I decided to close out the last 100 days of 2025 with a poem of reunion daily... connecting early days with now. Join me in this playful writing experiment! #amwriting #dailypoetry #amwriting open.substack.com/pub/juliejor...
New Month! November was great & not so effective with what I expected so... we have the option, always, to begin fresh. The sunrise this morning is looking to be beautiful. Always makes me happy to see... if you're having a tough time in this often seen as joyful season, you are welcome here.

Sen. Kelley is a highly decorated Naval aviator and astronaut.
Hegseth is a notorious drunk. He is most notable for his time as a weekend anchor on Fox.
Attempting to court martial Sen. Kelley will be a major embarrassment for Trump
Good read from Robert Reich

Senator Mark E. Kelly, Patriot of Patriots
The contrast between him and Pete Hegseth or Trump couldn't be more larger

Trump, Hegseth, and Republicans think their meltdown shows strength, but it’s the opposite. They’re showcasing decorated Democratic veterans like Mark Kelly who make them look small and petty. They should pay more attention to lowering grocery prices than ridiculous threats of court-martialing.

I am resetting the mantel in the manse: making it more fitting for the December holidays - Slightly bittersweet AND I know I will enjoy walking in and seeing it looking festive. :-) #vlogmas2025 #grannylife

So the new version of MAGA is that Marjorie Taylor Greene is a traitor, Rand Paul is a RINO, and Zohran Mamdani is great.
Got it.

Behind this important reversal is a member of the Coast Guard who saw what was happening and had the courage to leak it to the press. That person deserves serious praise.

Finally finishing up reading “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” by Truman Capote. The ending sounds quite different than the beginning - and I’m glad to have finally read it. I wonder how different the movie is?
