Had a good run as a reporter for Lebanon (PA) Daily News until a hedge fund killed it; now sub-teacher at a votech; Philly sports (Arsenal, tennis, cycling too), music (jam bands), pets & politics as mood strikes. It’s always better with a song.

Here’s the list. And here are several of their CEO’s sitting with Trump at his inauguration.

Here’s the list. Of course, several of their CEOs were sitting behind Trump at his Inauguration.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

And fundraise

I’m surprised someone hasn’t and my biggest fear is, someone will bring an AR-15 to one of these ICE Parties and let their anger and frustration out.

It’s all the fuckers will need to drop the Insurrection Act. And that really will trigger a violent response.

The conversation should start with, where are their rushing yards and TDs.

I remember all the talk about him because of the Bowling Green connection.

Arroyo not doing much yet in Seattle but also was a top prospect.

That’s a decent DL the Giants have.

That surprised me.

We thought the same about Ertz but Howie had a plan. I think we draft a top rated TE or trade for one (Mayer?) and keep Goedert another year.

But Howie did not have a plan this year. If we had let Goedert go, which was a real possibility, we would be screwed.

Best #37 since Tom Woodeshick. Use that before Roob does.

Angus: Canada is reconsidering that relationship with China. Why? Because we can no longer trust the US.

And we know that we have 150, maybe more, Canadians in custody at ICE detention centers. We had two Canadians under Chinese custody and it caused a huge outcry. We now have over 150 in the US.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

Fascism does not break normal life, it feeds on it.
