Whenever I get an email addressed to “young professionals”, I have to sadly remind myself that this no longer applies to me. #over50

Big life-long Eagles fan here and so excited for the Superbowl but every time the media mentions that “he” will be at the game, it ruins the whole vibe! He & the refs are not going to make it easy for the Eagles. He ruins everything!!!!

I'd LOVE to stop all of the solicitations to STOP what's happening within the US government by donating $5 or whatever amount. Those we elected need to do their damn jobs and STOP THE MADNESS!!! I donated before the elections, I voted.. I did my part! Now you do yours!

As the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wisely said, "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." Today and every day, I pledge to never silence my voice in the fight for what is right, and I will continue to march in the path he forged toward justice.

So far, 2025 has been a total sh*tball. I’d like to return it. No refund required.

I hope the incoming administration is listening to every word of every speech at the funeral of President Carter. He needs to!!! But we all know he won’t. It’s shameful!
