The human spirit is fueled by positivity and a good night’s sleep.

There will always be people with dreams of power and wealth who wrap themselves in god and country as a way to consolidate power. On one hand they feed the myth of “the American Dream” and on the other it’s “God and country.” Take your pick.

The Pope could have simply said, “… but I’m not in the Epstein files, let alone 100,000 times. But I can tell you which convicted felon is.” (I never thought I’d hear a Pope with better English than a president.)

Trump stopped his golf cart to meet a Bubbly Big Breasted Golfer at Mar a Lago and asked if she was a member, and told her she had a nice body three times… and then asked how her golf game was… and if he could give her a little tip.

I recommended Howard Zinn’s book, “A People’s History of the United States” to a friend, and prefaced my suggestion saying is not a big book. She texted me that it’s 709 pages!!! My response was, ‘you won Emmys for on-air news at ABC and NBC. Read the f-ing book.’

As is sometimes the case with news about our deeply disturbed president, it turns out that he didn’t get five deferments from a podiatrist. It was a psychiatrist. Proof that diction is very important.

We’ve got a massive buildup of aircraft carriers and hundreds of massive warships costing us hundreds of millions of dollars a week in addition to hundreds of jets and 50,000 servicemen. Who’s paying for it? Is this how you want your tax dollars spent?

Harry Truman refused to lend his name to any business, even in retirement. Richard Nixon so feared a brother might profit off their ties, he had his phone tapped. And George W. Bush dumped his individual stock holdings before taking office. President Donald Trump is taking a different approach.

We’ve got a massive buildup of aircraft carriers and hundreds of massive warships costing us hundreds of millions of dollars in addition to jets and 50,000 servicemen. Who’s paying for it? Is this how you want your tax dollars spent?

Tweedledee, Tweedledum, and TweedleDumber.

After watching The Pitt you can understand why there are the oscars & Emmys - because it takes talent and an enormous effort to make the show. But real doctors and nurses deserve so much more than a trophy.

Well win in 2028, but Just remember when it’s time to vote in 2032 that you don’t take Democrats for granted.

Best captions appreciated.

Pardon student loans and not your cabinet.

Best captions appreciated.

Very glad over 1,000 signatures on a letter to stop the sale of Warner Discovery - however it won’t be enough. MONOPOLIES are anti-capitalism in the guise of capitalism. Consumers pay for all acquisitions.

I’m still overwrought by the harm Trump did during the pandemic. I’m fortunate enough not to have lost anyone, but even if his callus malignant actions caused a dozen NEEDLESS deaths I’d be incensed. Who votes for someone who caused an additional 500,000 deaths? Why wasn’t this a campaign issue?

After Trump is gone, the removal of Trump’s stench on America should be a priority along with all remaining Confederate monuments. History books should accurately describe this period as when the worst in people was enabled but defeated. We’re so much better than this.

I believed the adoption of video games at home was a factor in reducing violent crime by youth because it displaced time spent on the streets with solitary time indoors. However statistics show the 1980’s as the time of real mass adoption of games but crime didn’t come down until decades later.

After Orban’s historic defeat (yeah!!!), at the White House, press secretary Karoline Leavitt offered no comment on the Hungarian election, but said that going forward Vance would now only participate in Cabinet meetings from a secret remote location because anyone Vance meets turns to dust.

Wars explicitly endorsed by Popes: 1st Crusade 1095 2nd Crusade 1145 3rd Crusade 1187 4th Crusade 1202 Albigensian Crusade 1209 Northern Crusades 12th–13th c. Crusade against the Ottoman Turks 15th c. Holy League vs Ottoman Empire 1571 Wars of the Reformation 16th c. Papal States Wars (various)

“Orbán’s defeat is a major blow to the MAGA belief that the right-wing forces opposing liberal democracy are the vanguard of an unstoppable movement blessed by God.” Some MAGA think tank made that garbage up and sold it the same way Jerry Falwell said the Bible prohibits abortion. God, this & that.

In Pakistan Talks, Iran Saw a U.S. Trying to Dictate, Not Negotiate. The Art of The Deal?

