You won't believe it... it's a fricking miracle. You know what happened to me? Check this out.

I got a text message.

From a sitting Democrat who holds a statewide office here in Illinois.

And get this... his message DID NOT include a request for money!!!!!!

How is this possible?
Hi Kevin, This is Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias. Tomorrow, Wednesday September 24th, our office is conducting a Virtual Town Hall meeting about the high cost of insurance premiums. Our office is gathering local input from the Peoria area to help inform legislation to address this important issue and put money back in your pocket. The “Driving Change” statewide campaign is aimed at preventing insurance companies from using data such as credit scores, zip codes and age – to charge you higher auto insurance rates. As part of our campaign, we’re asking you to share your stories about unfair and discriminatory ratemaking practices employed by auto insurance companies by joining this important meeting. Click here to RSVP to the Town Hall We hope to see you in attendance tomorrow! Type STOP to opt out

Robert Redford was one of the greats. I love revisiting his movies. Some of my favorites are Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Sting, and All the President's Men.

What was your favorite Redford movie?
Robert Redford as The Sundance Kid Robert Redford as Johnny Hooker in The Sting Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman (as Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein) in All the President's Men

I'm finally watching Guardians of the Galaxy pt 3, and I'm at a part of the movie where Rocket is running along Groot's arm, and I'm realizing...

OMG, Rocket, who is a Raccoon, is best friends with Groot, who is A TREE!

It took me over a decade to realize this.
Rocket and Groot: A raccoon-like creature in a blue and red armored suit wields a large futuristic gun while riding on the shoulder of a massive humanoid figure made of tree bark, with thick wooden arms and a stern expression, inside a metallic, futuristic spaceship corridor.

Trump telling Putin on the tarmac "The tariffs cost nothing... China is paying for the tariffs" and Putin shrugging as if he knows Trump is clueless but doesn't want to be the one who tells him.

I have a pet peeve about trailers, I wonder if you know what I'm talking about. Many trailers are uploaded with letterboxing already baked into the image. When viewed on an ultra-wide screen it has bars on all four sides.

@davechen.bsky.social @jeffcannata.bsky.social @devindra.bsky.social
Green MPA movie trailer screen with white text stating: "The following preview has been approved for appropriate audiences by the Motion Picture Association, Inc." A box indicates the film is rated R for "strong bloody violence and gore, and language." Text below reads: "Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian."

Get ready for lots of posts like this on Facebook.
Oh no, the president bombed a country without Congress? Relax—Obama did it in Libya, Trump hit Syria, Reagan lit up Libya, Clinton yeeted missiles at Sudan, and Bush barely waited after 9/11. It’s basically a presidential rite of passage. 🇺🇸💥

And there you have it, the Democrats folded in the Senate. At least 7 voted for cloture. We need a new Senate leader. Everyone who voted for this should be Primaried.
Screen shot of Senate floor. Cloture vote for the GOP funding bill. The vote isn't over yet, but at least 7 democrats voted for it. The current vote is 60 for cloture and 33 against.

No matter who you voted for, no matter which party represents you in congress. If you are against proposed legislation or actions that people in government are taking, you should call them and let them know.

Pepper is pleading with you to call. She would if she could.
Pepper the hound dog, lies on your belly in the morning, with sad pleading puppy dog eyes.

“We don’t take an oath to a king, or a queen, or to a tyrant or dictator, and we don’t take an oath to a wannabe dictator. We don’t take an oath to an individual. We take an oath to the Constitution, and we take an oath to the idea that is America, and we’re willing to die to protect it.” - General Mark Milley

I'm having trouble understanding how, Trump's approval rating has not declined in the last 3 weeks. The majority of America approve of him, or at least what they know he is doing.

I fear we have no chance of congress stepping up while his approval is this high.

www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-a...
Screenshot of first two paragraphs of article which says: With most describing him as "tough," "energetic," "focused" and "effective" — and as doing what he'd promised during his campaign — President Trump has started his term with net positive marks from Americans overall. Many say he's doing more than they expected — and of those who say this, most like what they see. Very few think he's doing less.
