We have a madman in the White House who is actively trying to trigger total war.
If Jeffries, Schumer, or any other Democratic leaders try to justify this, shrug indifferently, or write a strongly-worded letter and call it a day, they need to step down or be aggressively primaried.

Quick reminder to all my associates in Georgia. The white stuff on the ground is Snow, and if it’s yellow, don’t eat it. I suggest just looking at it from the safe confines of the interior of home through a window.

The Airfryer/Toaster oven is on its last leg. It’s a sad day, we have had this one in use since 2019. 6 years with almost daily use, in a family of 5. Hope the next one is as resilient.

My children seem to be much happier than I was at the same age. Cris and I are very different parents than we grew up with, and approach it very differently. Learning own thier own, with minor corrections is a big part of it. things that were big issues for our parents just don’t matter to us.

Health care should not be a for profit industry outside of the Hippocratic oath. The fact insurance companies rake in billions in profits while patients suffer is absolutely disgusting.

Okay, what is the deal with wearing straight up pajamas out to do things? I get running into the grocery store or something, but there are people going to the movies, eating at nice restaurants, shopping for Christmas. I don’t mean to judge, but do they still wear those to bed too?
