Grump.
100 years ago, my 10-year-old grandfather traveled 300 mi. in a horse-drawn carriage from Russia to Poland for a passport, 1200 mi. to Belgium, and 3 weeks in the leaking hull of a steamer ship. He had no money, spoke no English, but the U.S. welcomed him. Hating immigrants is hating ourselves.

It occurs to me that “Quiet Piggy” is probably the best way to deal with Laura Loomer.

I dug this up from 2012.

Another no brainer. Sigh.

The government gilding everything in gold while taking food away from the hungry seems like a story we’ve seen play out before, doesn’t it?

This buck was across the street today. And I got within 10 feet of him. But only because my dogs escaped and I was running around in my jammies whistling for them. Which probably explains the buck’s “WTF is going on!?” look.

Cold Brew Experiment #1.

1/2 cup Lavazza Super Crema, ground for espresso.
3 cups water (6:1 ratio)
Brew at room temp for 5h

Rich coffee color.
Vague coffee aroma.
Zero flavor. Not just no coffee flavor. No flavor period. Blech.

No such luck today…

Finally saw The Life Of Chuck today. Thank you @stephenking.bsky.social and @markhamillofficial.bsky.social! I'm still processing whether to feel happy or sad, so you totally nailed it!

You can be a genius but emotionally immature. When an emotionally-mature person makes a mistake, they say “oops,” apologize, and fix it. An emotionally-immature person burns down everything and everyone rather than ever acknowledge they could have possibly made a mistake in the first place.

Sure feels like that “movement” Trump kept promising everyone would be a part of…was just his industrial-scale bowel movement all over everything and everyone.

“That rule is stupid so I don’t have to follow it.”

“I can do whatever I want, try and stop me.”

“It’s my way or else I’ll throw a tantrum.”

Funny how the entire Trump administration sounds just like my kids when they were six.

Nothing says “Make America Great Again” like taking $12,000,000,000 away from health care for 340,000,000 Americans to give Elon Musk another tax break.

Dear Republicans, if you’re still the party of law and order, then this is your Come To Jesus moment. Sec. Hegseth discussed classified information publicly (which includes in a non DOD-secure manner), in direct violation of 18 USC 793 & 798. Now
choose: did he break the law, or is he above it?

Mr. Trump says *everything* is broken (believe him) so I propose the “Republicans Are Burning It Down” act, to eliminate every entitlement, and shutter every agency/department except Defense. Let the military run everything that states don’t. We can even adopt TrumpCoin. It’s foolproof.

Are you a #Conservative or #Republican who boycotted #BudLite, #Nike, or #Target? Then I’d really like to understand why you think no one should boycott #Tesla?
March 20, 2025 at 12:52 PM
#Liberals and #Antifa are too busy being #woke about #empathy to vandalize anything. But seeing as #Tesla sales and stock have plummeted, they could sure use the insurance money from, say, paying off a bunch of #MAGA to stage a bunch of riots and attacks.
March 19, 2025 at 11:16 PM
If the people trespassing and vandalizing #Tesla dealerships wear #MAGA gear and chant “Hang Mike Pence!” will the #Trump administration defend them as innocent tourists?
