The reason they don’t want to show their faces is that they are engaged in illegal and amoral acts

Sitting by the ocean, then attending grandson’s graduation. Gratitude!

Major media are afraid to tell us that Trump is in the process of setting up a dictatorship. They know it — everyone closely following the news knows it — but they fear that telling such a stark truth would seem “partisan” and make them a target. Their failure to sound the alarm endangers us all.

👇On the Supreme Court taking up separation of church and who is behind it -- same legal teams behind Dobbs, and Amy Coney Barrett's close family friend.
Pay attention to Oklahoma.

Bibles in classrooms isn't the big story.

The same legal teams behind the seeding of Dobbs are driving a case to create religious schools fully funded by the public & they've already petitioned the Supreme Court.

Understandably, everyone was focused on the election.

Whatever your opinion about the Hunter Biden pardon, if it gets more attention than the Kash Patel nomination, it is one more instance of a failure to distinguish between fundamental and trivial threats to the rule of law.

Teaching a large group of enthusiastic bakers at Congregation Keneseth Israel how to make potato knishes, and sharing my book: WISHES AND KNISHES. Maybe you’ll enjoy some at your Thanksgiving dinner!

Had a chance to read my book Wishes and Knishes about a girl who was too busy to learn her favorite family food recipe. Thank you Upper Dublin Library for including me in your local author event!
