A former Republican–one who once held a leadership position in his local committee–looks with dismay at what has happened to his party. A nugget; follow the link for his evidence.

. . . the party that once honored knowledge, required people to have legitimate credentials, respected science and reason began its descent into insanity. Trump was merely the end piece of what and started over a decade earlier. Now, the bigger lunatic and liar one is, the better one’s chances for rising within the GOP, a party that now clings to every insane conspiracy theory no matter how far fetched.

A quibble: I think the change started several decades earlier than he suggests. It took time for the rot to take root and spread before its fruit fully ripened and burst into view.

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
