About 65 years ago I read Orwell’s book, 1984. I was 13. It never occurred to me I’d live to see the book come to life.

Wow, been a minute since I’ve really watched ‘Home Alone 2” and man, thanks to SNL for calling this scene out…

Spent the evening with the grandkids at the Oakland CA zoo for the annual Glofari.

The Anheuser-Busch brewery in Fairfield CA is closing in early 2026. A+++++ economy indeed.

What are Las Vegas odds that the videos of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th strike are in the same place as the missing portion of the Epstein “suicide” video?

Terrific

Walked my 2 grandkids home from school. They’re getting so big. Carved pumpkins and had a nice dinner. A few hours of joy in this horrific world we’re living in. Now I’m home trying not to cry.

CBS been cooked www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

My grandchildren will never see the East Wing. That’s the bottom line for me.

This is very good

Found a decent starting off point to try for rebuilding society:

Spent a wonderful day with my beautiful wife on her 76th birthday. Nice long walk in the Laguna near our home. 7 year old granddaughter’s soccer game. Many Moons Festival (Asian festival) at Ives Park followed up with dinner at a Japanese restaurant in the Barlow. So much gratitude.

Breaking news. This is just for the drug plan. Thanks Trump.

We were just about to sign up for the Disney channel. Not gonna do it now.

A Black man and a homeless man were found hanging from trees in Mississippi yesterday, for those who haven’t seen yet because it’s barely made it out of local news.

Took a walk in the Laguna near our home this morning. Got my 10,000 steps and strolled through our favorite tunnel of love. So grateful to have acres of beauty just a 10 minute walk from our back door. Celebrated 57 years of marriage last week. Oh what a lucky man I am.

I am appalled that so many people are questioning the ability of this man to efficiently and wisely lead the FBI.

Nobody will get fired at the @wsj.com for spreading anti-trans hate. No one will be held accountable for their shitty journalism. Everything will continue as they have been and they’ll do it again soon.

Lawmakers call for more security because of all of the death threats they receive. Fk you. Rid our country of guns and gun worshippers. Imagine yourself being a 6 year old kid afraid of being shot everyday as they get ready for school. Or their parents who live in fear everyday.

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

My friend is friends with them and reposted this Minnesota nice can also be Minnesota strong

Perhaps Newsom should have a cadre of LAPD at his next press conference to protect him from ICE.

Watching the ICE gestapo at the Newsom press conference wondering if I should start wearing a mask again.

There have been at least 217 mass shootings in the USA as of 7/31/25. That’s 31 per month. More one per day. So let’s arrest the homeless in Washington DC.

Latest inflation data just arrived came in right at the consensus forecast. Headline inflation of 0.2% in the month, running at 2.7% over the year. Core rose 0.3% in July, and 3.1% over the year. For two years inflation was declining toward the Fed's target. That seems to be over.

This.👇

Reposting this and a few other things for no particular reason today. Maybe I’ll do it tomorrow and the next day, too.

The day the Access Hollywood tape was released.

I forgot to mention the guy in charge of the new CBS was fired from Comcast for sexual harassment great stuff!

71% of Americans can't locate the Pacific Ocean on a map. 33% don't believe in evolution. 26% believe the sun revolves around the Earth. 40% don’t know what Auschwitz was. 33% can't name any branch of government. 54% read below a 6th grade level. But by all means, eliminate the Dept of Education.

People are saying Jeffery Epstein is not dead but is living on an island in an undisclosed location. “Free Jeffery Epstein” is the new battle cry?

Marines and DHS arrest anti-ICE protester after children were spotted in chains at the federal detention center in LA

here's the video

I actually know people who didn’t vote for Harris because they didn’t want a war monger for president so they wrote in someone else. We live in a stupid country.

“I’m sure Ms. Noem has learned her lesson”, Susan Collins.

This kid is 15, and so has a moral clarity and uprightness that no adult elected official would or could ever have. There aren't really and never have been two sides of this issue, but if it has to be argued as a binary thing I don't see how anything less than this could seem like the side to be on.

FUN FACT: Before his $100 million parade, Trump ends mortgage-rescue program that helps over 20,000 veterans avoid foreclosure, and keep their homes. Enjoy. 😎✨

The Dog Wood’s blooming. The pears are just starting to form. Life goes on. No matter what our dramas are.

We were! 😂👏🏼
