Back from the dead...and really not happy about what is happening today.
As I once incorrectly said “History Doesn't Repeat Itself, but It Often Rhymes”.
Nope. We have seen this before...

Kellyanne Conway suggested that people on Medicaid who lose coverage can "just get jobs" to obtain health insurance.
For real? Poor, old, sick, disabled people should just go get a job?
Where? Who is hiring these people and providing insurance?

Big "L" for Trump
“Trump has not adequately alleged the falsity of CNN’s statements. Therefore, he has failed to state a defamation claim,” stated Circuit Court of Appeals Judges Jordan, Newsom, and Branch in an eight-page filing
“Trump’s other arguments are likewise meritless," the judges wrote.

GOP Rep Massie from Kentucky:
“If they have ongoing investigations in certain areas, those documents can’t be released,” Massie says. “So, this might be a big smokescreen, these investigations, to open a bunch of them to, as a last-ditch effort to prevent the release of the Epstein files."

"Happy Holidays" is inclusive of Hanukkah, Diwali, Kwanzaa, Los Posadas, Bodhi, atheism, or any holiday celebrated. It invites all people into the holiday season. It is in no way oppressing Christians, and no one is offended by you aggressively "Merry Christmas"-ing.

MAGA is crowing about Clinton being mentioned in the Epstein files.
They are unable, or unwilling, to differentiate having consensual sex with an adult woman, and raping a child.
That's despicable on so many levels. But there it is.
MAGA believes sex with a woman is the same as with a child.

This happened less than 2 years ago. He has no visible scar, tear, or hole in that ear because that type of tissue takes a very long time to heal, if it ever totally heals.
Now critically look at the blood pattern. No spray back, only a dripping forward. Head wounds bleed A LOT btw.

We have a year to retake the House and Senate. It is going to take an overwhelming victory but if we get our message out to the middle of America we can make it happen.
Donate money and time. Keep talking to your friends and neighbors.
Keep fighting. 2026 is coming

“On a $300,000 loan at 6.25%: 30-year = $1,847/month, $364,920 in interest and 50-year = $1,520/month, $612,000 in interest.
“That’s a $327 lower payment … but $247,000 more interest.
Never mind a longer loan will have HIGHER interest rates making this actually WORSE

The primary reason for the price difference is that the meal packages are not identical. The 2025 basket contains fewer items (15 products vs. 29 in 2024), includes more store-brand items instead of name brands, and is missing some typical Thanksgiving items like pecan pie filling or sweet potatoes.

I have had this theory, for a while now, that the only reason Trump has escaped prosecution and had all the evidence covered up in the Epstein matter is that he is guilty, knew he was going to get caught, and turned informer to save his ass.
Thoughts? I believe the circumstantial evidence agrees

Using data from CBP, tariffs have generated about $117 billion of collections for the Treasury.
A $2,000 for low and middle income Americans (under 100k/year) would cost $300 billion, more if you include children.
The math don't math. Another Trump bribe to the American people is all this is

A buyer choosing between 30-year and 50-year loans with an interest rate of 6.25% would hypothetically save $250 a month at most. But instead of paying about $438,000 in interest over the life of the 30-year loan, they would pay $816,000 in interest over 50 years — about 86% more.
