Create a New Group
If you want to create content with a group of other authors under a single banner, the best way is to create a group blog. You'll be able to collaborate on diaries and have a group private message mailbox. Create the group, then invite friends as editors. The group username will be used for your url and cannot be changed once you have chosen it; all other values can be edited later. More Instructions

- I am enraged. I am gobsmacked. I am heartbroken and miserable - and (somehow), surprised. Though I really should not be. Between the pundits, the MSM talking heads and the usual suspects in the Democratic party (with one shock out of left field from...367 comments 333 Recs
- Say whaa? Indeed. Sure, what I’m about to say is anecdotal, but I’m willing to bet my experience in the hours and days since the Republic was outed as an Imperium, has been similar to yours. People who don’t usually pay attention to politics in the...381 comments 550 Recs
- From TalkingPointsMemo, a reader’s (JG) very astute comment, one more constructive than any damn shit I’ve read in the mainstream press all week. Saw the front page NYT on the Dems “strong bench” that all took a pass on 2024 to avoid (as I would put...35 comments 106 Recs
- I get tired of reading “Imagine if a Democrat said this,” after a GOP boob, often the one named trump, utters some nonsense that challenges our sense of morality, decency, intelligence, and democracy, and then the comment makes a blip of an appearance...39 comments 93 Recs
- With both the pundits and media, as well as the masses, so eager to post their hot takes on whether Biden should stay in the race or step down, it's mind-boggling to me why no one waited for any data to come in before making a snap judgement. In...167 comments 157 Recs

- Since the Supreme Court has now ruled that the President of the United States is a king, I’ve figured out what President Biden’s first decree should be. He should declare the electoral college null and void and state that from here on out the President...322 comments 689 Recs

- Electoral politics are not enough to ensure our liberty. We need bold action from the executive branch to head off the Heritage Foundation’s 2025 project before it is forced upon us all. That means, specifically, President Biden or whomever might...7 comments 6 Recs
- The following was a response I made to another story about backing Biden, but I think it is too important to be missed. This is my short, to-the-point summary of the current candidate outrage: Stand by your man is very noble and all, but the undecided...11 comments 1 Recs
