Humm… Bonds of Brothers? “Dick Cheney became a Republican, but he knew that bonds of party must always yield to the single bond we share as Americans. For him, a choice between defense of the Constitution and defense of your political party was no choice at all.”

Morning Joe is my go-to morning show after Way Too Early with Ali Vatali. A cup of Joe and I’m in heaven. But watching Joe’s repetitive remarks in slow-mo is excruciating—it’s like I tuned into ApplesTV, Slow Horses? What? Full Disclaimer: I’m on Cold Pills (GRIN)

Humans and AI should work together to enhance efficiency and effectiveness. This partnership allows both to complement each other, rather than one replacing the other. It's a step in the right direction! 👍

Thank you for sharing Darlene… I’d like to share this with you, as well. I keep a journal that helps me with my dyslexia affliction. “There are so many beautiful burning questions in our life that far exceed the pettiness of all around us….”—William Shatner, on Morning Joe

1/6 A lot can be said on how one is compensated… Karoline Leavitt, the current White House Press Secretary, has an estimated annual salary of $195,200. Additionally, her overall income, which includes other earnings and investments, is estimated to be around $1.5 million annually.

Humm… youtu.be/_HiOZ7JXA64?...

1/ In the banking IT sector, when facing a formal escalation process, every manager's influence is critical. I reported to my WFB IT CFO. He controlled my bonus (Hahaha)

1/7 I stay focused on my area of expertise…. IT Communications is my universal language. However, it seems like Trump and his administration are managing things from a distance, without a clear understanding of the situation on the ground.

Under this Administration’s “Moral Rot” are sheer grounds for every “Moral Emboldened Official” to stand up and be counted.—“Strengthen in Numbers…”

Political Consequences… A Supreme Court ruling could significantly affect Trump’s political future, including potential eligibility for office or legal penalties. It goes without saying, the whole lot should go down with Trump—BWDIK

1/3 Happy Birthday Mr. President… Integrity vs Dignity. There is a difference between integrity and dignity although both are very admirable qualities.

1/8 Rockaway Beach, Pacifica, CA, my old fishing ground. Tide has a lot to do with surf fishing—basically, low tide that I love to walk out as the waves recede & high tides that mesmerize its awesome fierce waves of menacing force that slams the shores... Soul Surfing 👍

Enjoy your day… "Our life is short, our days run as fast away as does the sun ... as a vapor of a drop of rain and once lost, it can never be found again".—Robert Herrick

Mm… Did you know it actually takes more muscles to smile than to frown. With all seriousness, it takes 50 muscles to make a frown — but only 13 to produce a smile. Everything comes with a price...! Ice cream truck music is called the, “Little Brown Jug”…

"In recent years I had made a startling discovery, that when your going nowhere anyway, there's no real hurry to get there.”—John Dunning, The Sign Of The Book

Yep… The slings, arrows and tribulations from choices we make in life takes its toll as we journey into our golden years with aging bones. (TOOTHLESS SMILE)

1/3 RE: Rebranding of MSNBC to MS NOW While Comcast's restructuring of MSNBC may not guarantee immunity from government lawsuits regarding its political opinions, it does provide a more robust framework for addressing legal challenges. #WWIIBoomer www.businessinsider.com/msnbc-preps-...

Nuts…!

1/2 While I’m glad SNAP funding is back, laid-off workers will be reinstated, and military and airline security staff will receive back pay for lost wages, this isn’t what voters expected after the recent Democratic victories. #WWIIBoomer #EPluribusUnum www.cbsnews.com/live-updates...

1/2 The San Francisco Presidio Memorial Cemetery is the final resting place for approximately 30,000 individuals, primarily military personnel and their families. Mom and Dad rest there together. They are buried at the entrance of the gate with a beautiful view of the bay. #EPluribusUnum

1/3 I'm really sorry to hear about your experience; it’s incredibly frustrating to face such situation. I recently went through a similar ordeal where my account was suspended due to suspicious activities.

Humm… Governor Gavin Newsom radiates positivity like sunlight in a storm—just what America needs!

1/3 When you provoke the bear with Gestapo-like tactics disguised as immigration policy, deny meals to those in need & raise health insurance premiums to secure tax exemptions for the wealthiest & corporations, you’re not just poking the bear—you’re also clipping the wings of the American Eagle.

KUDOS… Jen Psaki has gained recognition for clarity & articulate messaging, which resonates with the American people. I strongly feel her keen observations & strong retention of key issues contribute significantly to her abilities, enabling her to bring meaning & truth to the challenges we face.

1/ Drawing from my own experience in the corporate world, I’ve observed how Walmart operates with remarkable efficiency, utilizing technology to streamline its business practices. #WWIIBoomer #EPluribusUnum

1/5 Each state possesses its own distinctive identity, reflecting the diverse characteristics of its constituents. #WWIIBoomer #EPluribusUnum

1/5 There comes a time when we all ask, "When is it enough?" Yesterday, voters stood up and made their voices heard with a clear message against Trump, resulting in a complete Democratic sweep. #WWIIBoomer #EPluribusUnum

1/5 There’s a lot of excitement among Democrats right now. But let's not overlook who stood against Trump and won! Sadly, as of November 2025, President Joe Biden is currently receiving treatment for prostate cancer, having been diagnosed earlier this year. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

1/3 JMHO… Sharing the failures of your opponent can be a powerful way to demonstrate your strength, essentially using strength against strength.

1/3 Hello Pamela in CA, The claim that Blackburn voted for the largest cut to SNAP does not hold valid based on the available records. Her current initiatives stress the importance of preserving SNAP benefits rather than implementing cuts.

1/5 Before these initiatives can be done, Democrats need to win the majority… Democrats are not making an effort to connect with Southern Republican states, and that’s a reality. #WWIIBoomer #EPluribusUnum

1/5 Democrats are not making an effort to connect with Southern Republican states, and that’s a reality. For the upcoming 2026 Congressional Elections, it’s more important than ever to have teams of technicians for small-town town hall meetings. #WWIIBoomer #EPluribusUnum

1/ Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' Vanity asks the question, 'Is it popular?'

1/5 Why Trump’s Lame Duck Phase Faces Major Constraints with a Democratic Congress and Senate Majority #WWIIBoomer #EPluribusUnum www.rawstory.com/trump-failur...

1/7 It’s disgraceful to see that corporations—specifically banks; i.e., JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America & others—along with major technology companies like Microsoft, Oracle, Apple, Amazon & retail giants like Walmart & Target, are failing to support individuals in need during—government shutdown.

California is deploying the California National Guard to quickly assist families whose federal food benefits are halted because of Donald Trump's government shutdown. We won't let the GOP's cruel inaction force millions of Californians to go hungry.

1/3 Indeed, thought provoking… Their sponsorship in education is becoming increasingly evident. As an early IBM technologist with years of experience, I understand that AI operates by processing user inputs and transforming questions or commands into actionable sequences.

1/3 AI technology can play a pivotal role in documenting legal offenses attributed to individuals such as Donald Trump, while also enhancing collaboration in broader research efforts. #WWIIBoomer #EPluribusUnum www.nytimes.com/2025/10/21/u...

Yes Ma’am.. Brings to mind my Dad giving me a spanking while saying, “I'm sorry, you're sorry, and everybody's sorry—but the fact remains” I sorrily miss Dad…

I'm proud to help lead the United Nations' #COP30 Local Leaders Forum next month in Brazil. Regional leaders — from mayors to governors — are uniquely able to turn ambitious plans to tackle the climate crisis into reality at the local level. California is all-hands-on-deck in this fight.
