Wednesday night I stayed up late securing myself a new Nintendo system. It’s a long running pattern in my life.

A number of folks stepped up to record a brief message at our town hall in Ruston, LA last night. Here's Jerry Stinson, retired veteran, making his thoughts on the #Muskrats attempts to steal folks' Social Security and benefits quite clear:

Track the pregnant women, and assign them an "appropriate" adoptive family. 👀The speed at which they're going straight to dystopian fiction is INSANE.
A Missouri Representative has filed a bill to track pregnancies in the state.

HB 807 will: "Maintain a central registry of each expectant mother who is at risk for seeking an abortion of her unborn child and make the same available to a prospective adoptive parent who has completed screenings."

Are you excited for tomorrow's "Bowl of Soup"? #thebiggame is on, and Ashley is rooting for The Eagles. Well, mostly the city of Philly really & it's...Gritty based. #philly and #kansascity in #neworleans should be a good time regardless.

One of my favorite quotes, & a perfect encapsulation of the greatness of America when we do it right.

"All the Cokes are the same and all the Cokes are good."

From Andy Warhol.

Here’s something frivolous but not meaningless that we can all hang onto. We’re about to get a Black Captain America. A positive & genuine Superman. & unbelievably, a period piece retro-futuristic Fantastic 4 movie.

Good, good time to be a geek, even if it’s a hard, hard time to be a human being.

I have been LOVING watching #darkshadows the original supernatural soap opera. Pretty good time to jump in if you want to watch along with me.
Episode 48, 49 and 50 are up on YouTube and 51, 52 and 53 are ALL available for Patrons right now.
A great twist, a surprising death and a burgeoning whodunit are onboard for this batch of Dark Shadows, the original supernatural Soap Opera. (YouTube link in comments).

I left my Church over their DEMAND to exclude LGBTQIA+ but my mistrust started over private prisons. Single biggest donor & main proponent of leaving the UMC over LGBTQIA+ is choking on the $$$ he makes from private prisons, largely full of immigrants. Blood money is the ONLY word to describe it.
AOC: "I want folks at home to look at what members of Congress are invested in private prisons companies, and look at the votes on this bill. It is atrocious that people are lining their pockets with private prison profits in the name of a horrific tragedy."

The second episode of "Dad Would Have Loved This" is now live with one my Dad absolutely DID love. It's Kirk Douglas vs. Henry Fonda in "There Was a Crooked Man" and my take on it is live now on YouTube, Spotify & anywhere you listen to podcasts.

The fact that even the richest guy in the world is afraid to admit he did a Nazi salute should be enough to let you know the fight isn’t over.

I’m watching “The Music Man” today. That classic story of a con man who invents a fictional problem for a town so that he can then fleece them of all their money by providing “the cure”. 🤔 Wonder why I felt like that was the watch for today?

The most important fact—that this would be a patently unconstitutional executive order—is omitted from the social copy.
Breaking news: The U.S. government will no longer recognize the citizenship of children born in the United States to immigrants who lack legal status, one of 10 immigration-related executive orders President-elect Donald Trump plans to sign Monday, an incoming administration official told reporters.

Pssst. Have you seen the first of my new YouTube series? No spoilers (until the very end, and I announce them before they're incoming), just a little nostalgia for a movie my Dad loved a LOT.

New video every Wednesday, also available on Spotify as video & audio.
