First, disclosure: I’m what is often called a “fallen away” Catholic, that departure from Catholicism having been accomplished in my mid-teens. And I never looked back, could never ignore the multiple hypocrisies of the Church, on which I won’t elaborate here. But I have observed the occasional outgassing of populism in the current Pope Francis’ […]
It’s Manchin’s fault. It’s Sinema’s fault. Or so the legislatively feckless Democratic Party would have us believe. The reason, of course, is to deflect any opinions that the entire Democratic party — both parties — are useless at addressing the people’s needs and wants.

As we await a British high court ruling on the fate of Julian Assange — still being degraded by existence in London’s Belmarsh Prison — I can’t help but reflect on my personal experience of the Espionage Act (EA). The EA is an absurd statute, supposedly designed to prosecute seditious acts against the good ol’

They — Israel — have done lots of research into two areas that interest us here at Bumrack: Cannabis biology and the upsides and downsides of COVID vaccines. And notwithstanding vaccine mediocrity, they vaccinated their population quite rapidly. Their citizens have national healthcare. WE in the US have allowed Pharma to suppress Cannabis research, and

We regularly read discussions and opinions on the topic of how many years remain for bold action on climate change. What this profusion of rhetoric neglects or ignores is the sad fact that, in fact, we have ZERO years to act to attenuate or reverse ecocide, the decrease of animal or plant populations and wholesale
A report from the trenches seems to indicate a growing excitement by CVS, and presumably other corporate pharmacies like Walgreens and Walmart, to up the shot count. And one immediately wonders how much they’re getting reimbursed per stab. CVS corporate manager: “How many shots did you give today?” Pharmacist: “COVID?” Manager: “No, I mean all
