Mama Bear, Cubs fan, tree hugger, animal rescuer. I like to see the humor in things, but I will speak truth, even if my voice shakes. #voteblue. Iowa native and lifelong resident.
My senators, Chuck Grassley and Joni Ernst, continue to kiss the Orange Blob's ass. I write to them and get bullshit answers regarding topics I never asked about.

Since they refuse to give me an answer and remain loyal to Blob, I can come to only 1 conclusion:

They are in the Epstein files.

I'm guessing the Norwegian Nobel Committee is going to want the prize and the cash award back, as the Nobel Institute firmly states that prizes cannot be legally transferred or shared.

So The Blob orders military strikes on Venezuela. Yet during the presser, HE IS FALLING ASLEEP STANDING UP.

Dear World:
I didn't nor would I ever vote for him or his supporters.

I fear this is the first of many takeovers if our Congress remains silent.

Just know the people are tired of him and it is our duty to let our senators and representatives know we are tired of them as well.

Merry Christmas to my BlueSky fam! Lots of excitement here in eastern Iowa!

Last night we stayed up late watching the Christmas classic, Die Hard.

Yes, it is a Christmas movie.

WTF is CBS doing to 60 Minutes? First Colbert, then this.

It has to stop.

OMG. Rob Reiner is dead.

He was an early influence on me. We watched All in the Family. I was pretty young and I didn't like Archie. The sock and a shoe episode influenced how I put on my socks and shoes. I liked Mike. I still do it that way. Sock and a shoe.

I'm not going back to Disney+ no matter what they do or say.

I've been love bombed before. I'm not falling for it again.

OK so, there is a picture of the Father of our Country, and then there is the mug shot of the felon.

So much snow. We've had over 14" in the Midwest so far.

I have a master's degree in social work, and I work as a clinic therapist.

Just wondering if I am still considered a professional.

I'm not sure why the baseball gods think Kyle Tucker is all that and a bag of chips. The guy played fine for the Cubs, but he always looked like it was such a chore to actually show up for a game.

This guy would be a much better signee. And way more exciting.

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?
