Hello John Fugelsang… I admire your cleverness. I thought I’d share a fascinating instrumental performance by Isaac Hayes from The David Frost Show as a tribute to your wit… (SMILE) #DJ.Boomer youtu.be/H91KUSQeFm4?...

1/2 Mmm… This is not “another kajillion piece” for the sake of scolding Democrats—it is a fact-based warning about voter anger, institutional failure, and what is required to stop Trump’s agenda lawfully.

1/8 Anger must count… This piece matters because it names what so many people already feel: the country’s exhausted, angry, and fed up with rising costs, corruption, failing institutions, and the daily grind of instability. The public is not looking for polished… www.rawstory.com/raw-investig...

1/8 One dog—One lie… This story matters because it shows how a single absurd case can be twisted into a public scare campaign. A woman in Orange County illegally registered her dog, Maya, and cast a ballot in the dog’s name in the 2021 recall election. www.sfchronicle.com/politics/art...

Thank you, “SkipnZip” for sharing… (SMILE) Agreed; it’s not isolated, it’s part of a broader culture that keeps rewarding cruelty and aggression.

Hey Lawrence… love your “AI-generated PowerPoint-style in looping clip-art animation.”—Very clever! (SMILE) More importantly, it shows how a few well-chosen words can paint a vivid picture of the atrocities tied to Trump-enabled by his cohorts & enablers. Great job! CU on the other side… (GRINN)

1/4 Protect people first… This NPR report matters because it shows, in human terms, what happens when government systems fail the people they are supposed to protect. What looks like an IT error on paper can mean missed medication, delayed treatment, and real danger… www.npr.org/2026/07/20/n...

1/3 Humm… I’ll spare you my longer threads, though every word culminate into core values. So let me end with Prof. Reich’s closing lines: “In the Trump manosphere, violence is seen as a sign of virility. When that virility is challenged, the automatic… robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-kil...

1/12 Follow the money… Foreign nationals cannot legally spend directly in U.S. elections. But there is still a glaring back door: U.S.—registered corporations with meaningful foreign ownership can help flood our politics with money. That is not a… newsletter.peoplepowerunited.org/p/get-foreig...

Mm-Mmm… This is for my Little Sis, who’s celebrating their 41st marriage anniversary (Yay..!) Congrats — (SMILE) #DJ.Boomer youtube.com/watch?v=0GaK...

What I miss most… Ethan Gontar’s—What if "Take Me Home, Country Roads" were an Irish Folk song? Resonate more today when John Denver sang his country song that hits deep into ones’ soul… Yes, I remember when our country was open to more than today—in less… #DJ.Boomer youtube.com/watch?v=acRJ...

Yep… Lawrence, like father, like son. Both you and your dad share an unwavering fidelity, and I deeply respect your resistance to Trump, his cohorts, and his enablers. Our fight will not end until Trump is out of office and held accountable. As always, keeping the faith—(GRINN)

One of my Fav—2Cellos… From Maribor, Slovenia, and Pula, Croatia, 2CELLOS … Their celebrated worldwide and especially embraced across Europe and the U.S. — I bring you, “Eye of the Tiger” with fierce drive, electric flair, and signature crossover fire #DJ.Boomer music.youtube.com/watch?v=l8Kp...

1/2 Thank you, AuroraBorealisss… Where the Sun collides with Earth's magnetic field—pure magical…(SMILE) If you loved this, From Tashkent, Uzbekistan, Lola Astanova brings “Passacaglia” with lovely tenderness, passionate sweep, and the breathtaking brilliance that makes her artistry unforgettable

1/2 From Italy, where his artistry is most deeply rooted, Virginio Aiello brings “Van Gogh” on piano with reflective beauty, quiet passion, and the kind of emotional color worthy of its name #DJ.Boomer youtube.com/watch?v=l-fx...

From Tashkent, Uzbekistan, child prodigy Lola Astanova brings “Mariage d’Amour” with extraordinary brilliance and elegance. A beauty felt not only in her presence, but in the stunning strength of her piano artistry… (SMILE) #DJ.Boomer youtube.com/watch?v=6nme...

Lovely… From Genoa, Italy, GnuS Cello brings “Numb (For Cello and Piano)” with haunting elegance, deep emotion, and the bold artistry Italy is known for. #DJ.Boomer youtube.com/watch?v=EI8R...

Ahh-Yes… Innovating—Maribor, Slovenia, and Pula, Croatia, 2CELLOS bring “I Don’t Care” with fire, elegance, and the kind of cinematic edge only they can deliver… (SMILE) #DJ.Boomer youtube.com/watch?v=ifq-...

Simply Beautiful… From Northern California near Los Molinos, Laura Sullivan’s “Wishing on a Dandelion” drifts in with gentle grace, soft wonder, and the kind of peace that feels like a quiet wish carried on flowing winds… (SMILE) #DJ.Boomer music.youtube.com/watch?v=aVSQ...

Exquisite… From Western Springs, Illinois, Taylor Davis brings an incredible violin rendition of “Rewrite the Stars” … A sweeping, graceful, and full of cinematic heart. #DJ.Boomer youtube.com/watch?v=-Vs5...

Hey… That’s great—your blood is rising and the competitive nature in you has brought the ole youth back from your earlier days as a Major Leaguer (SMILE) youtu.be/bsBZIkSXHe0?...

