Took a photo before neighborhood deer find this. We have 6 seasons of spring in the Midwest. This bloom let's me know spring is serious, this time.

Question: If Talarico loses TX primary, will he be able to return to TX house? Same w/ Crockett. Will she be able to keep her seat in Congress? I'm thinking about CA's Katie Porter's primary loss - all 3 rising stars in Dem party.

Sis-in-law told hubs (brother) she won't vote trump again. Convenient, 3 votes = 3 strikes. She's 'old time' religious, closed minded & raised repub. Glad she's waking up, but she'll most likely vote maga again. Hubs told her the repub party no longer exists. I'm genuine but civil.

G'Morning. Please & thank you, send energy & kindness to my hubs. Second stroke after prostate surgery. Currently in rehab facility until 2 more weeks. If progress made, he moves to intense rehab. Other less desireable options if little progress. Tough on my athletic hubs.

Extrovert hubs has been in hospital so people have showed up to support him. His 'extended' are conserv evangelicals & hubs & kids are more progressive. We all know how to be civil. Daughter is getting triggered. They were a big art of her childhood. How can they vote maga?

If you read Bari Weiss' biography on Wikipedia, you will quickly realize that she causes controversy and dissension at every media she's worked for. Not a person you'd want to hire for a national main stream TV outlet. Read it.

In dark times, this is why we need each other.

What happened to Q Anon? Are Hatians still earing cats & dogs? I'm not following network news as much. What am I missing?

Been busy lately; out & about. Thinking about all the people I've crossed paths with. Thankful I've never met anyone as horrible as the people in T's administration. Beyond sad that horrible people are leading our country.

so far tonight msnbc has interviewed two students from brown university that are also survivors of separate high school shootings. insanity.

Classic Sadistic Personality Disorder – taking joy-pleasure in other people's suffering, pain, torture, and death. And sadism *never* exists in isolation – it's always accompanied by sociopathy-psychopathy (ASPD).

Windy day in KC. Ate soup & binge watched THE BEAST IN ME, Netflix. Gave me a 'justice' fix I needed.

MTG entered Congress as middle class & will exit a multi millionaire w/ 5 yr pension.

There are not enough therapists in the USA to handle our country's cult problem.

trump and the DOJ seem to be waging a personal war against Kilmar Abrego Garcia and wanted to deport him somewhere and this is after trump pardoned a more than a 1000 J6 insurrectionist and is still pardoning so many criminals like Rudy Guiliani !!

Stages of maga grief - ADMIRING ANOTHER PERSON's SPOUSE WEARING CLUB CLOTHES & JEWELRY RUNNING MANICURED NAILS THROUGH A MARRIED MAN'S HAIR FULL PRESS HUGS W/ MEN And this stuff if you get around to it: DENIAL, ANGER, BARGAINING, DEPRESSION, ACCEPTANCE

So, basically, we live in a world where half the chickens in the coup voted for Colonel Sanders.

Living in a maintenance- provided community, we don't have many treaters knocking on our door.

1st grade grandson - G-ma, do you think trump likes McDonalds a lot because it has golden arches? That kid doesn't miss a thing.

I heard Epstein files went up in the rapture. We tried.

Kirk was raised pentecostal. Cringe. I married one & went to his church after marriage. They don't value higher education women were shallow & men angry & closed minded. In general, the meanest people I've met: spiritually superior & under informed. We had a long separation over his cult church.

A thought - Move the UN to Toronto?

Donold Quixote is in his 'fighting windmills' stage. The world knows it. Don Quixote serves as a cautionary tale about self-delusion when dreams are not grounded in reality. [Don Quixote, novel by Miguel de Cervantes]

I deliver Meals on Wheels to a widower who lives in a suburban, 4 bedroom home. His adult g-daughter & her 2 toddlers greet me at the door. G-daughter told me g-pa made an apt downstairs & gave his home to her, hubs & kids. She's a nurse. Home w/ toddlers & care for g-pa. Functional family

Sometimes you need to laugh.

As the story goes, Scrooge had a special adventure one evening with 3 spirits. What a Wash DC entreprenurial venue this could be: kidnap a favorite evil person for an evening & introduce them to 3 spirits. Involve family, friends, cohorts & actors. (Thinking of you, Kilmead)

SCROOGE'S REPLY TO A CHARITY WORKER - "If they would rather die... they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population." THEN SCROOGE ASKED: . "Are there no prisons? And the workhouses? Are they still in operation?" In an attempt to simplify my life, I accept this reality: It's good v evil.

So, Gov Spencer Cox, UT, claims to have prayed for 33 hrs about Kirk's murderer. If he truly meditated in the presence of a loving, Higher Power, he would be changed & enlightened. Me thinks someone fabricated his sappy story.

My daily, self-talk gratitude thing & thought about countries I'm proud of: Brazil, Norway, S Korea, Canada, Mexico, Greenland, Poland, Ukraine, Scotland, Portugal, Panama & free Europe in general & more. They stand up to maga. Today's USA: We think we have a pretty baby, but other countries don't.

From a spiritual (not religious), biological & humanitarian point of view - someone full of spite should implode, right?

Dad was airline employee & often gone at night. Mom died & older siblings moved. Often home alone, dad taught me to shoot a gun & placed one bullet in chamber so no one could wrestle the gun from 105 lb me. Army vet dad taught me violence is bad but if attacked, be fierce. One chance, non-magas.

Wake up, America! "The future election of any Democratic president must be a moment of far-reaching democratic restoration. The clock starts ticking the day after they are elected. Any Democratic president who fails to govern with that reality firmly in mind, must be reckoned a failure."

Alan Greenspan, conservative economist, Federal Reserve, has been RUMORED to Epstein ties. He is married to Andrea Mitchell, MSNBC. What does Andrea know?

A blue-voting, Independent (never trump conserv) friend asked why AGs Barr & Bondi are more active than Biden's Garland. He also asked me why maga & media have left Garland alone. He asked if Biden showed frustration w/ Garland. I'm not sure how to answer him. Thoughts?

Every Intolerable Decision issued by this corrupted Supreme Court can be reversed in the future when we increase the number to 13 Justices (one per Circuit) and appoint unbiased, un-corrupted people to fill the new seats. That must be our goal.

Dangerous to who, exactly?

“Education is not memorizing that Hitler killed 6 million Jews. Education is understanding how millions of ordinary Germans were convinced that it was required. Education is learning how to spot the signs of history repeating itself.” –Noam Chomsky

Fun text from my flight attendant daughter. Boarding during a Dublin to Newark flight, an Irish, female senior told my daughter she reads news & despises the orange turd. Somebody rec'd special customer service on her flight.

I'll remember Hulk Hogan for his bad life decisions. I spotted him in early 2000s in Key West, FL w/ his practice family. He walked behind his wife like a scolded pup. Wish I could think of something nice to say about him.

Fox Network is, and always has been, the banjo in an orchestra. (Quote unknown)

No one is going to come here. Everyone knows that the only reason this government exists now is to stuff the pockets of the Trump family—a two bit construction firm made up of idiot children We are the like the food menu a Trump hotel—Spoiled, overdone, tasteless, and not worth the money
