I haven’t made much art in many years (was young teacher working 2 jobs, then renovating a house, then another, then kids) but I painted this recently and I’m proud of it. Since this awful election outcome, there’s an urge to make more art. Find more time for things that make us proud/fulfilled.

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly.

Tried out watercolors after a long hiatus. The painting is a copy of a page from one of our favorite picture books, Journey by Aaron Becker. Finally got the other 2 books from the trilogy, so good.

I hope I live long enough to see her in prison.
Kristi Noem has been working with the producer of “Duck Dynasty” to pitch a reality TV show—titled “The American”—where immigrants will compete in a string of challenges across the country “for the honor of fast-tracking their way to U.S. citizenship,” according to a new report.
Noem Plots Reality Show Where Migrants Fight for Citizenship
A Homeland Security official told the Daily Beast that the show is in the early stages of vetting, though approval has not been given—or denied.

Incredible paragraph. "He blamed schools."
Not the rampant criminality and lawlessness among his political party, much of which he personally enabled, all of which he has remained silent about and has refused to take any action to stop.
No, that's not the problem to Roberts. "He blamed schools."
