But Kennedy's proclamation that circumcision causes autism motivated me to make a doctors appointment to get tested. Thanks RFK!!

Instead of saying ‘loosening labor market,’ why not just say ‘lower demand for workers’? It’s clearer and people actually know what it means.

Focus on the young beginning readers. Parents are looking and when you start them young they continue to read.

Fanfare Ciocărlia is a 12-piece (!) brass band from Romania. Though they’ve been active since 1996, and while their village is noted locally for its musicians, none consider themselves to be professionals. You be the judge.

Good morning, beautiful.

Taking a pottery class this week — I’ll be lucky if what I make ends up round and upright! Nowhere near the level of this Greek vase… but a person can dream.

Arkansas, I'm proud to announce I am running for Congress in the 2nd District. For too long, politicians have played photo-op bingo and left working families trying to make a dollar out of fifteen cents. That ends today. I'm building the Next Arkansas where no one is left behind.

Went down a rabbit hole today of the Pope Co Militia War in AR. What got me was the feeling that we are living through something similar today. An attempt by local leaders to have martial law implemented by the use of a false flag operation to influence an election to coverup political embezzlement.

I pray that this deal does stop the Gaza War but I am not going to hold my breath. Trump is involved and everything he touches turns to s&$t.

My 15 year old granddaughter called me and told me her Christmas wish. Don't think I can help and her mother said "Absolutely Not". But I really would like to come up with something related and fun. And what did she want ... a date of course.

So when do we actually see evidence of the Guard protecting citizens exercising their free speech?

Unfortunately the so called bail out will mostly go to the big industrial farms with political connections and the leftovers will go to the small farmer who needs it the most.

They have not tweaked the program enough to make sure that large industrial farms get a lion share of the pie.

It is also time to start identifying the Guard, ICE, DEA, ATF, CBP, FBI & US Marshal commanders/officers giving direct orders to those on the streets in our cities abusing our citizens. No doxing just build a list for the future. Time for Accountability.

Can't blame federal works to call in sick. If anyone should be frightened it should be Trump and his MAGA followers.
