After writing 10 murder mysteries (a series), I've decided my next book will be historical fiction, based upon both sides of my family. They came from France, Germany, and Sweden. I'm kind of excited about this new project. #writers

At a GOP town hall last night, heckling from constituents was apparently too much to handle—so they used police force and even stun guns on their own constituents. What are they so afraid of? Someone disagreeing with their views?

Fear has a way of being contagious.

But courage is also contagious.

I didn’t want this to happen.

I voted for the smart black lady.

Today's stock market crash was the worst since the Spring of 2020.

Can you guess who was president during *both* crashes? I bet you can!

In my red city in a blue state (Quincy, IL) our incumbent Republican mayor has been defeated by an Independent candidate who is a (gasp) woman! And the city rejoices. Well, at least most of us do.

When people say 'politics is too divisive now,' what they really mean is 'I was more comfortable when certain groups suffered quietly.'

X is not worth 33 billion. He basically just paid himself $33B from another company, presumably to pay off his debts from the initial buy because he knows he'll never be able to raise the capital from X itself.

He is his own ponzi scheme.

Right Wing Christian Nationalists bug the hell out of me.

RWCN: You must follow the Bible.
Me: Okay, let’s go feed the poor.
RWCN: But…
Me: Okay, maybe clothe the naked instead.
RWCN: But…
Me: I’ve got an idea. Let’s visit the imprisoned.
RWCN: Yeah, but…
Ad infinitum.

I feel like getting a gang tattoo and see if I get arrested. I’m 77.

The Pentagon just erased pages on the Holocaust, 9/11, veteran suicides, and Native American code talkers—all in the name of Trump’s DEI purge. This isn’t just policy—it’s erasing history. What else will they delete next?

Last night, we turned our clocks ahead one hour but MAGA left theirs set to Germany 1938.

Yep, it’s hard to disagree with this.

Just reading the fact checks is enough to sicken me; I’m glad I didn’t watch the speech.
