“If the West Wing is the mind of the nation, then the East Wing is the heart.”

- former First Lady Betty Ford

The East Wing is gone.

Over a century of American history, reduced to rubble.

All to appease the vanity of a corrupt authoritarian.

Call me a conspiracy theorist but I'm starting to think that the government shutdown is part of their hostile government takeover.

Go read Project 2025, again.

Brought to you by the same voters who started losing faith in the government when government forces attacked the Branch Davidian complex in Waco in 1993

....sigh

There’s been talk for a while that he’s wanted a sovereign wealth fund. There was an EO in February about it. I expect that could be a place for this money to go if he does “donate” it. I think he may try to put the proceeds from the tariffs there too. It would be a giant slush fund basically.

"Congress approved funding for the renovations in 2008—before Obama took office—'after a Bush administration report revealed some systems in the White House were periodically failing.'"

Unlike our Supreme Court, Trump *does* feel bound by precedent. He lied back then, too.

Trump does not love our country.

Welcome to my door! Thank you Marcie my dear friend.

They are staging in Alameda. That’s pretty close. Don’t believe what they say, watch what they do.

Once our cafeteria worker brought me a goose egg. It needed so much time it hatched on my desk at home. Lucy the goosey.

American Lancers are heading into the Caribbean, big shots are getting the hell out of Caracas, and Trump is set to make an announcement at 3 PM.

Are we at war with Venezuela?

Reminds me of the picture book called Leo the Late Bloomer. I read it often (kindergarten retired teacher) because of the hope and reassuring message. I counseled the kids to respond “Not Yet” if they were asked by me if they knew their phone number or address.

Hey. So now that SNAP is being cut and people will be struggling further to feed their families, I wanted to share a really good resource for finding food pantries in your area you can utilize or support depending on your situation.

Go to www.gethelp.org and then go to “food” & type in your zip!

Sigh…brings back so many memories. Decades as a kindergarten teacher, and each year I ran two incubators (chicks and ducklings) so the babies would be two weeks old when spring break came around. Nothing like it!
