My dad, a recipient of the Medal of Honor, passed away two weeks ago. He spoke often about the qualities of leadership- honor, integrity, competence, confidence, and humility. Trump lacks all but confidence. He’s not just ignorant, he’s dangerous. cnn.com/2024/08/16/us/…

Every good author understands that sacrifice is the essence of heroism. Thankfully every President but one understood that. Yesterday Trump revealed that either (1) he doesn't (2) worse, he does & ridicules the idea. Incomprehensible he was ever commander in chief. Never again.

Never was a huge Springsteen fan, but tonight I randomly heard "Born In the USA." Talk about capturing contradictions and singing with MF'ing passion. "Down in the shadow of the penitentiary, out by the gas fires of the refinery... nowhere to run, nowhere to go." Chilling images.

This illustrates how far an apple can fall from the tree. (Comparable to the distance between the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies.)

Sadly, Nelson DeMille died yesterday. This generous writer blurbed my first book back in '93, was so kind & cool when we met later on. A Vietnam vet, his war novel WORD OF HONOR transcended genre, had a stunning twist ending, and should absolutely be made into a streaming series.

Welcome to Mississippi. No state ever more desperately needed change at the top.

I just heard that Maggie Smith died, and I am seriously bummed. Luminous talent that never faded.

Tried to post something about an old Pete Seeger protest song. Looks like X pulled it down or something's wrong with my feed. Too damn tired and loaded w steroids to try to fix it. Everybody have a great Sunday.

Choices say so much. John LeCarre wrote that a nation's secret services are the only real measure of its health. White America was always going to grasp a last hope of clinging to supremacy, as elites have through history. That half choose Donald Trump in spite of all... telling.

If you want to place control of nuclear weapons in the hands of a candidate and party that believes human beings can control the weather... you're not only stupid, but a danger to the human race. Please don't vote. Go back to junior high science class.

If you ever feel cheesy for liking Karen Carpenter's voice, be aware that both John Lennon and Paul McCartney loved it.

Watching my old Republican friends attack General Kelly is such a lesson in character. You start out saying you have to vote for Trump because of Hillary Clinton and wake up one day attacking General Kelly to defend a criminal wandering around the country talking about Arnold

In the summer of ‘66, “Eleanor Rigby” and “God Only Knows”topped the UK charts—#1 and #2—a high-water mark for pop music as art. Heard both tonight. Wow. Time machine, and a blessed break from reading about Americans who want a Hitler fan to rule them.

Coming 2 u from the birthplace of the blues: migrating to where the sky is blue, not raining shit from the Xth percentile, who haven't figured out the ticket they bought. Keeping this to monitor the slide into anarchy. Never tweeted much, but now & then... I'll be there, friends.

RFK Junior thinks there's conclusive proof ivermectin works for Covid but there isn't enough evidence for vaccines He uses long words and sounds convincing But he has no idea what he is talking about.

A tough Louisiana boy.

What I’d have given to see George S. Patton sit in on the Trump/Vance/Zelensky meeting at the White House. He’d have bitch-slapped two of them for selling out American honor and principles to a Russian war criminal.

Tuberville is even dumber than Trump, and that’s saying something. But I’d think he’d at least respect a gutsy fighter with his back against his own goal line—Zelensky.
