happy bday writer Louisa May Alcott, b.1832, Germantown, PA.
"I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning how to sail my ship."
“I like good strong words that mean something…”
“I ask not for any crown
But that which all may win;
Nor try to conquer any world
Except the one within.”

How low we have sunk as a country. The US Department of Defense is now run by a rabid war criminal.
Ordering the execution of helpless survivors of an attack is ALWAYS a war crime, whether they civilian or military.
Pure, mindless, barbarism.

Markwayne Mullin on healthcare: "What the president would like to do is say, hey, if you take care of yourself -- you don't smoke, you don't dip, you're not drinking, you're not overweight, you're working out -- then you should pay less than the guy that obviously is not taking care of himself."
