I am of the firm belief that we can beat Trump honestly. However, I am a bit concerned about some false information I have seen circulating recently. There were, in fact, fewer airplane crashed in Jan 2025 than there were in Jan 2024. Sharing this stuff just makes us look foolish

I may to too verbose for this platform - keeping the number of words low is challenging.

Who are the real elite in America? It seems that we mean white, rich people - but how would our thinking change if we thought about anyone with a college education as elite. From this perspective - didn't the democrats loose the last election because they were speaking only to the elite?

Folks - we need to keep our eye on the ball. Even as we speak there are a bunch of 20-something bros and their noxious leader messing with everything in our government. This will impact every single person on the planet. Don't get distracted.

There are two kinds of people in the world....those who are willing to see the brokenness in the world and those who just want everything to be "great" again. The reality is that nothing was ever really "great." The stuff that was broken was just hidden and not talked about.

"Congress authorizes USAID's programs in the Foreign Assistance Act, which Congress supplements through directions in annual funding appropriation acts" The job of the executive branch is to carry out the directives of the legislative branch - not to say, "Nah, they didn't really mean it."

Here is a picture of John Quincey Adams - maybe it will distract us from the chaos.

Living in American at this time feels a little like being half of a set of conjoined twins - the other half of which is trying to commit suicide.

Trying to have a positive attitude is difficult right about now.

Trump wants to distract you from the fact that he gutted the Aviation Safety Committee and ousted the FAA administrator last week. Don’t let him.

So, I have been in a wait and see posture since the election. However, we have now reached the point where, if you are not angry - you are not paying attention.

Attention Republicans - RFK Jr is your problem now. You can't give him back.

How is it that when Michelle Obama wanted school lunches to be healthy - MAGA was so against it that they repealed the rules as soon as Trump was sworn in the second time.....and now we get to listen to RFK Jr and the senators talk about what a tragedy it is that our kids don't eat healthy enough?

According to Jesus, we should love our neighbors as ourselves. I try to so this, but, man, some of them make it really hard.

Feeling sad and drained today - the stupidity and maliciousness of the actions of the current resident of the White House make me weep for our country. How did we get here?

: "Okay, campers, rise and shine, and don't forget your booties 'cause it's cooooold out there today."

So, does this mean that hell really has frozen over and we are all living in it? www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...

The idea that companies (or countries) have free speech rights seems really silly to me.

Long conversation with the kiddos about the tik tok ban - seems they are more concerned about the meta and x lobbies than they are about the Chinese Government.

If you only express and hold a belief when it is popular and brings you acclaim and riches - did you ever really believe it?

We humans have a tendency to want to say something soothing to other in distress. However, most of what we say is worse that useless, because it is platitudes that convey no real meaning and are sometime hurtful. (Thoughts and Prayers is an example). It seems that sometimes saying nothing is better.
