Still enjoying those moments that take my breath away. Human traveler, lover of family and friends, world and local community member.
I will not give in to the lies. I will not give in to the fear.

Democracy doesn’t fail because people vote.
It fails when voters are misled, choices are distorted, and accountability disappears afterwards — then we’re told this is what democracy looks like.

🗞️From Dan Rather tonight:
"What happened to (60 Minutes) Sharyn Alfonsi’s piece is no less hard to take even, though anyone could see it coming. The barbarians are no longer at the gate. They have breached the walls and are now running the show."

Truth.
Donald Trump can name as many national buildings after himself as he wants to, but it won’t make him a great president.

Truth.
Will never donate or attend anything there until we have a Kennedy Center back. The disrespect of changing all of the names of DC buildings is a reflection, not of respect, but of debilitating narcissism.

Trump’s Rob Reiner comment was low even for him, but it’s the week of Epstein Files release and Affordable Care deadline, so look for more stupid Trump stuff to distract you from that.

Republicans spent years attacking Hunter Biden’s foreign ties. Meanwhile, Jared Kushner raised billions from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar. And now he sits at the center of U.S. media consolidation and back-channel diplomacy. The double standard is glaring.

Another way Trump drives up your costs?
He sidelined the cops who make sure banks and payday lenders follow the law.
Last year those cops ordered more than a billion dollars returned to Americans who were cheated.
This year Trump is letting the cheaters keep YOUR money.

Time for another review of the REAL #TrumpInflationCrisis. I compared prices on Biden's last day in office versus 12/9/25 prices under Trump's ecomonic "genius". My standard Kroger "cart" is up 10%+. These items are jacked up the most, often accompanied by shrinkflation. Are we winning yet?

Trump pardoned a Honduran drug lord who helped move TONS of cocaine into the U.S.
Trump does not care about being tough on crime, stopping drug trafficking, or keeping Americans safe.
This is corrupt beyond belief, and EVERYONE should call it out.

The most transparent administration in history is now hiding both the complete Epstein files and the complete video of the Sept. 2 boat strike from the American people, only releasing the parts of each that they want you to see while concealing the rest.

Trump’s healthcare plan looks a lot like extending subsidies for the ACA. You know, like the Democrats wanted in the first place.
Republicans are the lazy kid in a group project who tears shit up and hassles others for a week only to agree to sign-on on the last day to get a good grade.

Possibly the next chair of the Federal Reserve: "They can't afford bread for stuffing? Tell them to substitute cake!"
Hassett: "On one of the Sunday shows, the anchor criticized the fact Walmart said the Thanksgiving dinner is cheaper by about $10. Then he said, 'Oh yeah, but they substituted generic stuff,' as if having a generic something is a crime for ordinary folks! It shows how out of touch these people are."
