Just watched Rep. Adelita Grijalva get sworn in, come to a podium, skewer Mikie Mike Johnson, and state that she will sign the discharge petition to release the Epstein file.

I feel like I can breathe again.

My dad, who passed in 2020, was in the Army in the 50s, then in the reserve during the Cuban Missile Crisis. He was sent to Camp Dodge in Des Moines when things heated up, waiting for orders. Mom was at home in Cedar Rapids with my big sister and our dog. I hadn't come along yet. Scary stuff.

I watched "The Hunt for Red October" last night. Such a well-done movie.

My rescue dog Chester, the one with me in my profile photo, developed diabetes a few years ago and then became blind.

Chester gets two injections per day of insulin. His insulin under President Biden was around $30 per vile.

His insulin under the Orange Blob is over $90.

Are we winning yet?

This is my most vivid memory of Cheney - throwing a fit about leaving the White House and being wheeled out.

Laughed my ass off.

I love it when the benches clear in baseball. Two guys are mad, and the rest just stand around.

Except for this time. Still the best.

He's removing anything that's named after other presidents or is historic in any way from the grounds of the People's House.

He's already destroyed the rose garden and the East Wing.

He will not stop there.

Anything to deflect from the Epstein files.

So Meta is supporting the Orange Blob and his demolition of the East Wing.

It sure would be too bad if people left Facebook, much like they left Disney+.

We can do this.

Three times the people showed up in Vinton, Iowa than showed up in June. Vinton has a population of about 5,000 and is in ruby red Benton County. We were all joyful, and we had a frog! A Trumper sat on a bench out of the way, wearing his bullet proof vest. Didn't say a word. Looked disappointed.
