Today is the one year anniversary of the passing of my Dad Eduardo Duran. Here he is as a young father with him 4 kids. I am on the right. I love my Dad and miss him terribly. He has been showing up in dreams the past few days. Tinge of sadness. Overwhelming joy and gratitude

I voted YES on Prop 50 to counter balance felon 47’s attempt to rig the 2026 election. If you’re a California voter - have you voted yet ?

Texas Natl Guard arrives in Chicago. For the deep dish pizza I guess. Better hide ‘em from Hegseth. He’s gonna bust a gut!

Wondering out loud if Pete Hegseth demand to lose all beards applies to Speaker of the House? Just sayin …..

Trump: “We got a lot of stupid people in this country running things ….”

Ya think so Orange Mildred?

Dude. Again. You’re the government. Having grievances against oneself is the highest form of self deception and stupidity …. #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace #TrumpEpsteinFiles #TrumpTariffs

Careful all. Take steps back. Keep head level and heart open. The tension on this could escalate as blame is raised. Knives are out. Be the light in a world of shadow

Job 18:11-15
“All around terrors frighten him,
And harry him at every step.
“His strength is famished,
And calamity is ready at his side.
“His skin is devoured by disease,
The firstborn of death devours his limbs.

Marriage and Supreme Court ? To clarify - Kentucky clerk Kim Davis has petitioned the court for review. It takes 4 justices to grant review. I can count two - Alito and Thomas. Don’t think Roberts or Gorsuch want to overturn precedent. Don’t think Kavanaugh and Barrett have the stomach 4 it
