It finally dawned on me. Most of the Republican members of Congress behave the same as abused women do. They do what is asked to avoid more abuse. They are afraid to show any initiative for fear of being primaried ... the political equivalent of being killed. It has become so clear!

If Trump wishes to resettle the Palestinians, they might agree if they could live in the USA. It's a perfect solution 'cause Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon have never wanted them to settle in their countries.

Trump fires the head of the TSA anc Coast Guard, disbanded the Aviation Security Advisory Committee, fired 100 top FAA security officers and froze hiring of all air traffic controllers and then we have 2 deadly airplane accidents. Coincidence? I think not.

Our educational system is the largest lab for failed experiments ever. Because of this, we have election outcomes like the last one. Oh, to be able to transplant critical thinking skills.

I'm patiently waiting (it will take time) until tariffs are put into place and all the undocumented farm workers and service people are gone. With any luck, all the women will retire from the armed forces as well. THEN we will see what the administration's policies really mean to the country.

Today is the anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision 50+ years ago. As a person who suffered an incomplete miscarriage before Roe, I feel damned lucky that my docs took care of me. If there were a way to put a black border on this post, I would.

New from me: Trump is a lame duck, an old, tired, easily manipulated one, whose vanity is a useful tool. Foreign leaders like Claudia Sheinbaum are right to mock him, and American elites should uncurl from the fetal position and get in on the fun.

I'm so tired of the blame game, the threat game, and the lies. I don't want to see any more memes about the President-elect. He's not worth my time. I will work to bring Democratic control to Congress. And if somebody has some hair or fingernails, I'll make a voodoo doll that works.
