    Philadelphia PA 17Feb2025 All content by Rich Gardner unless otherwise noted. What are MAGA people after? Well, what they most appear to enjoy is “owning the libs.” Right now, what MAGA people really want to do is to be culturally dominant. To have liberals, and especially liberal women, look up to them.

    A larger-than-usual crowd in really cold weather to protest Senator Fetterman’s position on the war in Gaza. On December 4th, Amnesty International concluded Israel was committing genocide in Gaza. This follows several other organizations concluding the same thing, but okay. According to AP, Trump won Pennsylvania by 50.4%. Harris got 48.7%, Stein (strongly pro-Palestinian) not…

    Looking through my comics collection once, I decided that I really like the superhero team comics the best. As I had a good family growing up, I don’t need to read about families, but a band of brothers/teammates? I had something like that in the Navy (PN3, USN, 1991-2001), but that idea has always appealed…

    Went to Ocean City NJ for New Years. I told some people at church about attending “First Night” there. As Boston started doing that back in the 70s, the idea has spread all over the country, but Philadelphia has never followed suit, so very few people here have ever heard of it. It’s also held…
