I’m retired
Seventy- seven
Love reading and writing
Wrote my memoir “Every Goodbye Ain’t Gone” by John Perry in 2004
My memoir has been on Amazon eKindle (way before we were mad with Amazon) since 2008
Was going for a bestseller; happy if I sell any 😎
I saw my first hummingbird a few weeks ago
It hovered very briefly within a few feet of where I was sitting on my porch then took off; it was very fast
I’m 77 years old
It happened so quickly I didn’t have time to take an iPhone pic
Been wondering it that hummingbird will come again

Republicans have been trying to kill ACA since it was “ born”
Ten years now; total failure
They know good and damned well people losing healthcare because of them is political suicide
Dems holding out longer would be a Pyrrhic victory
We would’ve lost even more the longer the government shut…

Anyone wanting a cleared eyed view on the Senate voting to end the shutdown needs to watch The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell from November 10, 2025
Without a doubt he makes it clear Democrats complaining Democratic leadership capitulated are wrong

I’m almost done reading
107 Days by Kamala Harris
Interesting book
Here’s why I come away with from reading it-millions of Americans chose to not vote for this very talented, intelligent and experienced Black/Asian woman, a decent Human Being in favor of a vile, semiliterate facsimile of a human

So how many additional days, weeks, months would the government shutdown have to go in before Republicans came to something they don’t have- their senses?
Meanwhile back at the ranch, federal workers aren’t being paid, SNAP not being funded, health care at risk whether government closed or not

I once tried selling my memoir in Go Fund Me
Instead of asking for donations I asked people to buy my book on Amazon ekindle

A small boy asked his father, “ Why is it wrong to feed hungry people?”
The father thought about it for a minute, “ Because the people making the rules against feeding hungry people have never been hungry
Or, if they have they’ve forgotten what an empty belly feels like…”

I should’ve mentioned the forgotten Black women in Hidden Figures worked in the early NASA space program
She lived a short but highly eventful life
Unfortunately her work on DNA is unknown by most of US
Like the Black women in Hidden Figures, Ms Franklin’s contributions on DNA research are lost to history

What is Texas AG Ken Paxton trying to hide?
He’s a busy fellow filing his lawsuits and making mischief all over Texas
His latest, suing Galveston ISD for refusing to post the Ten Commandments in its schools as required by law now

Lawless people are called lawless for a reason
They don’t obey laws; they evade laws
We have a lawless person misleading our government
No matter how we slice it and dice it Donald Trump is a criminal
Robin Hood, Jesse James and Clyde Barrow were criminals
But they were known for helping the

That gold sign stuck up at he edge of the door to Trump’s office “ OVAL OFFICE “ is to help HIM know where he is
Now we need another sign nearby saying “ A LEADER LEADS BY EXAMPLE…WHAT EXAMPLE ARE YOU SETTING?”

November 4 2025 was Chooseday
Millions of Americans made the choice of giving Democratic candidates the win
Republicans got shut out on Chooseday; the big Republican in the White House was the ghost on the ballot and the voters gave him and his policies a resounding middle finger

For many struggling Americans “ affordability is a new word”
Trump, demonstrating his usual social and historical ignorance, said “ they have this new word
It’s called affordability”
To the uber rich, affordability is a given
To the struggling middle and poor class American “ affordability “ is

Sean Dunn, “ sandwich guy” found not guilty of assaulting a federal agent with a sub sandwich
There was no Sub-stantial evidence of harm
If Mr Dunn had really tried harming the federal agent he would have forced him to eat the sub sandwich…

The federal government, Trump’s regime, better unass some money from somewhere Fast for all the people losing paychecks and all those losing SNAP (many are the same people)
They’ve got the money
They can get the money from all those billionaires Trump owes/ owns
Some checks in OUR mailbox-QUICK!

I hate thinking this, as beautiful as the video is, but could it be AI?
We just are having to question everything nowadays
Being “ elderly” I’m not particularly adept at using social media and I sure can’t spot AI videos from real ones 😀
This moves my heart
What a wonderful example of humanity from this young man

It breaks my heart to see elderly Americans having scrimp change to pay for food
It Shouldn’t be this way in the richest country in the world
But rich for who? …

I don’t live in any of the states having Democratic/Democracy victories yesterday
For me, ANY rebuke of Trump and Republicans is a victory for EVERYONE
I revel in the joy being experienced by millions of US across the country
The high of victory, though, must become the sober task of governing
