I began this "Will Rogers" shtick because I was struck by how timely the man's insights remained.
Human nature is a constant, for better or worse.
Rogers was a simple cowboy whose wit and humor made him one of the most influential voices in the world.
There is more power in laughter than we realize.

I think treasonous pig is how he'll be remembered.
At least at my house anyway.

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

This 1000 times over. My father fought in Europe. My uncle died there. These 21st century NAZIs are just as despicable as their predecessors and deserve the same fate.

Can anyone truly think Hamas will just give up all it's cards on the word of Trump and Netanyahu?
Hamas would be crazy to do it, so they won't, so the genocide will continue, while Netanyahu will claim he tried, and Trump will once again demand a Nobel Peace Prize.

Pope Leo XIV says, "Those against abortion but in favor of the death penalty are not really pro-life."

Last time the Republican party went the tarrif route, they lost their majority in a landslide and didn't win another for 16 years.
The only thing gonna save them now is to steal votes, which they're working on.

The Republicans here in Maine are so afraid of the midterms that they just mailed 250 absentee ballots to a random household JUST so they could try to drum up support for their election rigging agenda.
They'll try to deny it, but they'll never prove they didn't.

It's funny. She doesn't look that scary to me, but apparently, the cult formerly known as the GOP is stark raving terrified of this woman.
So terrified in fact, that they'd rather shut the government down than deal with her.
Curiouser and Curiouser.
