The ear piercing volume of sound during movies in theaters makes me wonder how many of the youth who frequent theaters today will have major hearing loss by age 30? Thank goodness for my AirPods. Wearing them keeps the decibels at a bearable level allowing me to enjoy the movie.

A one time cash payment does not fix the economy. It will be added to your taxable income come tax day. In the end, it may pay off a bill or two or allow for a frivolous buy, but not much gained on behalf of the recipient.

1. Jared Kushner's trip to Moscow yesterday was not just unethical; it was illegal.

You cannot accept tens of millions of dollars from foreign governments and simultaneously conduct high-level diplomacy for the federal government.

It says it right in the Constitution.
Kushner’s Moscow mission wasn’t just corrupt. It was unconstitutional.
Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law, has been traveling the world to participate in high-stakes foreign policy negotiations on behalf of the president.

A graphic I created to continue my protest against fascism. Patriotism is all about protecting the three pillars: legislative, judicial, executive, and the freedoms many have died to protect. If the executive overrides the other two, it is not a democracy. #democracy 1/2

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.
