I was just waiting for them to clear so my daughter's transportation could get to the building to pick her up for school. I don't think I've ever seen that many police cats and officers in one spot without an arrest.

Watching out a window for the last 30 minutes... 9 police officers in 6 cars for what initially appeared to be a traffic stop of one man seems a bit excessive. He's gotten out of his car, he's been frisked... traffic is blocked, and now 2 officers entered the building. No cuffs or weapons.

@jlbaseball.bsky.social I like this. I like this a lot. www.mlb.com/news/guardia...

New York, if y'all want Chuck Schumer as one of your senators, that's your prerogative, but that man should not be Senate Minority Leader at day's end.

If the Senate Minority Leader can't hold his caucus together after being told to do exactly that by voters everywhere, his name must be Chuck Schumer. I am a hater, and I approve this message.

Schumer failed his test as Senate Minority leader. Again. As expected. For the promise of a vote? As if Republicans are to be trusted? They aren't. As if Republicans do the right thing? They don't, or we wouldn't be waiting to have a new rep-elect sworn in. Where did this trust come from?

Damn. RIP Lenny Wilkens. The best Cavaliers coach in my lifetime, a classy person, and a true legend. This Cavs fan mourns your passing.

I was told 11 days ago that my criticism of Schumer was tiring. Yet, here we are. Let me be clear about something, folks: I am an equal opportunity hater. If you are an elected and you don't do the right thing, I will hate on you. Do I hate on D's more? Yes. I expect better from them.

Holiday dessert plan version 1.0 Ice creams: pomegranate, egg nog, cinnamon, ginger, vanilla, cranberry, Mexican chocolate, and peanut butter. (choose 3) Sorbets: cranberry, chocolate. Cheesecake: flavor TBD (I can safely post this here, my relatives can't harass me here!) Voting is open!

I propose a new law: No taxes to be owed/collected for the period of time there is: 1: a federal shutdown 2: a congressional district goes without representation (affected district only) 3: any US entity currently with nonvoting representation (affected districts only). Who says no, and why?

A note of gratitude to our federal workforce who are toiling without pay while the Administration continues to inflict pain and suffering to squeeze more profits out of a broken healthcare sys on the backs of the sick and the poor. Thank you for your service and sacrifice. Pass it on.

This just in... Frank is still A LOSER. It's literally in his name.

In its quest to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education, the Trump administration wants to let states police themselves on educating students with disabilities, a move many teachers and parents fear will strip away crucial oversight ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/11/05/r...

You know what tonight proves more than anything else? Local elections matter. Local. Elections. Matter.

The idea that I can't criticize Democrats is ridiculous. I'm harder on Democrats, as I expect more from them. Every single Republican office holder I know of has met expectations. The difference is in what is expected. I always expect Republicans to sink lower and lower. They consistently do.

Every white person - please read this. We MUST fix this. #Justice is #JustUs - fixing this.

People are struggling right now. Some without work, some working without pay. As we hit day 30 of the government shutdown it's important to note what benefits may be dried up come Nov 1. If at all possible, even if it's just a can of peas or an hr of your time, give to your local community.

"I have a Temu arc reactor. My wish dot com arc reactor stopped working. As you can see, this is of poor quality." With that statement, my 9 year old has re-entered his Iron Man phase.

When people say their vote doesn't matter, do they mean that they never get what they voted for? Do they mean they never get what they voted for because politics is corrupt? Because both can be true. Ohioans voted for fair maps. Multiple times. Won. Still don't have. Both are true here.

All the skills I developed or enhanced during the days of lockdown are being used to help a dear friend who receives SNAP benefits. We talked about this and started planning for this back in January. Help where you can. Give when you can. It's up to us. Always has been.

