In the last week, the US military shot down a CPB drone. Now we have 3 US military jets downed by US allies. Employ clowns for leadership. Expect a circus.

The blossoms have started showing up at Veterans’ Park in Arlington, TX. Apologies to those still dealing with the snow!

How is anyone buying into the idea of these Trump accounts for kids? It’s like social security plans for kids. We know that they are trying to get rid of social security! Down the road, some political oddity will call these accounts “entitlements” and try to eliminate those too!

A prince arrested and a president sentenced to life on the same day - both for crimes which Trump is known to have committed.

Between talking at a town hall meeting in Arlington, TX. “Don’t f*** with the women of Texas!”

The news is making a big deal about the “big clue” in the Nancy Guthrie case of a Walmart brand backpack. If you didn’t know that the FBI is run by incompetent fools, now you know. Walmart has to have sold thousands if not millions of those backpacks.

Dear NBC Now… If you insist on showing extended segments of the Lamas interview with the orange menace, I will insist on watching BBC News instead. I’m not interested in watching softball questions and rambling lies on any subject. @nbcnews.com

Winter afternoon at the pond. The weather was dreadful last week but today it was in the low 60s with sun. It’s hard to believe we will get more winter. @PappyElkinsPark #DalworthingtonGardens #LocalParks #Texas

if nothing else, there is documentation that the US engaged in slavery, used voter suppression and economic power to try to control blacks, and are now using those same policies to control brown people too. there is also documentation that not all Americans are ok with it. The Internet is forever!

I’d like to think I’d do the same. Talk about a challenge of conscience! youtu.be/Fk1jecKDVug?...

dressed like a Nazi, Bovino comes out to spread his propaganda. Defensive shots??? The slain man was being assaulted by several DHS officers and was on the ground! Of course, the shooter worked for border patrol for many years!

Fire stations in Clifton, Texas. #StreetArt #PunlicArt #SmallTownTexas

the administration that is hyping AI is not using AI to redact only the names and photos of victim names from the Epstein files. if they were, thebfiles would be fully released by now.

Bad weather is coming! Look at him go!!!

Watching a news story about one of the upcoming Olympians from the US, I am wondering if these kids are ready to hear boos when they walk in the opening ceremonies. I feel for them.

“heroism is neither being perfect, nor doing something spectacular. In fact, it’s just the opposite: it’s regular, flawed human beings choosing to put others before themselves, even at great cost, even if no one will ever know, even as they realize the walls might be closing in around them.”

There was a time when a slight case of sniffles would be nothing to me, but with the state of the country, I just want to curl up in my bed with the curtains drawn and ignore the world. Oh well… off to work anyway.

“Spiritual people use religion to become better people. Fundamentalists use religion to pretend they’re better than other people. Human hate has been around a lot longer than religion. It’s natural and at times we all fall prey to it” ― John Fugelsang, Separation of Church and Hate #SundaySentence

How do I get BlueSky to stop offering me selfies of dudes who claim they are about to go on just got out of the hospital? I keep blocking but more keep showing up! It’s not that I don’t care at all but I don’t need it and have no energy to deal with it while my country is spiraling!

Any bets that any body cam footage of Good’s murder has now been deleted?

I hope the Venezuelan people realize that our authoritarian is just as bad as the one that he just kidnapped.

Everyone is talking about the Epstein files and the distractions being used to keep the information quiet. I believe the Epstein files are a distraction to keep people from focusing on all other incompetent, illegal and suspicious activities with this administration.

“Only in America can you be pro death penalty, pro war, pro drone bombs, pro torture, pro cutting services for the poor, pro for-profit privatized healthcare, pro dismantling USAID, and still call yourself “pro-life.” ― John Fugelsang, Separation of Church and Hate #SundaySentence

“I think mediocre men hate sexually independent women because they can’t handle the truth, and the truth is that SLUT is secretly an acronym for Sexually Liberated, Unapologetic, and Truthful.” “Separation of Church and Hate”, By John Fugelsang #SundaySentence

I totally avoided the TACO tantrum by watching The Christmas Chronicles, Parts 1 and 2. I think I came out on the winning end!

Why is anyone thinking that we now have a comforter in chief in the White House? He could not muster sympathy when government officials were murdered in their homes. His reaction to school shootings has been “it happens”. He is incapable of filling that role! Everyone should know that by now!

My favorite Rob Reiner character… he understood you Didn’t need to be the main character to be a star! youtube.com/shorts/mQsDx...

“Many Christians passionately cling to the antigay parts of Leviticus, but they don’t exactly live by the rest of Leviticus, which also forbids tattoos, wearing mixed fabrics, working on Saturdays, and eating shellfish.” ― John Fugelsang, Separation of Church and Hate #SundaySentence

Today we honored our veterans for Wreaths Across America.

Afternoon walk at Pappy Elkins Park. It’s the Christmas season but we are finally getting some fall colors.

I hope the next frame shows Lady Liberty beating him with her torch!

As I said… the orange menace does nothing that doesn’t promise to give him or one of his relatives and cronies something extra.

Of course the orange menace is going to look closer at the Netflix deal. He wants to figure out how he can make money from it while controlling CNN.

“It’s a gospel of control over caring, power over humility, and judgment over mercy. They won’t fight for the words of Jesus, but they’re profoundly committed to stuff they believe he said.” ― John Fugelsang, Separation of Church and Hate #SundaySentence

It’s sad that I had to think which person she meant. There are so many horrible people in the cabinet who should have lost their appointments. If only we had a functioning Congress.

I want to donate toys to our local mission, but I don’t want to buy junk or from stores that don’t pay a living wage. Where do I go?

What’s the point of buying a gift for someone that is picked and located by AI? It’s like saying “I couldn’t be bothered to pick the wrong gift on my own.” You may as well buy a gift card!

He thinks the rest of the world respects the US? He is nuts! It’s so embarrassing that news stories like this are now common in foreign media. youtu.be/Ef6sY72VvqM?...

Thanksgiving Day walk with my son. It was a beautiful walk, and if smells are any indicator, people in his neighborhood know how the cook!

Gorgeous orange sunset over the trees.

What passes for Fall in DFW.

I knew it was a long list but holy crap!

It’s Red Cup day at Starbucks. In support of Starbucks workers that are striking, I went somewhere else!

Watching House proceedings on CSpan. I swear it’s like Republicans are in a different reality than I am.

It’s always a grift with these people. I will not be surprised if a future EO demands that overweight people take these weight loss drugs to avoid being taxed extra. www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...

the White House staff is likely hiding all of the condiments from Cankles Caligula about now!

I would like a reporter to ask the current administration how the deficit grew by a trillion dollars in two months if the US is brining in billions and billions of dollars in tariffs.
