I recently reconnected with 1977 me…an important step in my journey. A recent pilgrimage took me back to the island and the vibe I need.
It’s the music, the vibe, and the continuing experiences for me.

I’m thankful for the people I have in my life, those chosen family that matter and to whom I mean something.

16 miles on Gulf Blvd., a few moments on the water, and my current state.

“Her failure on those scores is her one service to the country—because it helps other Americans, the joke’s ultimate victims, better understand what is happening to them and why.”

you need to understand, everyone’s in on the grift…that’s why the rules have to change
MGT has seen her networth jump from $700k to $25 million since joining Congress in 2021. And she served juuust long enough to get a lifetime tax payer-funded pension.

She got the joke.

well, that’ll either end or ramp up the family fun on Thanksgiving day…
Ferreira's sister, Graziela Rodrigues, has started a GFM to raise money to fight the ICE charges and allow Bruna to remain in Boston. It has now raised over $14K of a $30K target.

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?

Just spitballing here…how about we treat those who are addicted instead of ostracizing them for both choices and their illness that facilitate those horrid choices?
You know what a national security threat is in this country

THE DEMAND FOR DRUGS. We need to fix that to fix the drug problems. NO DEMAND = NO SUPPLY.

It’s not hard

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.

We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.

We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

Life Hack:
set your exercise app (whether you use it or not) to remind you to move X number of times a day (based on your needs, obviously…mine is 32) It’s a great reminder to spark.

Were they led by one of the newly minted corporate cosplayers?
DOD contractors “mistakenly” landed on a Mexican beach, declared it US property and planted “restricted area” DOD signs, triggering a tense confrontation with armed Mexican forces.

Mexico removed the signs, insisting the area is theirs.

Yet another example of total incompetence.
