"When Mexico sends its people, they're sending their best. They're sending firefighters to help solve American problems. They're bringing fire fighting uniforms. They're bringing fire fighting equipment. They're bringing kittens down from trees. And all, I assume, are good people."

They know. They're choosing a side. Don't bother to give them air arguing. They know, they've chosen those who think our existence is political.

Gang, I don’t think I can stay seriously plugged into politics for the next few years. I think I will actually go mad.

I may spend a lot of that brain space restoring this three acre chunk of overgrazed rangeland. At least I can FIX that.

“When you escape tragedy, you say, ‘it could have got me.’ It didn’t. So I’m going to keep on going,” said 83-year-old Walt Butler.

Thanks to all who were concerned if our house survived the fires. Amazingly enough... it did. My heart goes out to everyone who weren't as fortunate, not only in my neighborhood, but all of Los Angeles. Together, we will get through this! ❤️-mh

Remember, it’s not okay to talk about gun control after a mass shooting because that’s ’politicizing it.’

But it IS okay for conservatives to lie about a climate change catastrophe as it’s happening and blame it on ‘DEI.’

Hey, I don’t make up these rules. They do.
