When someone bombards you with talking points, reassure yourself (and anyone else who's around and has ears to hear) with truth.

If your spirits are low, or you could use some reassurance, Patrick Kearon's Conference talk last night was one of those rare gems that's well constructed, masterfully delivered, and exactly what I needed to hear when I needed to hear it. You can check it out here: youtu.be/0ztxXiDuHRg?...

Yes, tea towel. Yes.

CNBC: "Very disappointing. It's a weak number. This is private sector jobs for September. The total comes in -32,000. And that was a surprise because economists were looking for an increase of 51,000. Also, the revision was not good. August now showing -3,000 compared to the initial read of 54,000"

Down another 5 lbs in September. August average weight: 239.2 September average: 234.1

Trump folks are threatening violence against anyone who dare disagree with them.

Just to note. January 23, 2019 there was a vote to reopen government (HJ RES 28, roll call vote 46) when the govt had been shut down for 30 days. Mike Johnson voted “no” on that. They didn’t seem to mind shutdowns then

They're forum-shopping now. They know that, somewhere, they'll find toadies to go along with them. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/30/u...

Thoughts with my friends in The Church of Jesus Christ ofbLatter-day Saints, as they mourn the passing of their president-prophet Russell M. Nelson. He was a man of love, peace, vision, and determination. He made the world a better place. I know he will be missed. www.sltrib.com/religion/202...

You wanna see "real America"? Take a drive in the commercial district at 0530 and watch the people up in their shops getting ready for the day. I especially like watching at bakeries and restaurants. These people are underslept to brings us sustenance and, even, joy. God bless them.

If you're ever watching a love story and wondering whether it's based on a true story, look to see if it features a couple with a healthy relationship that has an agreement that when one cooks the other does clean-up. If it does, you automatically know it's a work of complete fiction.

This 2019 article showed how the GOP was further right than the right wing of most Western democracies. But, look at the values labels on the charts and plot where you'd place the GOP today. It's taken a shocking leap to the right during Trumpism. It's Republicans who have become "radical."

Got my annual flu shot and my COVID booster this week. Blessed to live in Virginia, which still has science-based health officials.

The Trump administration is shoveling your hard-paid tax money into the pockets of his friends and cronies. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/19/u...

LOL. Judge tells Trump, more or less, "the courts aren't here for your PR." www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

If my repeating someone's own words make you think I'm slandering them, then your quarrel's really not with me.

When you feel the impression to reach out to someone, if just to say hi and see how they're doing, I hope you'll do it. Don't delay.

After a school shooting, Republicans say gun-control activists shouldn't "politicize" it. MEANWHILE, Trump has used Kirk's murder as justification to go after "leftist violence" despite the gunman still being at large and his identity unknown.

Went to a preview of the final Downtown Abbey Movie and it's great! Will be seeing it again on Saturday.

"Never Forget" the Republicans' criminal ineptitude and hubris that allowed the largest attack on American soil in our history. And this, despite the Clinton Administration briefing the incoming Bush people that Al Qaeda posed a huge threat to the U.S. and had been planning an attack for months.
