I have lived many places; broad charitable views are not learned by living in one’s small corner of the world.
May my life end filled w/ moments when I lived up to/deserved my dogs’ adoration.

‘Why do men feel threatened by women?’ I asked a male friend of mine. . . . ‘They’re afraid women will laugh at them,’ he said. ‘Undercut their world view.’
Then I asked women students, ‘Why do women feel threatened by men?’ “They’re afraid of being killed,’ they said.

I’m concerned. In the last 24 hours Zohran Mamdani has now twice sworn oaths to uphold the U.S. constitution, the NY state constitution, and the NYC charter.
And not once did he say he’s going to enforce Sharia Law.
Our secret Islamic takeover of NYC is off to a terrible start.

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later
Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

Public service is not supposed to come with a luxury SUV package.
Yet Kash Patel wants a taxpayer-funded fleet of armored BMW SUVs. Americans are being asked to tighten their belts, but apparently not Kash Patel.
Taxpayers deserve answers.

Russia just bombed the main highway leading into Kharkiv - heavy traffic with families returning home after Christmas - cars are burning with people in them.
