TAPA # 160 MURDERS IN MINNEAPOLIS
Trump has no bottom to his depraved indifference to citizens’ rights. What we have witnessed in the Trump-directed invasion of Minnesota and the murders in Minneapolis confirm his fundamental inability to lead or protect the public, indeed, even our most basic right to life itself.

TAPA # 159 A JAN 6TH REDUX
This morning, I dreaded reading the papers. The murder of Alex Jeffrey Pretti, an intensive-care nurse and U.S. citizen living in Minneapolis, by federal agents sworn to protect us was revealed in bystander video.

TAPA # 155 ” GOOD AND PROPER “
When I first read this, I thought it was a comedy skit spoofing Donald Trump’s long-standing obsession with the Nobel Peace Prize. But no, it is real. Written by the President of the United States.
