Disgusted, angry, sad, and scared that elected and non-elected people connected to the White House are selling the U.S. to the orange guy's owner. Then there are the elected lemmings in Congress that keep applauding all this crap. The spillover into parts of all states shows too many more lemmings.

Even thought I didn't vote for the "man" who is now sometimes at the White House, I wonder more and more why others did. I didn't know other U.S. citizens in various political offices could go this low and continue getting lower. Evil, despicable, stupid, mean, uncaring, egotistical, dictatorial,

I need to start a list of politicians who are failing me, my family, my friends, my state, my country, and my world. Then for future elections I will have a ready-made list of who NOT to donate to or vote for. Dang, it's going to be a long list.

A U.S. citizen born here & always proud of my country, I know we need to do our part to keep our country safe, legal, caring, & more. I know we elected our politicians to Congress to work for us. Some speak up but most publicly ignore what is coming from the despicable administration & cohorts.

I've been researching about my own family tree and that of clients for a long time. I'm thankful to have this to occupy my time during the 2024 election months and now with the awfulness of the current White House. It's been a mental health healer on many days. I bet many others find it helps.

I now fear that the uncaring, asinine, and deadly actions of the administration will result in deaths of some people, including some in my extended family. Can the orange one be charged with murder in such deaths?

Saw a family in a restaurant today. Two adorable little ones. Mainly Spanish speaking adults. I wanted to hug them and tell them I want them to be safe here in Minnesota.

Below zero temp and way below zero wind chill. Took the college student shopping today so she could get all the life necessities before she is back in class on Tuesday. She treated me to lunch, too. Target in Roseville was more crowded than Christmas shopping time We are tough Minnesotans!

Watching the replay of President Carter's funeral on C-SPAN. Moving, tear producing, reminders of a good, caring, real Christian family man, and leader of this country on so many important issues. Reminders of how far from that the President-elect continues to be.

Way back in high school when my Mom insisted I take typing class and also 4 years of Latin, I was not happy. As a professional genealogist, I look upward and thank her for both. #genealogy p.s. As an adult, I found out the Latin teacher, Mrs. Kurtz, was an old school friend of my Mom's!

Today I drove by a mall, Target, two grocery stores, several restaurants, and other places. Holy moly! Packed parking lots even in the single digit weather. We Minnesotans don't let the weather stop us any day.

1:30 a.m. is for chasing new leads after reviewing genealogical research files from long ago. Really long ago. Found a few pictures I knew I had and a few items to check next time I go to the Minnesota Historical Society. #genealogy.

@myheritageofficial.bsky.social email notice of a match involving a long-ago search and thus clues to a missing newspaper article!! FamilySearch full-text search produced 2 proofs on a different research problem. All exciting. Well, other than that neither are my own family. Still satisfying! 🙂

Keep trying to tell myself all these "presidential" nominations and appointments are part of my ongoing nighttime nightmares. Then it's daylight and they are reality. As my toddlers used to say many years ago, Yucky.

#genealogy for a big win. Found a document perfect as an example of why we research beyond our ancestral line and collateral relatives in all generations. New one is now in an upcoming presentation to show those who marry into the family and those who are neighbors also matter and offer clues.
