This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in

Okay. I may have gone a little too far this year..

But gee, Hunter Biden… please, really?

There isn’t a shred of whataboutism that comes close to the scale of corruption and greed by the Trump crime family.

The fog finally gives up, melting into a soft blue sky.
The traffic fades. The sun takes over.

And this old vet sits there, watching the world roll on — tired, hopeful, and damn proud to still be here to see it. 🇺🇸☕🌞

Peace be with y'all!

I lean back, take another sip, and mutter to no one in particular —
“Come on, America. You’ve still got more good days ahead. Just gotta remember who you are.”

So yeah, I worry. I grumble. I shake my head at the headlines.
But I still believe.
Because I’ve seen what good people can do when they decide to do it together.

That sight does something to me every time.
Makes me remember that for all our cracks and chaos, this country’s still got bones of steel and a heart that refuses to quit.

But the sun’s pushing through now — warm, golden, stubborn as hope itself.
And for a moment, the fog lifts enough for me to see the flag across the street, still standing proud in the morning breeze.

I worry about where we’re headed.
Seems like everyone’s shouting, no one’s listening, and too many folks forgot what it means to just care without conditions. We used to have each other’s backs — now it feels like we’re just watching each other’s feeds.

But for them — the kids, the grandkids, the ones running late for work right now with a cell phone in one hand and coffee in the other, half-listening to a world that’s half-lost its mind.

Not for me. I’ve had my time. I’ve fought my fights, lost my share, and found a peace that only comes with years.
