I was born in Plainview when the main street was dirt & brick.Then, I moved to Amarillo, where from the edge of town, I looked out to see prarie to the horizon, dust hard blowing,
burning bare legs & flirting with school skirts.I no longer live in West Texas.I still write about the plains & horses.

Murder on the High Seas sounds more like a pirate novel than what is going on.The more we protest, the more violent and unhinged it becomes as if taking a favorite game away from a teenage boy. He just goes to a friend's house and plays it there.

We cannot overlook the possibility that many of Trump's cabinet and staff are in on this & they have been protecting Trump to save themselves. There is much to come.

Leaked document. Yikes, things are about to get much worse. It looks like we’re on the verge of becoming a military state across the country. Step out of line, and the man come and take you away.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.
Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

I am concerned about women & children on SNAP. It seems that the House has no intention of opening up. I think that as long as they can keep a lid on Epstein, they won't. Arkansas has no provision for subsidies for gov. assistance.Surprise. What about a class action if this lasts through Christmas?

It seems apparent to me that President Trump is setting up a situation where we are going to be going to be at war with some country in South America. It will probably be Venezuela. He has to do this in order to be able to cancel the midterms. This is disgusting.

Everyone going toNo Kings should think about taking a large (meant for garbage, not just little trash) in case it rains. If you can, take a couple for others. I learned this the hard way.They make great emergency rain covers & other things.

It is a miraculous gathering of the Middle East to forge this Peace Summit signed by all with the very notable absence of Netanyahu. To my mind, with the exception of the hostage and detainees release, it is just a piece of paper without him.

With him, there is no possible map for his long-term agreement on anything. Impeachment for the entire bunch is the only option. He is not the rotten apple. The entire bunch is rotted.

This "laying off" people they also define as reducing the size of government. Do these highly qualified people just wait around to be brought back as the government has had to do before? Really? This has to be illegal. If they sign an oath to Trump over the Constitution, do they get to stay?

Suggestion to campaigners out there. When you call people who are not necessarily expecting your call, it is a good idea to have an identifier or name. I do not answer any calls that don't name the caller. I would welcome a call from a candidate or a volunteer, but not a robo-caller.

There was no applause at the end of our Secretary of "War's" speech. That gave me more hope than I have felt lately. No boo rah or guttural Yaya, just the order to stand and
stone- faced silence.
