Arts manager, gardener, cook. Life makes me curious. Often happy.
Hard questions, hand wringing, pearl clutching and no action because no balls.

Far too many people pretend Rover is some sort of service dog and they get dragged into grocery stores and sit in the cart. Not cool.

I worked with Joan Mondale's initiative for American craftspeople to create decorations for the Christmas tree at the residence of the vice president.

Rosalyn Carter decorated the White House Christmas tree with handmade crafts.

Those were good times.

I believe volunteers have always been used to decorate the WH for Christmas.

Jill Biden used volunteers to decorate. It is a huge, labor-intensive project. Volunteer performers as well. (don't shoot me.)

What variety of orange was it? Or was it a tangelo or tangerine?

Oklahoma did not start offering Real ID until June of 2020. The state's poor planning & implementation + Covid resulted in too many complications for many Oklahomans who just kinda ignored it. OK still offers the old style license. Many opted for that instead. And could do it online.

Trump expected unrest. He created the conditions to spark protest. Because he's interested in declaring martial law.

It'll make the rest of his plan so much easier to implement.

Project Runway Allstars - tough challenges, not much drama.

Culinary Class Wars - A Korean cooking competition that pits 100 chefs against each other. Wild. A peek into a whole different culture and dishes you've never heard of. We found it riveting.

Glow Up UK - Make up artists competition.

Why? Utah voted for the government they wanted and if they get it good and hard, so what?

Democrats have pulled the chestnuts out of the fire for decades and Republicans still hate us.

Let them sleep in the bed they made.

I think MAGA believed deep cuts would occur in the "big DC deep state bureaucracy full of faceless slaggards and liberals and drag queens", and DOGE would reward all the good civil servants in Red states.

I think they're truly shocked.

Same sentiment in Oklahoma.

Jesus Christ himself could come down to Utah to assist, but if He said he was a Democrat, the town would still vote Republican after He fixed things for them.

Intractable.

Why would Democrats step into that?

Futile.

Oklahoma's Tom Cole got DOGE to back off on 3 closings.

But he's Chair of the House Appropriations Committee.

And he's still 100% behind DOGE.

Christians want dominance over all human beings. Christians want the Bible to be THE governing document over all other documents. Christians want to force all people to live by Christian rules, belief immaterial. Thwarting Christians in their persuit of world dominance is persecution in their mind.
