The Democrats should have kept up the fight, even if it means children around the country go hungry without SNAP payments, and federal employees go into financial hardship because they are not getting paid.

On one hand, I want the Dems to fight. On the other hand, fighting means people go hungry. It is easy for those of us who do not depend on SNAP to say they should keep fighting.

Easy answer: The Dems are led by Chickenshit Chuck and Hapless Hakeem. www.salon.com/2025/11/09/n...

Chickenshit Chuck strikes again.

I'd like to see us target one company and boycott that single company to inflict maximum hurt on it. That will send a mesaage to others that if they do not stop supporting Trump, they will be next. It will have to be a company used in everyday life, not a specialty company like Tesla. Focus pain.

"I don't want to hear about the affordability." -- Trump Let's make this Trump's "Let them eat cake."

"There will never be another like him" is what gets me through every day.

I am OK with this as long as it is called "Donald Trump Memorial Stadium."

How yesterday went for me: My dog threw up in his crate. I washed the cover for his crate mattress and put it outside to dry. A bird crapped on it.

Looks like the fascist cops in NYC are getting ready to leave. Mamdani has not even been sworn in and he is already doing good things.

After hearing the Republicans attack "The War on Christmas" for so many years, who'd have thought it would be the Republicans who would destroy Christmas by making it unaffordable, killing gift-giving, and making travel much more difficult?

Daily Reminder:

In Trump's feeble mind, only he can order gerrymandering, not the people who live in the state. calmatters.org/newsletter/p...

Is it possible that New Yorkers voted for Mamdani because they want Dave Portnoy to leave town? www.realtor.com/news/celebri...

Let me make sure I have this correct: Trump says Republicans lost elections last night because of the government shutdown that is the fault of Democrats. Is that right?

Momdani's win in NYC is big news. But let's not forget that Democrats won governors' races in New Jersey and Virginia, Pennsylvania turned back billionaires' campaign to take over the state Supreme Court, and California approved redistricting.

Does anyone remember the 1968 Dodge Vincent Van? It was a high-performance van that had a 428-cubic-inch Hemi engine and a 4-speed manual transmission. It wasn't much to look at, but you should have seen that Vincent Van go.

Scott Adams does not care if others lose healthcare. But when he has problems, he expects help from Trump. Other people can be left to die but Scott Adams thinks he is special. www.cnn.com/2025/11/02/p...

Daily reminder:

I have an idea to reduce landfill waste and the use of plastics. What if milk, soda and other drinks were packaged in reusable glass bottles? When you buy the bottles, you pay a deposit that you get back when you return the bottles to the store. Then the bottles would be washed and used again.

Mike Johnson's dilemma: If he does not swear in Adelita Grijalva, he is criticized for protecting the pedophile in the White House. If he does swear her in, GOP representatives will have to vote to protect the pedophile in the White House. He is protecting the pedophile in the White House.

How did the "Roaring 20s" end? Wasn't it with the start of the Great Depression?

When I was growing up in the late 1960s and 1970s, we thought cops were pigs and were looking for ways to beat and abuse people. Then, it became less acceptable to think that way. Turns out, we were right!

Daily reminder:

Halloween last night was actually fun. I live in a neighborhood with a lot of good kids and parents who watch out for them. The neighborhood has been turning over, so there were a lot more young kids out trick-or-treating. Those are the kids who are the most fun.

Is it possible for @NPR to be any more condescending to its listeners? "All Things Considered" and most of the daytime programming is unlistenable to anyone over 14.

I wish there were a way I could donate more to my local @pbs.org station without any of the money helping the @npr.org station.

As usual, AP gets it all wrong as they slant the story to the right. The GOP campaign is funded by billionaires. It was not a "late-emerging campaign." It started months ago. The Democrats had to scramble to come up with the funds to counter the GOP campaign. apnews.com/article/elec...

Let's see ... Arrest 20 people and 70% of them are cops. Keep telling me cops are honest.
