Finished this tonight. A somewhat lesser known work, while it did not, in my opinion quite reach the level of my favorite Faulkner (Absalom! Absalom!) is still a great read and a very creative story (two separate stories, actually).
May read Henry Miller next. Have never read him. Any fans of his?

They claim dudes think about the Roman Empire, which is true, but I also think about the American fleet crossing the Japanese “I” at Leyte Gulf several times a year.

Not much better than the smell of wood smoke on the first cold night of the year. Thanks to Hurricane Helene I’ve got plenty of firewood spilt and stacked!

Just blocked two followers who made posts that could reasonably be interpreted as supporting shooting ICE agents.
Please, if you feel that way don’t follow me. Have the decency to block me first.

In my view our immigration laws are seriously jacked up and in need of being rewritten. But I guess for our politicians it's easier to behave in such a really barbaric way towards people who want nothing more than an opportunity to live a better life rather than just rewrite our immigration laws.

The human cost of Trumpism. Listen to this kid.
Let’s assume, as is implied, that his parents came illegally but he was born here and is a citizen.
Assume they committed a crime by illegally crossing a border.
I ask: does this punishment fit the crime? Can anyone with a heart say it does??

What can you say? This is a good comment.
Greene: "I will praise Nancy Pelosi. She had an incredible career for her party. I served under her speakership in my first term in Congress and I'm very impressed at her ability to get things done. I wish we could get things done for our party like Nancy Pelosi was able to deliver for her party."

I strongly recommend never throwing anything at a law enforcement officer.
But I also think, in the overall context of everything that has taken place, this is a just verdict. I don’t take the issue lightly. Right now the government is acting in an overbearing and oppressive manner.

Any hunters out there? My son and his lifelong best friend had the hunt of a lifetime today. They bagged a 9 point and 10 point buck moments apart.

"Mandami is a communist!"
I doubt Mandami is a communist. NYC, Wall Street, Manhattan is perhaps the center of capitalism and free markets in the world and that's not changing.
Reality is that Mandami will do some things that are left wing, some may work, some won't but NYC is not turning commie.

Last night was exciting for all of us who oppose Trumpism but only a beginning. My boxing analogy is that last night was a series of body blows that have stunned the other guy. 2026 could be the straight jab that puts him on the ropes. And 2028 could be the knockout punch. It’s time to get to work!
