Don’t we already know where it’s going? Most of us just don’t want to admit it yet.

I sure hope not.

My 20 month old daughter has developed fascinations with The Golden Girls, Green Day, and McDonald’s dipping sauces (not to eat, she likes the size). The next 20 years are going to be interesting.

Had a great event yesterday at the Gun Hill Publick House in Brooklyn. 3 authors and an artist. Books were sold, books were signed, and fun was had by all. #author

Eating too much cake is the sin of gluttony. However, eating too much pie is okay because the sin of pi is always zero.

What else is going on…… Oh, I made party sandwiches by baking focaccia in a bundt pan.

Two large, bundt-shaped sandwiches on a cutting board, with cropped people behind it. One sandwich is veggie, with roasted eggplant and peppers, arugula, hazelnut hummus, basil, half of it with cheese; the other is an Italian sandwich with mortadella, soppressata, provolone, mozzarella, giardiniera, arugula.

Not with that attitude he won’t.
Look, I get it. It seems easiest to be defeated.
But I have to believe someone out there is still willing to fight.
But do what you need to do to get by. Genuinely mean that.
Have a good night.

Sigh.

Could’ve had
$25,000 to buy a house
$6,000 child credit
$50,000 business credit

But you went for the $1200 check that’s never happening. And now prices are going to go up $3000/year from tariffs alone, with no stimulus checks in sight.

Thrilled that this will reach a wider audience now. It was a night like no other. Hope you’ll tune in. (FYI- I play a very very bad man.)

If the legacy media was doing its job and not sucking up to Trump, this would be a national scandal.
