Going quiet again. And taking time away from social media. Getting plenty of rest too.

The Venezuelan oil industry is ‘a total bust’ according to Donald Trump, something he has promised to ‘fix’ after attacking Caracas and seizing the country’s leader. But with analysts estimating it could take up to 14 years and billions to fix, what is in it for the US president?

Denmark ‘will shoot first and ask questions later’ over Greenland Danish defence ministry confirms 1952 rule of engagement requiring soldiers to attack invading forces, following threat from US 🇩🇰🇬🇱

A U.S. military seizure of Greenland from a longtime ally, Denmark, would send shock waves through the NATO alliance and deepen the divide between Trump and European leaders. 🇩🇰🇬🇱

“To ICE, get the f*** out of Minneapolis. We do not want you here. Your stated reason for being in this city is to create some kind of safety, and you are doing exactly the opposite.”

Trump is the Emperor With No Clothes people. Raw, naked US power in full effect, and he cannot be stopped while he is in office. I’m going quiet.

When you can illegally lawlessly and with zero permission snatch any world leader up in the dead of midnight, you can snatch up anyone illegally lawlessly and without permission.Practicing social media silence for awhile and going quiet.

Planning on going quiet for awhile. I was trying to distance myself from social media throughout the holidays and I will continue to do so.

Prof. Jeffrey Sachs discusses the US invasion of Venezuela and the brazen kidnapping of President Maduro. A wholly illegal act which violates interational law. I of course stand with the people of Venezuela throughout these developing events. ❤️❤️‍🩹🇨🇦🇻🇪

Oh, the rhythm of my heart Is beatin' like a drum With the words "I love you" Rolling off my tongue Oh, never will I roam Now I know my place is home Where the ocean meets the sky I'll be sailin' ⛵ Happy New Years Everyone 😊✌️❤️

Pay attention to how your mood shifts around certain people or situations. You are reminded to stay in control of your emotions instead of letting them run the show. When you focus on yourself, you instantly protect your peace. If you’re thinking of starting something new - working on a

Always protect your peace, you have to come first when it comes with your heart and mind

Some people will say anything to get attention. You want to bruise their ego better to ignore them or pity them. In the long run better to starve them of the attention they crave. Just remember to protect your peace because at times that's all we have 😜

“When you have once seen the glow of happiness on the face of a beloved person, you know that a man can have no vocation but to awaken that light on the faces surrounding him. In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.” -Albert Camus

So happy to have time off. Time to catch up on things. Sleep. Computer time daily walks. et.

While he blames Biden on TV, his own voters are asking strangers for help online and wondering why he doesn’t care.

Reading this magnificent book about the Stardust fire. So many familiar names and places, so many ordinary people let down and killed by greed, and such a long wait for justice. I've wept with sadness and anger, and there will be more tears before I finish it. www.kennys.ie/history/iris...

Trump's Justice department won't meet deadline to release all the Epstein files. Legislation passed by Congress and signed into law by Trump demanded all files be released by Dec. 19.

Done my morning work shift. Now I’m home for the holidays!

What does Trump have in store for us next? We’re waiting in anticipation every day for something unexpected. More bold-faced lies like in his address? Just simple fact checking proves everything he said was false.

Tech CEO Bryan Johnson says he’ll make humans immortal by 2039—first he just needs to sort out ‘buggy’ issues like ‘mistakenly causing cancer.’

Have to get ready for work tomorrow. Time to get busy at work. Plenty of coffee will be required possibly. But alas, first I will get a long rest and plenty of ZzZs …. 😴💤

Enjoyed my dinner. Finishing up on my computer and going to bed. Crazy and wild Trump address tonight of course. But I must let go of last week and today’s craziness taking up rental space in my head so I can actually sleep tonight … 🥱😴💤

Were the hottest country on Earth. The price of eggs is down 82% and falling rapidly. For miners we’re bringing back clean beautiful coal. No tax on tips. Warrior Dividend. Yada.Yada.Yada …

Trump probably thought his address would come off as reassuring to Americans. From defending his economic approach to scapegoating and blaming of immigrants, Biden and the Democrats for sending grocery prices soaring. Polls say otherwise about what Americans think of his handling of the economy.

Trump’s address was tense and furious, he wasn’t breathing except through his nose when completing a sentence. He’s obviously scared for how his handling of the economy makes him look to Americans.

A nice mid afternoon walk. Took some pictures. Then walked home. Doing some personal computer stuff having dinner and settling down for the night.

Resting and gaming today. Might take a walk in the sunshine later if the weather holds. Beautiful day 🌞 ⛅️

This is Europe’s secret weapon against Trump: it could burst his AI bubble. Growth in the US economy – and the president’s political survival – rest on AI. The EU must use its leverage and stand up to him.

The Sun has come back this afternoon. Nice to see it again 🌅🌞☀️

Resting in the car for a bit. Dropping off veggies at my brother’s house and going swimming tonight.

Trump is one sick, disgusting human being who has to make everything about himself. I don’t understand for the life of me how he still draws crowds and people actually support him 😡😡🤢🤮
