Hi! I heard this was a great place, so here I am. I love to read. I have out of control ADHD. I have 4 grandchildren and a beautiful wife. Plus, 4 cats and a Beagle who puts up with all of it.
Agents of Influence by Henry Hemming.

This is a fascinating read that should remind Americans that we are not really an isolated island. We need our Allies & they need us.
Churchill was determined to get us into WWII by any means.
This book tells us what those means were.

In case anyone needs a history lesson. The Founding fathers (who did not make it official) preferred E pluribus unum - out of many, one.
Under God" was added to the Pledge (1954) & "In God We Trust" made the motto (1956) during the Cold War to oppose communism, not by the Founders. Courts call this "ceremonial deism," but it still clashes with the First Amendment’s separation of church & state. #History #ChurchState

If I die unexpectedly from an accident, it will be his fault. A.J. follows me everywhere and is so quiet, I forget he's there. Three times today, I turned around and nearly fell over him. (His tail is blurry because the only time it isn't wagging is when he's asleep)

No. Russia should NOT be allowed to keep what they've taken by an illegal war against Ukraine. Ukraine should be allowed to join NATO.

If Ukraine capitulates now, Putin will not stop until he has the former Soviet Union back together.

Zelenskiy Says Kyiv Can’t Take Back Crimea Now in Nod to Trump
Volodymyr Zelenskiy acknowledged that Ukrainian forces would be unable to regain control over Crimea and said the US won’t have to commit troops as part of security guarantees in an apparent overture ...

Do you ever wonder if the real reason we don't do anything about school shootings is because manufacturers can't make money off of the school systems?

@jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social Are you really interviewing Trump today? You're not going to meet the evil one alone, are you? Be careful and have your lawyer on speed dial.

Look, all this pump and dump is making the rich richer. Do NOT sell your stock cheap so some rich guy can buy it and sell it high. If you do not have to take money out of your account, DON'T.

1. This proves what I've known about him. He's a big baby. He's just like every incel and every bigoted, sexist, racist yt male. Nothing going on but victim.
2. This is great news, maybe we can stop the undermining of our government workers from uneducated buffoons.

I think I have to switch to Marriott hotels, unless I hear the same from Hilton.
Marriott’s CEO said it straight: “We welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.”

He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying “thank you.”

Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up.

Marriott still has my business.

Tesla is down (as of this post) $137 for the year. That's 35% of it's value. The stock doesn't pay a dividend. That means you only profit if you bought low & sell high. I'm not a stock broker, but why would I give a company my money & not get anything back. I'll stick with my Ford Stock. Thank you.

Worthy post.
"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.

Is it wrong that this isn't my cat, but I don't want to give him back? He's such a sweetheart. I know at some point, his mom will get better and be able to take care of him, but my heart will break 💔. I feel that way about his big brother, too.

This is A.J. He's been snoring and making weird noises all night. Anyone else have a Beagle that sounds like this? Also, isn't it creepy on how they can sleep with their eyes open?

We cannot let Trump and his Nazi Minions kill DEI and Black History. American history is the history of the Black Americans who, as slaves, built this country. However; white men and some ignorant white women do not want the history of Black Americans to be taught to their tiny feelings children.

Take Unilever off the brands that do good. They fired the CEO because they want Ben & Jerry's to toe the company line, which is to pull away from social issues.

I thought you might like to hear about the ongoing Ebony adventures. She broke my bedroom blinds. But, she did it behind the TV, so I wouldn't notice. This way she can hide and look out the window.
