There is no art in Trump, much less in any of his "deals." Born rich, he learned to abuse his financial advantage to bully others, lying and cheating his way through life, and believing that made him smart. Now he is trying to abuse our country's financial advantage to bully the world.

WTF?

This is why you don't elect IDIOTS to be President. Even worse, an idiot that doesn't know what he doesn't know, but thinks he is a stable genius. Idiot.

This bird attacked my side mirror several times when I got to my office this morning. Then he gave me a "You want some of me?" look. I did not.

See, it's funny cuz it's true. 🤣 (also: #sad) 😞

I am ashamed of our country, and for our country.

Freedoms are hard won, and easily lost. Unless we all have our rights and freedoms, none of us do. Constitutionally-founded freedoms are, shockingly, under attack by our own current president and his minions. Keeping our rights and freedoms is essential to our nation's survival.

I just told my wife that she is not the woman of my dreams--she is the woman of the dreams I could not have dreamed of. I am a lucky man.

Not your everyday open mic: bass clarinet, trumpet, electric guitar, and plucked fiddle playing jazz.

He who rambles on about Hannibal Lecter, Arnold Palmer’s dick size, windmill cancer, and turning Gaza into a real-estate play, and thinks he’s saving the county, should have his head examined.

It is a cold, rainy, lazy morning for the three of us.

@classm.bsky.social brought this excellent yet terrible opinion article to my attention. "However it may play out, the refusal to obey a Supreme Court ruling — from which there is no appeal — would be the moment that America’s constitutional order completely fails." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/o...

I did not get Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show, and it was another in a long series of events that show me how narrow my cultural range actually is. I was not offended by it, or feel attacked, nor was I dismissive of it. I just didn't get it. And I wish I had.

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen. Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !” globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

Clemson beat #2 Duke! #mbb #mcbb #collegebasketball

I get that Duke is #2, and is Duke, and Clemson's not, but ESPN's Dick Vitale's constant wondrous praise of Duke is sickening. At least for a Clemson fan. #mbb #mcbb #collegebasketball

Senior U.S. District Judge John Coughenour: “It has become ever more apparent that, to our president the rule of law is but an impediment to his policy goals, the rule of law is, according to him, something to navigate around or simply ignore, whether that be for political or personal gain."

I may have the order wrong: 51st- Canada 52nd- Panama 53rd- Greenland 54th- Mexico 55th- Gaza Screw you, Puerto Rico, you gotta pay your dues. #madness

Here's where the players on the 4 teams in the AFC & NFC Championships played before the NFL. (Includes IR & Practice Squads)
