Our government should not be for sale. Not to foreign countries. Not to corporations. Not to billionaires.

Is it me or is Trump thanking Congress often? He has ruled by Executive Order with only one major bill. Congress does nothing now.

This is going to go over well. Talk about making a statement.

Imagine a CEO filing a lawsuit against the company he runs.

Jack Smith should be the next Attorney General. Smith is one guy criminals, political and otherwise, would fear.

So, I got this in Chicago for a sale price. Seriously impressive bourbon. Now I wish I bought 2 or 3 bottles. Lots of flavor and I am still processing what I taste. Vanilla, chocolate, and a little tobacco but in a good way.

American capitalism: privatize the profits, socialize the losses.

Great video on foreign actor destroying our country! youtube.com/watch?v=x_cr...

Reddit says this bourbon is limited to Kentucky. I scored a bottle at Jewel in Illinois. A great bourbon for the price. 9+ year single barrel. Good brown sugar/ oak notes up front, smooth going down. Drinks a little hotter than the proof. Cannot beat the age/price ratio.

I guess those jobs were cut too soon? www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

The only solution to the American political mess is complete campaign finance transparency/ reform. End the corporate / billionaire control of our country!

TYT talked about this. Huckabee and likely others do what they want for reasons against US interests.

Let’s not forget that Howard Lutnick’s sons will make billions from the Supreme Courts ruling on tariffs should the court actually follow the constitution.

Beautiful fall day.

Benchmark has a series of bourbons that I think are spectacular for the price.

Disney is a cheap carnival. We need to go after Meta, Google and Palantir if you want to make a difference!

This one is distilled in Paxton, IL from regionally grown corn. Don’t know how long it is aged for but I would guess 4 years. It has a driving south on 55 through Central Illinois with the windows down earthy notes.

Along Lake Superior’s Southwestern shore it was rainy in the morning but a wonderful sunset by the evening.

A Walmart in the UP was selling this Maker’s Mark French Oaked. Really strong cherry notes in a good way.

I guess if you cannot measure CO2 you cannot make the direct connection to climate change.

I went to Binny’s hoping to score the store select single barrel 1792. Although the website promised 5 bottles, Binny’s had none😬. I got this single barrel Knob Creek instead. Single barrels just make me feel special!

Simple bourbon shelve made with a bourbon stave.

Orange and cherry bourbon cello … of sorts.

Big beef ribs. Yum!

It was on sale. Much better than the reviews. It has wonderful sweet notes at first. Well worth the sale price.

Too lazy to make an Old Fashioned.

It’s time

Nice!

Overturning Citizens United along with campaign finance reform should be #1 on the Democrat platform. Nothing would help America than cleaning out the big money from our politics!

A Sonoma made whiskey. Wonderful sweet flavors hit your palette followed by the traditional flavors of a rye whiskey. Very smooth and enjoyable as a sipper.

Yum! Wonderful Friday night pour. Surprised at the flavors.

Comer and Jordan spent 2 years looking for anything to impeach Biden and now MAGA wants us to believe some conspiracy theory. How about if Joe was so bad why didn’t these two super idiots figure it out?

Kind of early for a drink but I could not resist this rye I have not yet tried.

Still some snow in the Rockies.

Trump's Navy Secretary Keeps Flubbing The Date Of Pearl Harbor - HuffPost

So the GOP just passed a $5.3 trillion spending bill with $4 billion in cuts. $4 billion is zero! The GOP will borrow money and give that money out as tax breaks. The wealthy get wealthier and the dollar gets closer to collapse.

Time for an after dinner bourbon.

Our local news announced “changes” coming to Social Security. Office closures and staff reductions plus a requirement for people to go to the offices in person. How are the sick and elderly going to go to a physical office to claim their benefits?

I’m starting to hear about privatization of Social Security from the Right. This idea has come up in the past and usually gets shot down when the market crashes. My guess is Musk will suggest Crypto as an option. What a disaster that would be.

Just saw an Advertisement telling me to write my Democrat Senator to support the GOP budget bill. We need to do the opposite! Contact your local Senator and tell them the GOP has lists its way!

The Democrat House members should begin a campaign of forwarding anti corruption legislation. How about a bill that ends all foreign donations to politicians? A bill that demands transparency in campaign funding? Won’t get to the floor but they get to point out who stopped it.

More people need to call their local conservative radio stations. Hit these clowns at home.

There seems to be confusion on the part of MAGA about the Ukraine war. They appear to believe that Zelensky just has to tell his troops to put their weapons down and the fighting will stop. MAGA doesn’t seem to understand that Russia is the country that needs to stop.

He’s going to end regulation and start a trade war and somehow farmers are going to sell only to the US?

The Dems need to demand evidence. Social Security would have a check, an address, a name and information. Where are all of these facts? MAGA doesn’t need facts but everyone else sure would like to see evidence!

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

Some deal maker. Zelensky is not some poor tenant living in a Trump dump.
