How I Stole From the President While Saving a Foster Home

Comedy / Crime

I love this story, my 6th book, and it is the season, right?

"A peasant girl, driven by her need for strength that may consume her, becomes the mastermind behind an evil power looking to enslave humanity and wonders how many must die for her to find herself."

I stepped into 1940 yesterday, as sunset approached, and snapped this photo.
Golden light shines everywhere. A tree stands in it. Leaves changing for autumn.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

Always good to block out some time with recurring busy time, especially in mornings.

In case you need it today, here’s a lovely view of a lake nearby, and location of the regional #NoKings rally.
Lake Quanapowitt in Wakefield MA on a pristine fall day in October. The tree line of the far shore cuts the image in two, clear blue skies above and calm blue waters below.

Uhhh, yeah. That was a lot to say something simple, that I’ve been saying all year: saving democracy and the rule of law is all that matters as all our freedoms flow from those.

These people, Trump and his clowns, are idiots and we will not lose the Republic to idiots.

This law was changed under Reagan. It used to be illegal and considered to be stock manipulation. It tilts executive decision making away from workers and toward the wealthy investment class. It’s a major reason we are seeing a stagnant job market.

Dems need to change the law back.

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024.

Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay.

The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year.

Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M

See the problem?

Baking continues with my active sourdough starter. It rose UP high like a chef’s hat.
#FoodSky #BakingSky
Round loaf of sourdough is ready for baking with a liberal application of water and flour atop it and crisscross cuts. Baked and cooked round loaf is cut on one end, that chunk cut in two. Butter and honey sit patiently beside it.

Does anyone know when I can expect my check for payment after attending today’s #NoKing rally? I’m a card carrying member of ANTIFA too, if that helps. I do direct deposit. Venmo?

After a busy morning helping save democracy at #NoKings it was time for #parenting and soccer on a beautiful day in New England. Because that’s how we resist wannabe dictators.
