After reading recent news and Heather's letter, I could see that our our nails are rusting and our house is infested with termites.

These termites are becoming very destructive.
Our agreement are the nails holding the frame together. These agreements are what keeps the house standing and protecting us, its citizens, who live inside and depend upon the house for safety and order.
As I envisioned the United States as a house, I saw that the Constitution is the foundation of our house. The concept of the rule of law, democracy, and system of laws and traditions built upon that foundation are the framework that are the bones of our house.
As I listened to Heather Cox Richardson's "Letters from an American" - October 16, 2025 on Substack, I got the impression of our grand nation as a large, beautiful but aging mansion of a house; our home.
I had about 4 of those bags for years. I finally consolidated everything into 1 bag, and removed all unnecessary duplicate cables, especially USB Micro and Mini cords. USB C have multiple uses so I have more than 1 of them.
I'm a big fan of your dad. I love to hang out with him in Ocean Springs when I can get there in my van, a tiny home on wheels.

oh! I like this bit where the leader is stripped of power between impeachment and conviction. That could be helpful to add to our impeachment process. Via AP: apnews.com/article/sout...
