I didn’t get my first college degree until age 39. Prior to that, I played guitar on the road for a so-called living. Busking.BGladd.com.

I got my MA at age 52, at UNLV. THAT diploma authorizes me to park in handicap spaces. 🤣 Just an old coot now. BGladd.com/NYIrish.jpg

Is it just me, or does it seem the press is actually and completely terrified to report about Donald Trump's physical and mental health the way it would have if anyone else were president?

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?

The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.

At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.
