AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

In the first 100 days of Trump's presidency, the U.S. economy saw around 533,000 new jobs added. In contrast, during Biden's first 100 days, approximately 1.57 million jobs were created, the highest for any presidency since 1939.
Is it amazing? Biden is still the most outstanding president ever.

Thirteen days ago, I checked out V.E. Schwab's 'The Near Witch' (254 pages) from the library thru Libby. Now, with only 8 days left, I'm only 32% done! The deadline is looming, and I'm a bit stressed. I'm aiming for 25 pages a day to finish. It's been enjoyable so far, so I'm determined to make it!

I've started watching 'Holland,' the psychological thriller, on Amazon Prime. It's about a woman, played by Nicole Kidman, whose seemingly perfect life in Holland, Michigan, takes a dark turn. I'm halfway through and looking forward to seeing how it ends this week. Stay tuned for my thoughts on it.

I couldn’t help but wonder—if Elon Musk hadn’t played a role, would Trump have still won the election? Was his victory inevitable, or did Musk’s influence create a ripple effect that changed everything?

No matter what Trump does, it will never serve the greater good—his actions are consistently driven by self-interest and disregard for the truth.
