We celebrated our daughter's high school graduation today and one of the speakers recited this poem. It really resonated so I thought I'd share it:

Gorgeous music!

Is it true that Trump plans to divert revenue from tariffs to his new Sovereign Wealth Fund?
So that he can pay off his cronies?
This has to be stopped!

I can't help wondering if this is how ordinary Germans felt as the Nazis took over? I'm angry, frightened and feel completely helpless.

March 5, 2025:

When we impose a tariff and that money is collected by US customs, where does the money go? Into a general fund? Who gets to decide how that money is used? Genuine question - anybody know?

During his remarks, President Trump bent the facts on issues including Social Security, immigration, fentanyl and the Russia-Ukraine war.

Here's what Trump got right — and wrong — in during his 100-minute address.

It seems to me that the Trump administration is targeting the low hanging fruit, easy targets and the most vulnerable in society that will push back the least.
How long will it take for us to realize that the US economy relies on the good work of federal employees, the labor of immigrants?

I agree that Europe needs to step up and take responsibility for their own security and that of countries under the threat of an imperialist Russian regime. But the way the Trump administration is pulling the rug from under the feet of Ukraine's freedom fighters is unforgivable.

I think what concerns me most about the Trump administration is the arrogance and lack of empathy. Where are the offers to support or retrain those federal workers cast aside if somehow they are enemies of the state?

Stand with Ukraine.

I'm surprised at how quiet the current and former leaders of the Democratic Party are during this chaotic but systematic demolition of the federal government. Are they waiting to give Trump and his cronies sufficient rope to truly hang themselves?
Hopefully it won't be too late...?

Golden light through leaves so bright, a dance of day, a kiss of night. Fern fronds reach with whispered grace, soft earth cradles time’s embrace. Shadows weave where silence sings, a realm of dreams on nature’s wings. Step with care, breathe deep, and be free, the forest hums with mystery.

So proud of our senior!

Three points on the road! 🙌

This is what Bo thinks of my handiwork!

A cat that thinks he's an owl? I know he's 'just a cat' but he's doing such a magnificent job keeping us all sane right now!

I had an interesting conversation with someone recently about God, religion and specifically about Jesus. I tried to listen respectfully as he told me that there is no other option than to believe in Jesus if you want to go to heaven. I then tried to explain what I believe.
