You can rule or supervise with fear and intimidation. However, it doesn’t instill loyalty or respect.
It’s time to report in.

Well shit! A friend tells me Billie didn’t do anything on stage that might have driven the blood pressure of a trump humper into the stratosphere. Dammit! Come on Billie. You could do better.

Hey, all you folks POed about Bill Belichick not making NFL HOF on first vote should just take a look at the people that get to vote on it and remember how he treated them in press conferences. They are just exacting their pound of flesh. That's all.

Has the staffer that shared the racist video been fired or are they still President of the USA?

Sorry to all the Patriots fans out there. They have had more than their fair share of victories and they have a DJT hugging donor that owns them. While I am sure that Seattle’s owner is wealthy and probably somehow got money to DJT, it isn’t quite as obvious. So, I’m pulling for Seattle.

A very local PSA. There is a pothole in the drive in St. Vincent Circle that extends down to the core of the earth. Beware if you’re coming off of University and heading to the entrance or parking lot.

The only ICE at the Winter Olympics should be in drinks and on rinks.
February 6, 2026 at 7:18 PM
Those ICE guys that are in Spain “guarding” US athletes do realize they are the furners (SIC) now, right?
February 6, 2026 at 7:17 PM
Has ICE arrested and deported anybody at the Winter Olympics yet? Asking for a concerned citizen.

That horribly racist post by DJT of the Obamas seems to suggest that DJT might believe in evolution. Do all you Trump-supporting evangelical folks really support someone that believes in Darwinian theory? Just asking?

Yesterday was heart wrenching. Watched my 85 yo FIL take his wife of 64 years off of life sustaining equipment. Memories of making similar decisions regarding my mom nearly 39 years ago came rushing back. My wife and her dad need any thoughts you all could push their way.
