I am like a wonderful but secondary character in a novel no one reads anymore. I am a hypnotherapist, had people swoon in my arms, a bonafide romantic hero, an old computer wizard, and I have experienced a miracle!
These vindictive prosecutions must stop! Where are the BAR Associations? They should be disbarring attorneys who are prosecuting Trump's enemies without evidence.

SNAP benefits go back into the economy very quickly. If the administration suddenly stops those payments to about 12% of us there will be a significant loss in the economy. The effects could be larger than we realize.

Our Medicaid was closed by mistake. We reopened with a little paperwork.
This was just a horrible coincidence!

Mike and I just got our Social Security checks. There is a deduction from both checks of $370 taken out of each! This is two months of Medicare premiums normally covered by Medicaid.
We squeak by on Social Security. We have no surplus to cut.
Please write to your representatives.

The Supreme Court has given Mr. Trump a series of decisions that seem in contradiction to the Constitution. The results of these decisions in the hands of this man were predictable.
Could we sue the Jurors responsible for this mess?

The White House bunker is under where the East Wing used to be. I would imagine it needed more facilities for Trump's handlers and medical facilities. If Mr. Trump had a medical crisis or his dementia made it so he could not appear on camera, this would be a place to sequester him.

If you live in a gerrymandered district to favor Republicans then votes only count in the Republican primary. Reregister as a Republican and run a RINO (Republican in Name Only). Trump's policies are unpopular even with Republicans so we could win and switch after!

The reports about young Republicans chatting racist language bothers me, not because it's the mental illness behind the overt behavior. There is good reason to believe these men have no empathy for individuals of different genders, colors, religion, or sexuality, so no ethics or integrity applies.

The top 10% now own 70% of the wealth in America and that percentage is growing. If we tax them very little then the money to run the government has to come from a shrinking 30% or add to the deficit. This is obviously unsustainable! Reagan-omics or Trickle Down has proven a failure.

Mr. Trump wants to have his face on a dollar coin. I think a 3 dollar bill would be more appropriate.

Mr. Trump has given Argentina's fascist government $20 billion to float their economy until after the next election. American tax money is going to interfere in their election to favor the fascist!

I wrote to my Republican Representatives. I told them the Continuing Resolution that returns funding for healthcare could save many Republican Seats in the midterms.
The wildly irresponsible tax cuts are poisonous for fiscal Conservatives. It is foolish to repel so many different constituents.

What if Mr. Trump is not lying? Is he is so out of touch with reality he is describing a world produced by his dimetria and malignant narcissism? It's hard to see how Trump is able to do so much damage. Maybe like his Executive Orders written by the Federalist from Project 2025, he could be stirred.

Decades ago I had some great discussions with Socialist. They were smart and their hearts were in the right place. I haven't run into a Socialist since.

The only reason I can imagine Putin is willing to come to a place where he could be arrested for war crimes and bring his invasion of Ukraine to a quick end, would be Putin must have enough blackmail on Trump to feel secure.

There is an increased acceptance of superstition. The following is why I think so many feel superior for their superstitions.

A few thoughts on why we keep seeing right-wing men involved in pedophilia but rarely hear about liberals as claimed by the right.

The interesting part of the "Epstein files" would be the reason Alexander Acosta gave him an easy plea deal in 2008. It protects associates from prosecution. Why were others even mentioned in a plea deal?

Next instalment: Monday I start a new chemotherapy to bring down the cancer enough to start BITTE. It will be a kitchen sink approach with the addition of an old style general cancer chemo. This could be difficult.

I studied psychology in the era of hug therapy. Leo Buscaglia saw me across the Mosconi Center and walked up to me for a hug. He said he could spot a good one.
