So true.

Before WW2, WW1 was called the Great War. I wonder if we will soon be calling The Civil War CW1. And, no, that’s not a C&W music station.

Hopefully he won’t be living in Obama’s shadow much longer.

I am pretty sure you are right.

So proud.

Thank you Rep. Clark. Proud to have you as my representative.

That's the point of getting up early. I do it every day-- I keep getting up before my coffee.

Reminds me of the quotation after Yogi Berra was hit on the head: "X-rays of his head were taken and they showed nothing."

Scalise must be demented too.

Scalise: "If Nobel wants to restore what used to be a once dignified prize, they can restore their credibility by awarding President Trump the Nobel Peace Prize. He's earned it."

“This is a movement…This is an achievement of a whole society…I am just one person.”

Can you just hear those words coming out of the mouth of DJT?

“This is a movement…This is an achievement of a whole society…I am just one person.”

The beautiful humility of Venezuelan pro-democracy leader, Maria Corina Machado, the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize recipient.

Good morning Heidi and friends. Great song, great message. Love you all. Have a great day, and a great weekend.

We are all headed to Maine for a long weekend of fun, foliage (if there is any), and fnwork. Tis the season. Enjoy!!

The exact words DJT would have said if he won.

Good morning Dani. You are so right. I have actually said that to former friends in response to their using it when I criticize him.

Hope your day is better than his.

Imagine being a health professional having to hear that the end of HHS is citing a friggin Tik Tok video, let alone citing it to the president. Ship of Fools.

RFK Jr: "Somebody showed me a TikTok video of a pregnant woman at 8 months pregnant -- she's an associate professor at the Columbia Medical School -- and she is saying 'F Trump' and gobbling Tylenol with her baby in her placenta. The level of Trump Derangement Syndrome is now a pathology."

So do I. It’s been denied and Snopes says it isn’t true.

Don Isaacs @donisaacs.bsky.social · 1d

I was pulling your chain. You had told me it was prohibitively expensive. And I could imagine the cost of the paper and printing required to capture the sharpness of your pictures.

But they would make great coffee table books.

Good evening Lisa. Should I hold my breath waiting for those two e-books of automobile pictures to come out in hard copy?

And hopefully they’ll throw the book at Trump, Noem, and all the cabinet.
