If you see me going and liking posts of yours from a couple of days ago or older, it's because you're one of the people I follow who I rarely ever see in my feeds when I'm scrolling and I'm trying to correct that.
One person can make a difference...🥹
It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

That was my father's final joke, I guess. A man tells his stories so many times that he becomes the stories. They live on after him. And in that way he becomes immortal. - Big Fish

I think if I were gunned down in a horrific way and found out my wife had a replica setup of where I was killed as a photo op, I'd haunt her and her Vice President sidepiece affair that she's doing a bad job of keeping a secret.
But that's just me. 🤷♂️

We're imposing tariffs on our once allies.
We have measles outbreaks.
We have gun violence.
And if you want to visit our country on a visa, we'll want to see 5 years of your social media posts to make sure you haven't said mean things about our leaders.
Can't believe tourism is down. Total shocker.

Pentagon says it fails eighth audit, targets 2028 to pass
For the eighth year in a row, the Pentagon has failed an annual audit, the Department of Defense said on Friday, continuing a pattern of financial accountability problems that have drawn bipartisan criticism and emerged as a campaign issue.

Hey! Remember when Barr (Bondi) withheld the Mueller (Epstein) documents for weeks so he (she) could mischaracterize what was in the Mueller (Epstein) Report and spin the findings for three weeks and then over-redact them? I sure do!

85% of CEOs are white men.
All but one US President has been a white man.
65% of all elected offices are held by white men.
Roughly 30% of the population is white men.

I would like to spread some holiday cheer on this Friday with 3 classic Christmas movies that I watched every year as a kid and that are hard to come by these days.
The first being, A Claymation Christmas Celebration, originally aired in 1987 on CBS.

Does anyone else have trouble believing anything that comes out of the Kash Patel lead FBI or is it just me?
Hopefully they really did identify the guy responsible.

This is horrific. RFK Jr’s CDC is funding a study in Guinea-Bissau which would involve deliberately withholding the hepatitis B vaccine from hundreds of newborn infants, putting them at great risk of death. They want to repeat Tuskegee.

Any time a Republican uses the words, "waste, fraud and abuse" just know that they are lying and what they truly hate, is money that goes to helping people.
With no notice or process, Michigan House Republicans slashed programs for moms and babies, kids with cancer, schools, first responders, and more.
5 Republicans joined Senate Democrats to undo those cuts. And Senate Democrats are doing everything we can to ensure the funds are restored.
