OUR SOCIETY IS RUN BY INSANE PEOPLE FOR INSANE OBJECTIVES
I think they're all insane, you know, but I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that, you know? That's what's insane about it. I mean, don't you agree? #powertothepeople

Happy Winter! 10:03am ET today marked the Winter Solstice, the day of the year when the Earth's northern hemisphere is tilted furthest away from the Sun – making today the shortest of the year for those of us north of the equator.
Will wintry temperatures be in your area? 😬

Since his appointment, RFK Jr. has pursued a brutal vision of American health that several experts liken to a sort of eugenics. Kennedy has made it clear that certain deaths are acceptable or even preferable to a world where every child is vaccinated.

The Beatles Store made it right, but note you won't be buying a complete pillow, just a zippered cover. No doubt they'll change the info on their site.
Readers might not be interested in Fan Club items, but that's my #Beatles 🍏 jam having been heavily involved.
Merry Happy....

There’s a cancer in the White House and it has spread throughout the SCOTUS and all branches of government.
Journalists report on it hourly to no effect.
The world looks on in shock and some with enjoyment.
Those he attacks express their anger but to no avail.
Yes, the USA is very sick.