🗳️ “As of Tuesday, #CuyahogaCounty has cast the most total early votes among #Ohio counties this early election cycle, but has cast the 10th most in-person ballots” “We need everyone to #vote. Because if only 50% of us vote, it's not an accurate vote … So please, everyone, it takes all of us” 🗳️

Dear Jeep, I saw your commercial. We are NOT buying your Jeep Wagoneer because you say it's the best vehicle to have sex in. And I am certainly not spending that kind of money on ANY automobile. Fuck all the way off.

Day 2 in The Great Dragon War, and he thinks he can find a way to solve ALL of my concerns and get his Dragon. He has informed me of his inability to give up. I have advised him of my ability to generate other concerns. He says that's not fair. I remind him I'm Vader. I'm not fair. He ❤️ this.

I find it interesting that almost every time I hear of a new boycott, it's already a place I didn't go to.

So, an NBA coach and a player were arrested in separate investigations for unrelated gambling related incidents. Me:

If you're not willing to engage your child on why they can't have a pet dragon, are you really doing anything? This was a fun morning getting the boy off to school. The winning exchange: "I'm not cleaning dragon pee and poop." "Me either, Daddy. You win this time..."

@malonespeaking.bsky.social, saw this on YouTube today. Scared my 9 year old because I was laughing so hard. youtu.be/Bqavq5pUC04?...

On a run of fantastic soups... making broccoli cheddar soup tonight... roasted red pepper soup tomorrow... and buffalo chicken soup Tuesday. Thinking about something with sweet potato for Wednesday...

It won't happen, but all the Cleveland media who were shitting on Joe Flacco owe that man an apology. Also, Andrew Berry needs to be relieved of duties. (I'm not one to call for a man to lose his job often.) Joe looks very competent to me.

Good grief! I'm now getting calls from AI when these calls would normally be from my doctors or my pharmacist or other health care professionals and I hate it. Also, the survey question: can I do anything better to improve our interaction of this call? Me: I despise AI. Be a real human.

My friends from the other place who are know well of my distaste for former senator Rob Portman. They also know I keep eyes on his various FEC accounts. He now has a new (to me) PAC name. PORTPAC. Cash on hand: $2,615,493.92. It is a non-qualified and unauthorized PAC.

I dislike John Fetterman.

It seems my instincts were absolutely right about Tim Ryan. Did not like or trust.

More of this! More of this! More of this!

This is wonderful! More messaging like this please Democrats!

Done! ✅ C'mon, Ohio! Speak up!

The Giants are not an elite defense, but when they absolutely had to make plays, they got an INT, and later a fumble. Both came in key spots. Do that, Browns defense. Do that.

I'm not saying this because I wanted Jaxson Dart in Cleveland, but the Giants are calling this game like they WANT Russell Wilson back as starter. I fear for his safety. Protect your QB from the defense, and from himself if need be. I fear Dart doesn't finish the year healthy or on the field.

Everything is connected US government cuts ➡ international public health ➡ US health security Climate change ➡ disease in new areas Air pollution ➡ long-term health But yes, let's slash foreign aid, ignore climate change, and gut EPA regulations. While pretending to care about Americans' health

My fellow Ohioans, we have our assignment. Let's do this!

Dinner tonight: A fresh batch of carrot soup and a ham sandwich. Not pictured: the hunk of chocolate cake for dessert.

The last line of the post is the ballgame. Removing checks and balances in a state already under one party rule... In a country already embracing fascism (and remember, if you're not fighting it, you're for it)... The OHGOP House Speaker is supporting fascism. I said what I said. Whole chest.

No #Guardsball, but need to taste summer... So cherry glazed St. Louis style ribs and potato salad is on the menu. This is gonna be a long offseason, isn't it?

I understand this. Please tell me you do, too.

Proud of my baseball team. They fought, they fought hard, they fought well, and they made history. And they fought until the end. And thus, closes the baseball season in my world. I will now be in mourning until spring training, as is custom. #GuardsBall

This is your reminder that the list of closers beaten at Jacobs/Progressive Field is lengthy. Time to add another to list. Jacobs Field Magic, established 1994. WE AIN'T DEAD YET!!! #GuardsBall
