Every candidate pledging undying allegiance to Trump ought to answer for, to approve of or disavow, the ugliness he daily spews. At some point y’all, your political victory (which is far from certain) is rendered hollow, if not toxic.

A powerful, thoughtful column in the Times www.nytimes.com/2025/12/05/o...

What about the leading ladies? Ann-Margret was 52 & Sophia Loren was 61: Julia Roberts (57) Jennifer Aniston (56) Catherine Zeta-Jones (56) Marisa Tomei (60) Halle Berry (59) Nicole Kidman (57) Michelle Pfeiffer (66) Salma Hayek (59) Sandra Bullock (61) Naomi Watts (57) Kristen Wiig (52)

As I turn 45, I wondered if Grumpy Old Men were recast who’d be old enough to star in the two lead roles, and then my knees hurt: Tom Hanks - 68 Kurt Russell - 74 Harrison Ford - 83 Bill Murray - 74 Denzel Washington - 70 Bryan Cranston - 69 Jeff Bridges - 75 Michael Keaton - 73 Morgan Freeman - 88

I can’t fathom what it’s like having this kind of spare time. But I’m glad this family did so I can enjoy it vicariously.

Too far.

Tis the season of the relentless email blasts and “you left something in your cart” appeals.

Trump's words, once again, are inflammatory and dangerous. Most won't act on them, but in a nation as big as ours, there's obviously a non-zero number of people troubled enough, and inspired enough, to do so. Trump isn't the only one who does this, but his mic is the loudest.

Can we all agree this character is creepy looking?

I think its very bad for an elected leader to refuse to answer questions based on which credentialed media outlet is asking the questions, when the questions are not remotely unreasonable, and the tone isn't aggressive or impolite. We will long regret setting this standard.

Just incredible what Megyn Kelly thought about and said out loud. I cannot fathom trying to distinguish any of that conduct. It’s all awful.

Spotted with the naked eye over the farm in North Christian County about an hour ago. What a treat! #NorthernLights

I’m all for Christmas decorations going up in November, and Christmas music too. But I just saw an elf on the shelf post, and I think we’ve let things go too far.

My house had two sets of triplets hanging out today. Our boys, and a set of sisters that were born a few days later. They’ll hopefully be friends for life. Such a cool life we get to experience. Tough some days, but awfully special.

Think I will.

I apologize for this tweet. But my big kids think it’s funny.

Republicans must be, and do, better than this. www.courier-journal.com/story/opinio...

Sports betting is bad.

Apart from many of President Trump’s un-conservative policy positions to which I object, as a Christian I’m appalled that he posts stuff like this. This doesn’t exemplify the values of Jesus, and Christians shouldn’t associate with or enable it. Psalm 1:1

Holy smokes. Awful lot of people and institutions aren’t ready for this.

Today marks 19 years practicing law. Time flies!

I hope the hostages are all released and the peace holds.

I hope the Democrats, when they eventually return to power, will remember all this awfulness and desire to govern responsibly and respectfully, not cater to the whims of their most online fringes. But I doubt it. Which is one reason why I wish the GOP would set a better example.

Happy 16th anniversary to my wonderful, strong, brilliant, beautiful wife, Amanda! ❤️

The triplets just finished a tour as a show and tell exhibit for an older cousin’s biology class lecture. Things sure have changed here on Walton’s Mountain.

Nailed it.

My Monday starting out with somebody hitting reply all when they shouldn’t have.

Everyone should work to lower the temperature on their own side. Certainly online, but more importantly in person, at local gatherings and in one-on-one conversations, in text threads, with friends and peers. Hold one another to account.

Now, it’s fall.

That’ll preach

“Lawfare” for me, but not for thee. What a corrupt administration. Shame on all those embracing it, and those remaining silent about it who know and believe better.

Harsh.

Would be interesting to have seen the text threads inside Kenvue’s corporate HQ yesterday. And then those with legal.

I really need to be more careful when filling out the Kroger click list.

Forgiveness > Retribution. Forgiveness often feels harder in the beginning, and it denies us the fleeting, hollow pleasure of our enemies’ suffering. But the healing and restoration it works — within us and among us — knows almost no bounds.

Bondi once headlined a fundraiser for me. If I'd known then what is evident in her service to date, I wouldn't have asked. Such a disappointment.

I always think other people's photography looks better than mine. It's like some kind of imposter syndrome.

Spotted on Canal Street in Nola last week. Hope they had a great day :)

Kentucky’s shared parenting law from 2017 getting some national coverage @wsj.com apple.news/AsY2o3JV5S9K...

This does not reliably hold true on I-24, I-40, or I-65.

A whole whole whole lot more of this. Sustained indefinitely.

I’m deeply troubled about the path our nation is clearly on. Too many voices belittle, dehumanize others, if not call for violence outright. It follows that violence is what we far too often see. Counting on all voices to stop stoking division before the flames consume us.
