MO just gerrymandered the state w/ 7/8 Rep districts as opposed to 6/8 previously
Aprox.40% of state vote Dem
Gov Kehoe claimed it was to be "more representative" of MO constituents
How does going from 75% to 87.5%Rep make it more representative of the 60R/40D people?
REPUBLICAN MATH 4 sure!!!

Remember: Jane Austen's 250th B-day is coming up in December!!!
We should all celebrate by spending the entire month reacquainting ourselves w/ our most beloved stories of hers, or discover new ones she wrote that we have yet to read.
In other words, let's make it a JANE Austen month!!!

Don't forget this year is the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen's birth.
Have your local bookstore/library honor this historic day in December.
Plenty of time to plan a celebration if they start now.

For all you bibliophiles:
Recently read Robert Jackson Bennet's The Tainted Cup and A Drop of Corruption...would strongly suggest these two if you like "whodunnits". The characters are GREAT!!! Looking forward to the next one in the series.

So Musk & Trump have broken up...Boo-hoo!
2 Self-absorbed narcistic power-hungry a-holes had a falling out that none of us should be surprised occurred.
Question is: Why do we care?
They can BOTH disappear and our couontry would be better for it.
LOSERS both of them!

The Department of Homeland Security is NOT making our country safer.

They're ignoring immigration laws.

They're handcuffing moms, zip tying children and disappearing them without hearings or due process.

They're weaponizing DHS to purge people from the population.

They're hiding their faces.⬇️

Trump’s mental instability—routinely manifested in paranoid rhetoric and unhinged policy decisions—is a global economic and security threat.

Mainstream media is burying it in coverage of a former president who governed normally.

Their negligence will cost us.

Challenges fail

Assault weapons and high-capacity magazines banned in some states

Supreme Court refuses to hear challenges

Keep military weapons away from citizens

Only the military needs them
Trump suffered a huge loss yesterday. The Supreme Court refused to hear challenges to Maryland’s assault weapons ban, as well as Rhode Island’s high-capacity magazine ban. Good.

If you want to use weapons of war, then go join the military.

This morning I’m fighting back against Donald Trump’s executive order that targeted me. And I’m calling on government watchdogs to investigate the Trump Administration — because “revenge orders” have no place in America.

EVERY state in the nation is suffering under the Trump regime.

PLEASE, before you condemn entire states to death with “y’all voted for this,” know that there are MILLIONS of Democrats in red gerrymandered states who work their asses off.

(Psst, 90M+ *NATIONWIDE* didn’t bother to vote period.)

Why are we taxpayers paying for a military parade costing millions to assuage the ego of a narcistic self-centered cry-baby draft-dodging coward? If I were in the military & assigned to that parade, I would call in sick that day.
Let that pompous ass pay for his own parade.
Use r tax better.

Just completed Victoria Aveyard's Realm Breaker series.
WOW!!!
I would recommend this series. The world building was superb, and the story was engaging.
Have to be impressed with her tenacity to create such a story well over 1600 pages and keeping it interesting.
I congratulate her!

So glad Trump is more concerned w/ important things like renaming things, taking over the Kennedy Center, rounding up and deporting hard working (noncriminal) people w/ jobs, gutting our federal offices and picking fights w/ other countries instead of doing what he promised and lowering inflation.

So our Congress showed jsut how spineless they are and am going to totally give T-Rump total power. His cabinet picks are the very worst and they realize it. Just too cowardly to stand up to him.
So glad they take an oath of office. Means so much!
Need emergency elections and replace them NOW!!!

4-U Booklovers:
Read three of Laura Weymouth's books:
A Light Between Worlds
A Treason of Thorns
The Voice Upstairs
I would only suggest reading the last one, the other two were not good. In A Treason of Thorns, the main character was obsessed w/ her magical house...REALLY?!? Bad writing!
February 14, 2025 at 6:22 PM
Okay, we have a lunatic as POTUS and a Congress that is nothing more than puppet sycophants who kneel before him allowing him to usurp their power.
Don't whine & cry about it. Do something to stop the madness. Take action! Demand your Congressional reps to listen. Get friends/family involved
