  • Being of a certain age and also being from the Midwest, a simple message from our Disney friend, Thumper, is deeply ingrained in my personality – “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say nothing at all.”

    Today is one of those days where I wish I could turn off that switch and just say what I really think. I am beginning to think life is too short to stay buttoned up and hold everything in all of the time.

  • Does anyone else feel like the president just tried to sell us some of his steaks? Wow, what a completely insane old man.

  • I think it is certainly fair to question the president and Tom Homan about a potential deployment of ICE agents at our nation’s airports. Clearly, there is a reason most of the country does not trust the agency.

    Before any of them walk into an airport on duty, we should know exactly what they will be doing in their official capacity, we should have the more than fair expectation that not one of them will be hiding behind a mask, and every agent should know the exact procedure to hand off tasks and actions to appropriately trained TSA and CBP officers who are actually trained to be working at our ports of entry and dealing with travelers and the stresses that come in those scenarios.

  • Beautiful afternoon at K9 Garden with Hans and Franz!

  • If you had any remaining doubts that Trump considers ICE to be his personal intimidation force, this should clarify things for you.

  • This seems like an incredibly important data point for every leader around the globe to consider when interacting with Iran. This is especially true for those leaders that wrongfully feel they have the right to start unprovoked wars.

  • War Games is one of my favorite movies from the 80’s, and this is incredibly funny!

    When I first watched War Games (1983) I thought "wow, so weird, not only they had terrible password management, but their test 'AI' system was directly linked to the prod".

    Ha-ha. :blobcat_thisisfine:

  • Nikki McCann Ramirez wrote an excellent article in Rolling Stone about how we Americans, through our elected government, could be spending our collective budget on positive changes for citizens and humanity instead of bombing and killing Iranians.

    Surely, we all can agree that the following list of alternatives would have wide support:

    • Health Care
    • Child Care
    • Medical Debt
    • Foreign Aid
    • Food Assistance
    • Public Programming
    • Preschool Development
    • Aid for the Disabled

    These are all things that help real people and can have lasting, positive impacts on our collective lives on this planet. We are well overdue on changing the way we think as Americans about how best to have impact, and it all starts by actually caring about each other and electing the right leaders.

  • This ruling is a massive win for the citizens of the United States and for the over 360 million people worldwide that rely on Voice of America for information especially in countries where real, factual information is not otherwise accessible.
