The Sandy Hook massacre happened 12 years ago (from Saturday) and here we are with another school shooting a week before Christmas. Parents will have tot bury their child a week before Christmas and there will be gifts left unopened under that tree. I’m just tired of this senseless violence.

This seems to be common among "democrats" where they win and immediately switch to the GOP. Absolutely abhorrent and this is why we need the ability to recall our representatives.

Two things bug me about this Morning Joe opening monologue:
1. The defensiveness - why are you so defensive? They are desperately trying to turn this on everyone else and playing the old “well everyone else is doing it” card. It is stunning of the lack of self awareness they have.

3.6 million more people voted in 2020 than in the 2024 election. That is a huge difference but it wouldn't have changed the results. In all swing states there was higher turnout when compared to 2020. There are a lot of arguments going around that the Harris campaign didn't energize enough people...

“In a final show of contempt for the American people, President Biden waited until a Sunday… to commit this unethical act.”
Opinion pieces like this are a tragedy. But what would you expect from Turley, the man who called the Jan 6 impeachment of Trump a “snap impeachment”.

How/when did we become ok with extortion against those in government office? The fact that Trump & Elon can threaten to fund primary challengers if they don’t confirm Trump’s cabinet picks is insane. Any rational country would prohibit this from ever taking place but common sense is dead.

We officially announced to our family that we will be moving out of the south next year. Felt good to be honest and let it be known we can no longer sit by and allow our daughter’s future and healthcare to be put in jeopardy just because of that state we are living in.
Excited for the next chapter!

I'm constantly on the lookout for a good deal, especially around phone plans. Last year I left Verizon for T-Mobile and then recently jumped back to Verizon BUT decided to go with their MVNO, Visible. I've saved $110 per year switching carriers. That's a lot of Starbucks sugar plum croissants!

Why does it feel like Tim Walz got muzzled during the campaign? Is it just me? He was that role model a lot of young men are looking for. The entire “weird” attack was golden and it felt like he was sidelined pretty quickly. He should have been on Rogan and many more podcasts. Missed opportunity?

Continuing my analysis on how men are shifting right: Joe Rogan's average listener is 24 with 71% being men. This is more than worrisome since Joe isn't a reliable source for much. Why do men flock to his show? Is it the macho attitude? The confidence? For entertainment? Or the sense of community?

Men make up ~50% of the population but account for 80% of all suicides. They are 4x more likely to commit suicide compared to women. The image of masculinity that's being peddled from the right is surely impacting their mental wellbeing which may be contributing to the political shift.

I've been thinking a lot about the results of the 2024 election and men 18-29 voted for Trump. While 49% isn't crazy high, the concern is the shift between '20 to '24. Trump saw a +8% gain in 4 years. Also, he saw a shift with men 30-44 by +3%. We need a practical solution to reach these men.
