My house companion of 10 years, Little Black Kitty, died last weekend at age 10 or 11. She never talked about her age. She was too young to die.Value your four-legged friends. They sure make life better.
I’m urging Gov. Lee to apply for Summer EBT before Thursday’s deadline—funding to help feed nearly 700,000 kids in TN while school is out. Last year, the state turned down this funding and ran an alternative that reached only a handful of rural counties—no one in Shelby or Tipton County was served.

Russia Pummels Kyiv Before Trump-Zelensky Meeting www.nytimes.com/2025/12/27/w...
I am a big admirer of President Zelensky and I believe he has no choice but to negotiate with Trump, but he might as well be talking to the old KGB. Trump is as much in bed with Putin as Putin was with the KGB.

I’ll listen to part of the deposition. The American people deserve to listen to it as well. Jack Smith is an American hero who has stood up for American values all his life.

Worst KENNEDY CENTER HONORS ratings.Not a surprise as the host is considered a misfit, a felon,a narcissist,a grifter (and that was before he started his theft of the Kennedy legacy)and cultural nerd.The honorees were chosen because 47 liked them,not a large field.

I voted for the Epstein Files Transparency Act, and it became law 30 days ago.
What this Administration has produced so far is wildly incomplete. They are slow-walking disclosure and shielding key facts about Epstein’s operation.
The law is not optional, and defying it will have consequences.

Trump‘s named Kennedy Center board voted today to rename the Kennedy Center, “Trump Kennedy Center.”This is a sacrilege to the memory of a martyred and heroic assassinated president of the United States. The center was named in his honor and should stay that way.

Renaming the Kennedy Center for Trump would be a sacrilege.
JFK was a martyred, historic US president whose name is synonymous with artistic excellence in America. The idea that Trump would put his name BEFORE Kennedy’s—or even alongside it—is obscene. The Kennedy Center should never be renamed.

AI data centers and cryptomining are driving up energy demand nationwide. I introduced the Clean Cloud Act to protect consumers and ensure that growth is backed by clean power—not higher household utility bills.

A husband and wife were killed, their family is grieving. That should be the end of it.
Using someone’s death as an opportunity for mockery & political scoring is grotesque and falls far short of basic standards we should expect from anyone in a position of leadership. The message is the messenger.
