Today is my father's birthday. If he was still alive he would be 102 years old. I have been missing him every day for the last 33 years. Thank you for everything, Daddy. You always had my back. You are why I am able to be strong and brave and honorable. You showed me how it's done.

Blad to hear Rachel is coming back. She and Lawrence are always worth watching.

I just love Scotland so much. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Recently took a peek at Twitter and the disinformation is getting substantially more dangerous. Someone could get killed.

The tactics of constantly repeating outright lies, targeting specific people, repurposing years-old footage and presenting them as new is getting to another level. It’s scary.

I love eggnog with a shot of Woodford Reserve in it. So good.

I'm waiting for him to order the next Trail of Tears or The Long Walk.

So the guy, Billy Long, that Trump picked to run the IRS made a crap ton of money encouraging small businesses to commit tax fraud by wrongfully applying for the employee retention tax credit from the pandemic.
