Bernie's interview on Colbert must have really got under Trump's skin.

It's going to snow here. We got groceries today, and it is supposed to start tomorrow night. I've a jigsaw puzzle to finish, 8 model rockets to build, and I think we may break open the media cabinet to watch some old movies.

People are seriously talking about 25th Amendment. Let's pour some gasoline on that fire 🔥🔥🔥

I saw a No Kings rally of about 12 folks in the center of Enid, Oklahoma today. That area was the reddest of red in the past presidential election. Amazing.

I started watching CBS Sunday Morning News with Charles Kuralt. It was a pleasant viewing, with feel-good stories sprinkled in. Alternative lifestyles. They had a good run. I may watch pieces on YouTube, but no more full shows.

I want a Chevy Bolt, 2027 model, when they become available. I'm tired of making oil companies richer. That is the the cheapest American EV.

Trump's dream of what America should be.

So I just deleted CBS Sunday Morning from my DVR. We have watched for many years. First article this morning was about Trump's accomplishments the past year, and what is coming. I have a small yard, and I don't need that much fertilizer.

Most of the Proud Boys and other participating groupso of the Jan 6th have joined ICE because it's the best pay they could get.

Begonia is one wild movie. Would recommend only for the same.

The Running Man is a must see movie. The plot twists are better than any Six Flags coaster.
January 16, 2026 at 5:12 AM
Watching Running Man. Is this set in 2027?

Just finished Death by Lightning. Great historical series. Too bad Trump is tearing down the legacy of what was started as a result: Civil Service.

I'm wanting to spend my spare time researching archives of the EPA. I want to find evidence of the enshitifacation of the American car industry driven by a unlikely cadre of people wanting the American way.

I saw a hilarious YouTube video today. It was about Minnesota becoming a Canadian province. How about a state-wide referendum? Then RMP escorting ICE and all other US agencies out of the state.

A couple of friends I met at the Euchee Butterfly Farm this morning. Owl butterflies.

So SCOTUS is queued up to overturn LGBTQ protection. My question is about those born with non-standard genitalia. Do they participate with boys or girls, or are they restricted to home school?
January 13, 2026 at 6:41 PM
Going to a butterfly farm tomorrow. Run by the Euchie tribe. There are some wonderful things in Oklahoma.

I'm going to miss the PBS weekend news on YouTube.
January 13, 2026 at 4:34 AM
Just rewatched Andromeda Strain. Still an amazing movie.
January 13, 2026 at 4:31 AM
We are nearing the tipping point where Trump will declare Martial Law due to overwhelming protests. I don't have a better idea, sorry.
January 12, 2026 at 11:01 AM
Watch Metal Lords on Neflix. Just finished it. A serious purge you need.

Fundamentally, you cannot bomb a foreign country (such as Iran) into democracy.

What do you expect from the FBI but a whitewash of the shooting to support the gaslighting from the administration. Resistor Vic on YouTube showed it best. Sh was still in reverse when the ICE agent started to draw his gun. He was already committed. As Noem said, they were following orders.
