Ok. So the FF is getting a super plane. Unless he's impeached and found guilty by the Senate of corruption, I really don't care.

Winter's officially over. The chipmunks are back!

In Project 2025, there are dozens of paragraphs stipulating what we are and are not to do with "Communist China." Most above my pay grade to comment on. Just noting the insistence on calling China "Communist China," as if that's a bad thing. It's officially the "People's Republic

Happy Mother's Day! I finally got the present I requested for Christmas! Also a car. :)

The SBA could lose its client base entirely if the tariffs complete taking their toll. Project 2025: "In Chapter 25, Karen Kerrigan describes the Small Business Administration SBA) as a “sprawling, unaccountable agency” replete with “waste, fraud, and mis-management” & guilty

I think the FF has tried to shut this down (really, cars are called ICE-powered? LOL) but so far is failing? California gonna California. Project 2025: "The Biden Administration has also granted California a special waiver under the Clean Air Act that permits the California Air

A big Joke

Kinda disappointed they didn't choose Cardinal Pizzabella. We could have had Pope Pizza I.

One of the key factors in eliminating programs in the agencies is the inclusion of DEI policies or efforts to study racial differentiation in services. Project 2025: Reverse the DEI Revolution in Labor Policy. Eliminate Racial Classifications and Critical Race Theory Trainings.

The FF continues to try to distract newspeeps with stuff like Alcatraz and threats to dictate to CEO's, but I would like newspeeps to pick a story and stay with it: corruption, due process, constitutional crisis. Or pick an agency: how is it functioning now that DOGE has torn through it?

Welp, I think they've got this one up and running. Project 2025: "Where warranted and proper under federal law, initiate legal action against local officials—including District Attorneys—who deny American citizens the “equal protection of the laws”

Project 2025: "Revoke National Park Service & U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service rules regarding predator control & bear baiting, which are matters for state regulation." OR fire NPS and USFWS employees altogether. Can't wait for bear baiting shows once so popular in the Middle Ages.

It's like our kind old father had to be sent to the nursing home, leaving us with an abusive legal guardian, determined to demolish the beloved family home and make off with our lives, our fortune and our sacred honor.

I rather imagine that DOGE has been working on this. God forbid we practice any diversity, equity, or inclusiveness in our communities! "

HAPPY MAY DAY! Workers of the World and Lazy Old Ladies Unite! Bring a basket of flowers

Project 2025 goal: "End intramural research projects using tissue from aborted children within the NIH, which should end its human embryonic stem cell registry." Under the FF, there have been hundreds of NIH Research Project ended regardless of what tissue is or is not used.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but EVERY FUCKING RETAILER needs to show the tariffs next to the price -- not just Amazon. Walmart, Target, ALL OF THEM. It's a fucking tax, why shouldn't we see it? I want to know exactly how much trump's tariffs are jacking my prices up. DON'T YOU?

Recently I've had a new concept of god, based on the old concept that God is Love. But being in it for the metaphor, as I am, suddenly thought what if it's the other way around.

The FF's Project 2025: Remove the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP) for any source category that is not currently being regulated." To Do: Restore GHGRP for all source categories.

"After you." "No, after you." "No, really, you go first." What is this? A Canadian standoff?

What the FF is carrying out from Project 2025: "Eliminate political and climate-change interference in DOE approvals of liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports." Things to do when sanity returns: require climate change concerns in LNG, etc.

Project 2025:"Prohibit accreditation agencies from leveraging their Title IV gatekeeper role to mandate that educational institutions adopt diversity, equity, and inclusion policies." Me: Programs which embrace those policies are even now being wiped from the map in all agencies.

2025 Project recommendations: "Remove the U.S. from any association with U.N. and other efforts to push sustainable-development schemes connected to food production." New to-do list: Restore efforts for sustainable development in food production.

I need more racoon pictures.

Has nobody told the FF that he's trying to Make America Great Again by taking away all of the stuff that made America Great-ish in the first place?

Happy Earth Day! We should be out protesting the decimating of the Environmental Protection agency. And may I suggest that people deciding to run in the Midterms, at whatever level, make their campaign stops into rallys. They should all Rage Against the Machine!

Very sorry to learn that we have lost another force for good in the world. Vale, Pope Francis. May you find the afterlife you believed in.

I think the best way to get rid of the FF is impeachment and a finding of guilty by the Senate. Which is only possible with a Democratic majority in the House and 60 in the Senate. Ignoring court rulings and the due process clauses of two amendments make him unfit to serve.

Happy Easter!

It is claimed in many places that I've read that "illegal aliens" commit fewer crimes than do actual American citizens. I believe that is true. If you fear deportation, you will live as exemplary a life as possible under the circumstances, not wanting to attract the attention of authorities.

I cannot think of a single reason why Mr. Garcia could not simply return to the US with Senator Van Hollen for trial, so that due process could be tried against him if the FF demands it.
