set of lesson plans for GED/HiSet learners, remain on how to build compassion, if not social empathy.
How, or what ideas do you have on this, could we help build more social empathy and compassion into our society?
And housing. How in the heck do we get a market based system to build housing when Enough for All is fundamentally in contrast to the interests of a profit-maximizing home-ownership system (i.e. home values go up far faster w/a shortage of housing…)?
Sorry, I am still tired.
I am still sure that the human race can Do Better.
Shira
