1/ It seems that not a lot of people know about Angel Island. Equivalencies have been drawn to Ellis Island, but Angel Island was more about keeping immigrants (primarily Asians) out, while Ellis Island brought people in (primarily European).

Follow up: JD Vance’s page has slithered into my Facebook feed, too.

Check your “liked pages” before they start boasting about how many people have begun following them!

Odd, Facebook has set my wife’s account to follow Trump. I can assure everyone she did not do that on her own.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Jean Chretien is 91 today and he gave himself a birthday present. He told Donald J. Trump to piss off in the The Globe and Mail. Here's his column:

Today is my 91st birthday.

It’s an opportunity to celebrate with family and friends. 1

Donald Trump absolutely HATES the “President Musk” meme with a passion.

Let’s keep spreading it.

Dick Van Dyke spent 3 days a week during the pandemic helping out at three different food pantries for people who couldn't get work.

It later came out that he spent about 15% of his income between March 2020 and October 2022 donating to those same food pantries.
Dick Van Dyke, who'll turn 99 in a few days, sings and dances his way through a new video recorded just a couple of months ago, and whoo-boy, did it make me verklempt. But in a good way. I sure do love that man. youtu.be/o4OlL0OpbW8

I get it, President Biden changed his mind. Maybe not optimal, but all this whining ignores the reality on the ground. The incoming guy has selected vengeful extremists, particularly around Justice. There is no question Hunter was being persecuted. 1/3