Trump now says gas prices might not drop by the midterms, underscoring the G.O.P.s peril. The Presidential Idiot has sent mixed messages on how long he expects costs to be high. Some in his party voiced fresh concern after his comments on Sunday. Which begs the question, “No Shit?”

Chinese companies dominate the manufacturing of nearly every component of a modern energy grid, including solar panels, high-voltage cables, transformers and batteries that store energy for later use. Everyone saw this coming - especially big oil. So they backed an idiot who sold us out.

Great winning Mr. Unpredictable. A cluster of Chinese firms is poised to win big from the energy crisis set off by the war in the Middle East, building on booming investment in artificial intelligence and alternative energy.

What do you do with the deviation and grief of war?

Referring to the fluffing President Trump gives Vladimir Putin, Trump said, “Any Iranian who fires at us, or at peaceful vessels, will (also) be BLOWN TO HELL!”

As Vance’s negotiations failed, the president stayed seated in Miami watching mixed martial arts fighting, his eyes trained on the men punching and kicking each other in a bloodstained cage.

On Dec 20, 1860, South Carolina lawmakers took their state out of the Union. Mississippi followed suit on Jan 9, 1861; Florida on Jan 10; Alabama on Jan 11; Georgia on Jan 19; Louisiana on Jan 26; and Texas on Feb 1. Virginia on May 23 - but broke into two states forming West Virginia.

If The Pitt teaches us anything, it not to take Trump to a qualified emergency room when he’s in distress.

They’ve done a great job making Homelander a Nazi.

The universe is not expanding too fast. It’s just trying to get the hell away from us.

Enough analysis on how we got here. It’s time to spend more time and energy getting the USS America repaired and back on track.

It’s not that all Republican Senators and Congressmen are required to rebuke Donald Trump, but just a few. Yet none have the spine. Not one. That’s how cowardly they are — all afraid to be the first — because Trump will deny their constituents funds and wage all out war against them.

States like California and Florida allow or require chemical castration (medication that reduces sexual drive) for certain repeat sex offenders. This is typically in addition to prison, and not a replacement. In Miami they convict Jewish boys within a few days after birth - without a trial.

Hillary Clinton beat Donald Trump in the popular vote by almost the entire population of Hungary, but lost the electoral college.

Tonight I watched several episodes of The Pitt and the last two episodes of The Boys from season 4 (to recap the storyline) and think I need a defibrillator to shock my heart back to a normal rhythm. Evidently I’m not getting a full nights sleep.

Melania's press conference is so contradictory to the facts and was designed to be another distraction. She might have simply lifted her skirt and said, "Here look."

30 Million views? Man... they need mental health services.

The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Caine, is grossly derelict in his duty to properly advise the President of the United States after Trump stated (very publicly) that he wants our military to commit genocide. He should resign in disgrace.

Trump took a shredder to the State Department - incapable understanding the importance of experienced competent diplomats and analysts. We've a bunch of real estate developers deciding the fate of the world instead of what color to paint the hallways.

Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson and the Christian Broadcasting Network sought out and enlisted disenfranchised, lonely White Christians souls - uniting them in a war against non-believers, non-whites and people of tolerance through empty promises of eternal salvation. It's corruption. It's insidious.

The enemies from within. Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson and the Christian Broadcasting Network sought out disenfranchised, lonely souls - uniting them in a war waged by White Christians against non-believers of all stripes, non-whites and people of tolerance. This is the result.

I never asked to see President Obama's birth certificate, but I do want to see close-ups of Melania Trump's wrists to check for scars.

The GOP is acting like Payday Lenders.

We have an infestation in local & national Houses of Representatives who are single minded about their jobs. They should be bettering people’s lives & not trying to sanitize America. They lie & plot to justify racial inequality & Christian purity. Please do your research & know your candidates.

MAGA sign vs. our version.

You have no idea how often I respond to people’s posts with the snarkiest, harshest comments but delete them before hitting send. I don’t want to insult anyone. Just know you’re missing some really awesome stuff — nothing like I post. Milk would come out of your nose even if you didn’t drink milk.

Jerry Falwell’s Silent Majority (a) was not the majority, (b) were not silent, (c) are still Neo-Nazis, (d) are evangelical Christians who have taken over the Republican Party, and (e) are all scared white nationalists.
