Two things people have done since the beginning of human time, procreate & immigrate. Instead of wasting resources, time and human dignity trying to stop it, why not find a way to make it work to everyone's benefit. The answer is out there. Find it!

Watching Ken Burns' Revolution, you see many hints of why our country isn't functioning now. But what did work then & is starting again is many citizens are participating in the discourse of our government. We are learning again our responsibility in a self-governance quest. We've hard work yet.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

How low we have sunk as a country. The US Department of Defense is now run by a rabid war criminal.
Ordering the execution of helpless survivors of an attack is ALWAYS a war crime, whether they civilian or military.
Pure, mindless, barbarism.

Why isn't more being said about rump's Ukraine Peace Plan? Just tried to read it, stopped 1/2 way bc it was making me ill. It knee caps Ukraine, opens a path for Putin to do the same to neighboring countries, and who believes rump will keep his word on helping Ukraine rebuild? This stinks!!!

Does anybody read history any more, or even remember what they study in high school? History is full of countries where the people got so fed up, they sought change & didn't care about the risk to themselves. If I were a leader of a country, I'd be damn careful how I ruled.

So, a GOP led committee has investigated Biden's use of an auto pen and found it to be "illegitimate", but won't do or say a thing about blowing up people in international waters without any evidence or due process. Absolute obscene insanity! Wait, am I still breathing??

The biggest rollercoaster ride for the American people right now is the courts. We never know where they stand! It's maddening and it's ripping us further apart.

The president's brain is gone and it's not coming back. But, it's the arrogance and stupidity of the GOP that is allowing him to stay in power that is the most disturbing!! They are sick, hostile creatures bent on their own destruction, while destroying the rest of us.

An English woman and I stood in front of this painting at the Norman Rockwell Museum, talked about the state of the world and teared up. When we parted, we hugged each other and told each other to not lose heart. I felt so much better. We need more N. Rockwells in this world!😊
