Listen to this brilliant Roman statesman, lawyer, political theorist, philosopher, and Roman constitutionalist who played a critical role in the transformation of the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire.

The failure to heed his warnings will spell the death of America.

There is no change without contemplation. The whole image of Buddha under the Bodhi tree says here is an action taking place that may not appear to be a meaningful action.

Yeah, Chris, call it what it is - a coup! A takeover of the federal government by outside forces. Use language the average non-newswatcher understands.

The democrats always bring jello to a knife fight. They, too, are bought by big money interests, so seeing them do anything that might stem the MAGA tide is unlikely. Sadly.

Yes, this is a stupid conversation.

In the beginning, God created Man.
However, contrary to the common telling, God did not say, "Man, thou must have a mate."
God said, "Oh, shit, what did I just do?"
So, God created a better model and said unto his initial creation, "Behold, I have created People 2.0, with fewer bugs and glitches. I give you Woman."
And Man was pissed.

You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers. You can tell whether a man is wise by his questions.

After November’s presidential election, I had an epiphany as I sat at a restaurant with other supporters of the losing candidate and commiserated the night after the election. I explore that in my new Motley Mystic. motleymystic.substack.com/p/there-is-n...
