Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, Gen Z, and Gen Alpha ALL deserve a dignified retirement– NOT TO GET WORKED TO DEATH!
We can promise a secure retirement for ALL generations if we tax the rich!

"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all."

We cannot let a person who has a nematode in his brain, who was addicted to heroin for 14 years, and who drove his wife to take her own life, who has sexual assault allegations against him, and a fetish with dead animals – to make *any* kind of health decisions for *anyone*.

Well, this is interesting. It looks like one of the groups approved to disburse Missouri tax money to private religious schools is using half of the money for administrative costs and payroll.
School choice is a scam.

Of the $6,000,000 listed on the Herzog Foundation’s taxes, roughly $2,000,000 actually went to private schools (the Foundation’s raison d’être) in 2023 ($860k to one school btw).They spent just over $2,000,000 on payroll alone for their whopping staff of 14 employees. School choice is a scam.

It shouldn’t be ignored that Kash Patel chose to plead the Fifth in response to a grand jury subpoena over the Mar-a-Lago classified documents.
He only testified, involuntarily, after being granted immunity.
Think about that. Trump’s FBI nominee pled the Fifth in response to a DOJ subpoena.

Trump has made it ABSURDLY easy to buy influence. Here's a guy under SEC investigation who just happened to buy $30 million of Trump's new crypto token

I’m in line for teriyaki during Black Friday shopping, and a young man (early 20s?) is getting his order.
He asks the lady that prepared his food how to say “thank you” in her language.
She stood silent for about ten seconds and then simply said, “thank you?”
Poor kid. That was awkward as hell.

Had a relaxing drive to relatives for Thanksgiving. Good weather, decent traffic, and R.E.M. playlist pumping the entire time.

Happy Thanksgiving to family and friends. I have a lot to be grateful for this year, despite my political grumbling.
Be safe. Enjoy your food coma nap. You will NOT have to fight me during any Black Friday sales. I’ll stay comfortably behind my computer.

Imagine thinking there's "too much negativity" and thinking the solution is Donald Trump, someone who can't even wish people Merry Christmas without throwing in a jab about the "losers and haters"
Ingraham: Trump is fun. He is a fun factor in politics and my gosh, we need to have more fun in this country. Too much negativity all the time.

Just got off customer service call with Amazon. Had a large box delivered that it’s a miracle every single item didn’t fall out.
Top flap entirely open. Tape didn’t cover any part of the box seam, just the other flap. The bottom tape was diagonally placed leaving huge gap.
90% of order missing.

Any absence of grandbaby photos is not because I’m not completely over the moon but simply abiding by parents’ request for no social media posts.
