I love cooking; fermenting hot sauces; photography; writing; and my family. My grands call me Grumpy—I’m good with that.
Me to my wife: Would you please draw me a picture of a grumpy looking hot pepper with its arms crossed?
My wife: Hold
My beer.
My wife: Hold
My beer.

USAID is a criminal organization,” Mr. Musk wrote on Sunday in a social media post that many aid workers saw as confirmation the agency would soon be absorbed into the State Department and that some viewed as a potential threat to their personal safety. “Time for it to die.”
THIS HAS TO STOP.

While President Trump illegally pauses federal funding from Congress, the Senate must not be business as usual.

The Hegseth confirmation shows that Republican lawmakers have put party over country. They should be ashamed, but I doubt if they are.

Jesus: Feed the hungry. Clothe the poor. Heal the sick. Love your neighbor as yourself. It's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than a rich man to get into heaven. Judge not, least ye be judged. Blessed are the peacemakers.
