I don't get nearly enough credit for the things I manage not to say. Created the 1st BPA-Free water bottle. Starting a new co. to continue the fight against plastics & climate change. 'X' Refugee. Buddhist. It's not too late to save the planet.

This was my first company - KID BASIX. We created the world's first 'BPA-Free' branded reusable water bottle. I was one of the parent activists who led the fight to get BPA banned from drink ware worldwide.

Now, I'm starting my next company. Stay tuned!

Especially in these dark times, it’s important to salute courageous individuals who stand up to Trump’s tyranny. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/this-weeks-joseph-welch-award-for

There is no question about it: Alito, Thomas, Roberts, and the three Trump Supreme Court appointees are all GOP partisan hacks.

Pass term limits. Expand the court. Enact an enforceable code of ethics.

We must keep pushing Democrats to enact court reform.

Listening to Pam Bondi speak to the press is like listening to someone running for Class President of her high school - Junior year.
December 4, 2025 at 6:53 PM
And "This Is a Conspiracy" Bongino references "Judge Judy" for her help!

American government as reality TV show at its finest.
December 4, 2025 at 6:48 PM
As usual, Bondi and Patel politicize the announcement of the arrest. Rather than talking about the investigation itself, they choose to blame the Biden Administration while getting on their knees in front the Orange Cheeto King.

If Trump tries to fight this, Costco will just open a 36 pack of Kirkland brand whoopass on him.
New in PN: Costco demands a refund from Trump

"One of the biggest importers in the country has entered the fray, at the risk of finding itself crosswise with the Trump administration. This is what happens when you let the president break the law for a little while."

It’s laughable witnessing these yearly railings against some imaginary conspiracy and being told we need to “keep Christ in Christmas,” by people who don’t seem the slightest bit interested in keeping Christ in their Christianity the rest of the year.

'Happy Holidays' isn't an Insult to Jesus, But Christians Who Weaponize Christmas are.

"We don't follow stupid rules of engagement." - Pete Hegseth

The GOP unified front is finally splintering, as Trump's lawlessness - and the people who have sworn fialty to him - divides the party.

Watched Sunday Night Football on a Canadian network feed tonight. Beyond the crazy great OT win by Denver, two things stood out:

1. Canadian commercials are better than U.S. ads...and NO pharma ads.

2. One of the announcers on Sports Centre [sic] post game had a mullet. Inexcusable.

To win the midterms, we must consistently remind our followers that Trump is a P3RVRT - UNTIL - & BEYOND - release of the Epstein files.

HOW? Use the nickname EPSTEIN-BESTIE Trump. Just replace "President" with this nickname EVERY DAY on the first instance of his name in EVERY post, video, etc.
