The saying used to be that a picture is worth a thousand words. Given the introduction of AI into the equation, I think the "exchange rate" has been devalued. A lot.

Wasn't sure what musical rabbit hole I was going to go down today...and then I saw a video that referenced "The Sound of Silence"...and then I knew...I gotta watch the Concert in Central Park.

If Network NEWSCASTS, and their Late Night Shows, are almost 100% Accurate about a Pathological Liar and Convicted Felon who Incited an Insurrection, tried to Steal a Fair Election and is Covering up Sex Crimes against Children, shouldn't his Disgraceful Presidency be terminated? I say, YES!

Admittedly, I didn't read as much as I would have liked during the year...but, I did get a chunk of reading 'done'.
And, the kindle is currently charged and ready for me to dive into whatever is next.

This is a betrayal of the promise we make to veterans that we will care for them after they put their lives on the line for us.

The Trump Administration just banned abortion care for veterans -- no matter whether they live in a state where abortion rights are protected or not.
As an American and a physician who has cared for patients at the VA, I am outraged.

Department of Veterans Affairs quietly implements abortion ban
A VA spokesperson confirmed to MS NOW that the ban was in place following a Department of Justice memo issued last week.

Trump’s problem is that so many Americans — including his MAGA base — believed that he’d expose a powerful global elite.
But every day it's becoming more and more clear that Trump is part of that global elite.
Expect him to lash out as the walls close in.

When our veterans stepped up to serve, there was no waiting line—and there shouldn’t be one now. Risking veterans’ access to earned care by eliminating tens of thousands of VA health care jobs is unacceptable, and our veterans deserve better.

There's a side of me that wonders what it means to be "struck". Was it a case of the agent being grazed by a car and developing a case of the ass...or, was it a case of the agent being HIT by the car?
Though, in both cases, I question the use of his gun.
