Willy Loman: Trump is about to get his wish, lock children up longer
In the US it is currently against the law to imprison children who enter the US illegally. The 1997 law known as the the Flores Settlement Agreement (Flores) set national standards regarding the detention, release, and treatment of all children in immigration detention and underscores the principle of family unity.It requires

Apparently Carl from the US State department (Passports Division) is planning a forthcoming trip to Canada. Please verify that he has a working brain and beating heart, we have enough heartless zombies here and we don’t need any new American ones. Read the Guardian article here.

It all started out as a humorous post in 2014, about Stephen Harper’s war room trying to get something on Justin Trudeau after he took over the leadership of the Liberal party. Apparently and shockingly it might very well be true. An anonymous source has now come forward and claims

My twitter account gained two new followers this month Jackson Browne and David Crosby. Now, I know that my grand total of forty followers doesn’t compare in quantity to Kinsella’s, as he reminded us this week, but my followers are a hell of a lot more progressive than his. On the

Us millennial types like to peruse the Progressive Bloggers aggregator via our iPhones (thank you Steve may you rest in peace), and as nice as your new WordPress theme is somewhat 2010ish, it doesn’t work on an iPhone or I assume the cheaper glitzier Chinese knockoffs. Do you want to

I must be getting old, I’m having a Decarie moment and can’t log into ffibs, so I’m posting this monstrosity on Willy Loman. I started this back when Trump misspelt the invitations to his State of the Union and then more and more events happened that I wanted to add

Damn you Google Earth and your Deep State technology!

In a complete turn around to how we spend most evenings, my granddaughter watched the Grammys on TV last night while I watched on my iPad via youtube. She knew all the artists and their songs except for Elton John. Sting, U2 and the country folk. Her favourite act was

Thought I’d try that new millennial thing this year. You know that online shopping thing using your computer, that the kids are all into today. Saved a ton of time, however there were a few drawbacks. On boxing Day I had to spend a half an hour with my eleven

Even though I am blocked from commenting on his blog, I often check out his take on current events. After all he is the most recognizable name and certainly the only true celebrity that regularly posts on Progressive Bloggers. An author, TV personality and an expert on backroom political tactics,

If eight African American women had come out against Roy Moore, their voices wouldn’t of been heard, because Moore is a god fearing, good old Roy and in Alabama black lives don’t matter, but their votes apparently do. The African American voters showed up in force and enough white folk

We were married for 45 years and forty one days. The first time we met you were wearing a very short Nova Scotia plaid skirt and climbing up and down a rolling stockroom ladder, moving cases of Arid deodorant cans from a skid to a stockroom shelf. Having time to

Flynn just pleaded guilty to lying to FBI, in a plea deal where he will cooperate with Mueller. Meanwhile MSNBC has come out with this release that Flynn will testify that Trumop directed him to make contact with the Russians. Panic in the stock markets and panic in the White

With a niqab ban, anti-immigrant rallies and now a gun registry protest, the next thing you know Quebecers will start wearing cowboy hats and demanding that the rest of us will have to start kissing their asses. A Quebec pro gun group was planning a rally to protest against the

from RollingStone article Anatomy of a fake news scandal. Never heard Bernie speak until after the US election, saw the debates and thought Hillary cleaned Trump’s clock. Knew Trump was a prick and couldn’t understand how any sane person would vote for him, yet for some reason, I called myself

While agonizingly reading this eight page book about the Lego Batman movie and all of it’s characters, for the umpteenth time, my seven year old grandson turns to me and says… “Grandad you know Robin, Batman’s sidekick, he’s really a Dick.” I need to start communicating with more adults.

Don’t do much anymore except make breakfast for one of my grandkids, a seven year old boy, walking him to school, picking him up and then having philosophical conversations about his day. Living in the basement of my daughter’s house, I really try, to not interfere with their parenting, but
