Obsessive writer, "Mimi" of seven, and darned good whole-foods cook. I enjoy coupling my interest in child-nurturing and mental health with politics. In a former life, I was a newspaper journalist and remedial reading teacher.
Love "Empathy as a weapon." Dr. Allan Schore of UCLA is an authority on right-brain development in infants - the social emotional brain, where empathy begins. Check out his Norway lectures on YouTube. I just posted a link to a blog article of mine on this topic. familyfieldguide.com/2015/07/26/t...

No offense intended. It was really his superciliousness and self-righteousness, that I wanted to point out. I should be more precise.

My comment was intended to be satirical. At any rate, Johnson isn't Catholic - a correction I made to subsequent commenters.

I stand corrected: I must have been thinking of JD Vance. According to an interview in www.deseret.com, "Johnson is currently a member of the Cypress Baptist Church in Benton, Louisiana, according to the Louisiana Baptist Message..." www.deseret.com/2023/10/30/2...

I stand corrected. He has long been a member of Cypress Baptist Church in Benton, Louisiana. Whatever his religion, he's a modern pharisee.

I can't imagine the process of filing an auto insurance claim against ICE. We were hit by a Safeway semi-truck's tire tread on I-25. Our insurance company couldn't figure out how to get back our deductible from the company, because the driver was a contractor. My husband did the research himself.

I just contacted Rep. Jeff Hurd's office. Why were all those Grand Junction HS athletes not allowed to compete on Saturday? Because they joined in the walk-out on Friday in solidarity with the nationwide protests against ICE. Bad stuff. www.gjsentinel.com/news/western...
GJHS student-athletes suspended over ICE protests
Student-athletes at Grand Junction High School were held out of athletic competition Saturday as a result of their participation in a student-led walkout on Friday.