1/5 Competition Changes Everything… IMO, the real story is not the spin. It is that AI is now a real global competition, and that changes the market. Moonshot’s Kimi K3 and Alibaba’s latest models matter because they suggest Chinese firms are no longer… www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

That’s nice, playing with your grandson. UNO—No pain, no gain? Welp, in your instance, pain is all the gain, buddy—(SMILE)

Humm… Clouds and muggy air start the week in the Bay Area, with light rain most likely in the North Bay and hills, coastal drizzle possible… Makes Karen Carpenter ideal in her “Rainy Days & Mondays” performance exquisite — (SMILE) #DJ.Boomer youtube.com/watch?v=H54N...

1/8 Chaos Has a Cost… Money-market funds do not panic easily. When managers overseeing nearly $8 trillion start hugging the shortest, safest holdings they can find, that says something. They are not chasing excitement. They are bracing for uncertainty. www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Absolutely, Amy Résistance... (SMILE) Trump is a loose cannon — a risk to our country and, for that matter, the world. He must be removed and held accountable. Thank you for sharing.

1/7 Here’s the irony… We spend so much time talking about how broken & uneven state-run elections are—& yes, they have real problems and plenty of room for improvement—that we sometimes miss the one thing that system is doing right. It’s getting in Trump’s way. www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-elec...

1/7 Proof Still Matters… In my view; this is why good news matters, not because it lets us relax, but because it reminds us that resistance still works. Too much of the country is living under the weight of Trump, his enablers, and the steady… newsletter.peoplepowerunited.org/p/good-news-...

1/7 Last Straw Here… IMO, Prof Reich’s article gets to the heart of the danger. Trump may no longer have a good option on Iran, only a choice between bad ones. I’m writing this because Reich’s warning deserves a plainspoken conclusion. robertreich.substack.com/p/office-hou...

Thank you Fancy… A Big and Warmest Smile—!

1/2 Hello Bailey G. Albreit… (SMILE) RE: The ole adage of glass half empty or half full, there is a third point of view beyond “glass half full” or “glass half empty.” The glass is simply at its midpoint, and the real question is not how you label it, but what you intend to do about it.

Get your rest, buddy—we’ve got a long, winding road to the midterms, and after that, who the heck knows… (SMILE)

1/6 Hey Lawerence… I did some research and although it’s yet to be determined (TBD) here’s my evaluation: Quiet Work Matters… Darline Graham enters the Senate without a long political résumé, but not without substance. Her record is in disability services, employment, and public systems—the kind…

1/10 Perhaps presumptuous — “No Time to Drift” … If Democrats win both the House and Senate in a major midterm upset, the win will mean little unless they are ready to govern on day one. The danger is not only Trump. It is delay. Too often, a new majority burns time acclimating new members,

Sorry, LOFI BGM… I deleted my post because I thought it was too presumptuous—WDYT? Should I repost?

1/6 Don’t call this care… House Republicans tried to sell a veterans bill as a win. Instead, it collapsed under the weight of its own priorities. Yes, the bill included the Major Richard Star Act, a long-overdue measure to raise retirement pay for… www.rawstory.com/raw-investig...

That skepticism is earned. Congress has done far more to enable than restrain, which is exactly why the burden shifts back to voters.

Mmm-Mm… Axel de Chevron Villette’s, “Desert Lantern Dream” — Is a soft, elegant meditation on release, stillness, and surrender, where worry fades, old hurts melt into silence, and the heart is left floating free in the hush of the moment. #DJ.Boomer music.youtube.com/watch?v=CtT8...

Exactly… Nixon made plenty of lawyers radioactive: * John Dean was disbarred after pleading guilty to obstruction, * John Ehrlichman was disbarred after his conviction, and * John Mitchell — Nixon’s former attorney general — went to prison for his role in Watergate. That stain lasted for years.

1/6 Here’s the tell… Trump has survived for years on one simple formula: do everything out in the open, then do so much of it that the public can’t keep up. By the time people focus on one outrage, three more have already pushed it off the stage. www.rawstory.com/raw-investig...

1/8 Courts Drew the Line… California’s attorney general, Rob Bonta—just secured a major ruling blocking the use of federal grant money as a weapon to force local governments into complying with an immigration agenda Congress never authorized. The court’s message was simple: a president cannot…

Mm-Mmm… Sure enough, “But It's Alright” by J. J. Jackson — Yep that head knodding, toe-tapping and that feel-good swaying. Yep, it’s alright…! (SMILE) #DJ.Boomer music.youtube.com/watch?v=ROHd...

Humm… The Supremes’ “Come See About Me” — for that unmistakable loneliness of longing for like-minded hearts and a little concord amid today’s political theater #DJ.Boomer music.youtube.com/watch?v=VYxJ...

Mm-Hmm… A sweet classic by Paul Anka’s “Put Your Head On My Shoulder.” (SMILE) #DJ.Boomer music.youtube.com/watch?v=kvaz...

Ahh-Yes… Now playing Bobby Vinton’s “There! I’ve Said It Again” — a timeless classic. #DJ.Boomer music.youtube.com/watch?v=0QOI...

Mm-Mmm… Listening to Bobby Vinton’s “Special Angel” reminds us that we all need a special angel to watch over us, guiding our hearts toward the path to ultimate heaven. #DJ.Boomer music.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYht...

Agreed—it bears repeating emphatically: “It cannot be said often enough.”

1/ Youth echoes forward… Rick Nelson’s “Teenage Idol” carries a quiet irony that only deepens with age. For those who have lived more than half a century, its lyrics still resonate — reminding us how self-image, #DJ.Boomer music.youtube.com/watch?v=npB3...

1/2 Love should lead in our convictions… Sam Cooke’s “Nothing Can Change This Love” makes me think not only of devotion, but of the love one should feel for country; honest, steady, and rooted in care for others. #DJ.Boomer youtube.com/watch?v=d3Tk...
