Grandfather to 10 who simply wants their lives to be at least a good as mine has been. However, as a country we need a course correction for that to happen.

Once again, the NC Republican led legislature show they are incapable of governance. We need to vote them out especially Keith Kidwell and Bob Brinson.

#NC is the only state without a current budget. Totally unacceptable. Our goal should be to vote all current state legislators out of office. Especially #KeithKidwell and #BobBrinson. #washingtonnc, #easternnorthcarolina, #ENC #greenvillenc #ECU #pirates #onslownc #beaufortnc #pittnc #newbernnc

A great read by a former law enforcement officer that clearly lays out the lack of ICE jurisdiction in the MN shooting. As a former law enforcement officer myself, the first rule you learn is that if you don’t have jurisdiction everything else you do is illegal. substack.com/@tomhoefling...

Between the extreme gerrymandering and actions being taken by the board of elections, free and fair elections are becoming a thing of the past. However, it’s still worth the time to let your board of elections you disagree with their actions

Trying to get the historical perspective right so I can provide grandkids context on why they are being drafted for WWIII.
Is Venezuela more akin to Austria or Czechoslovakia in 1938? If we invade Greenland and Mexico, which is Poland and which is France in 1939.

So this is our senior dog that we got from a rescue in Ohio. He is somewhere between 12 and 14 years old. HIs face may be rapidly getting whiter, but is kept active by his 3 year old sister.

At the gym today older (than me) man came in, turned on Fox News in an otherwise quiet gym. The voice in my head went “you have to be f@&$ing kidding me”. However my mouth heard it as “use your inside voice”. Hate when that happens

Today’s Thought: Look up your Reps and Senator’s bios. Any military service - especially if they are 50 yoa or less? (What were they doing after 9/11)? Community service, 1st responder, teacher? Or did they go into legal/politics out of college? If latter, do they represent you or themselves?

A great explanation for why everyone feels they are struggling in today’s economy. I’m sure there are some (especially economists) who say why he is wrong- but after reading this I would say he is more right than wrong
