I hate when I go to bed early on a Saturday night and wake up Sunday morning only to discover we’ve gone to war in the Middle East without the consent of Congress. 😡

Congress didn’t just lose its power it gave it away. On war, trade, and policy, lawmakers have willingly let the executive branch rule unchecked.

They pretend that the USA was founded as a Christian nation. Then they pretend and insist they’re Christians. Then they govern like the motherfucking antichrist.

Two friends sent me Onyx Storm and a bookmark instead of flowers when my Dad passed- they called it literary therapy. I think I’m going to start doing the same thing when my friends or family are going through a hard time. Books and reading are self-care.

I never got to say goodbye to my Dad. He passed away 30 minutes before I got to the hospital. COVID-19 induced encephalopathy. Please get vaccinated. Please wear masks or just stay at home if you don’t feel well.

Today I’m going to the hospital to say goodbye to my Dad. I wish there was a way to convince people to wear masks around the elderly and immunocompromised. They aren’t “owning the libs” or proving their undying support for Supreme Leader. They’re sentencing people to death.

I haven’t lived through the collapse of a civilisation before I study history so I have read the guidebooks, but they don’t quite capture the experience of being there

So… are the lower grocery prices coming after 47 deports the people responsible for keeping Americans fed?

You know what would have been cool? Normalizing mask wearing so my 83 year old dad didn’t lay on a gurney in the ER hallway with stroke symptoms, heart issues, and COVID. My parents wear masks religiously- there were several people diagnosed with COVID there who still refused to wear a mask.

Watching British Bake-off. Exceedingly happy that the British also find Spotted Dick funny.

Your company is not your “family.” They can and will fire you without a second thought. Safeguard your time and well-being. Spending time with coworkers you don’t like outside of work hours is unpaid overtime.

We took soon-to-be promoted big brother puppy to meet prospective little sister puppy at the local animal shelter last night. She bopped him on the nose at least 3 times, so I think she has the “little sis” thing down pat. T-minus 8 hours and we’ll be a family of 4….

Rest in peace to Submariner LT James Earl Carter Jr, USN (Ret). Carter, the only U.S. President to graduate from the U.S. Naval Academy, leaves a legacy of service. The USS Jimmy Carter (SSN-23), a Seawolf-class fast-attack submarine, carries his name in honor of his dedication to our nation.

I had no dream of the number of undergrad students who would blatantly plagiarize, then get mad at me for penalizing them. They seemed to believe they paid for a degree, not for the opportunity to earn one.

The first sentence is accurate. The rest is drivel. 2 out of 10 stars.

Anyone who thinks the United States doesn’t negotiate with terrorists conveniently overlooks 1/7/21. History began to be rewritten that day. Spines never straightened. Lessons were ignored. The toadies who genuflect today never got off their knees.

So… is there an “all you can poke” vaccine buffet to protect people who believe in science from all of the illnesses the worm-brained Kennedy’s vaccine bans will reintroduce? Asking for a friend.

“Kiss the ring” and “bend the knee” aren’t normal behavior, much less normal behavior in a democracy. Normalizing these phrases is normalizing the behavior.
