While walking the dog these last few rainy days I’ve carried a big stick to unclog any storm drains we find flooding. I’ve never felt more powerful. Big stick. Controlling the water. Protecting the neighborhood. Extremely cool.

This is now in the White House. As a Reagan biographer, I am aware of no evidence that RR was a “fan” of Trump. I am, however, aware of evidence that Trump was no fan of RR—in 1987 Trump took out an ad claiming the world was “laughing” at the US because other nations were “taking advantage” of us.

Cold weather makes me crave congee.
Salted duck egg, or some fermented tofu and a touch of veggies. Maybe a sprinkle of pork.

The tragedy of Rob and Michelle’s deaths are incomprehensible.
I’m hearing Rob’s voice telling us all to do more, to repair the human soul, to repair our hearts, to repair our country, to repair our world, to keep fighting, to keep living for every soul taken from this earth.

To honor Rob Reiner, I watched Princess Bride today. It's an endlessly quotable and ideally cast note-perfect concept that was perfectly executed. It is one of a kind, and I'll fight anyone who foolishly says otherwise.

One way that the reaction to Rob Reiner's murder mirrors Charlie Kirk's is that the best way to eulogize each of them is to quote their words, and in both cases, doing so pisses off conservatives.
Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

I don't want to live in a timeline where Dick Van Dyke and Mel Brooks bury the son of their best friend.
Two people were found dead Sunday at the home of Rob Reiner in the Brentwood area of Los Angeles. A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Fire Department confirmed to THR that firefighters responded at 3:38 p.m. to a call for medical aid at the home. The bodies have not been publicly identified.

Church Du Soleil is pretty crazy.
Think this is a Vegas show? No. It's Prestonwood Mega church of TX with their Christmas worship performance. Remember when churches used their money to help the community? This show isn't even free. Tickets are $20-$70 for the show. $25 for dinner and a fee for parking. Why are churches not taxed?

As Trump's power wanes, he will become more dangerous. Even though he's losing his political power, he will retain the powers of the presidency.
