Coffee bar is open with the perfect coffee for Josef Camp Breakfast spread...

Cowboy coffee done right with Chock full o'Nuts Cuban Roast and those old-fashioned enamelware mugs waiting to be filled.

And every statement from "them" about the enemy within is a psychological projection of just who the MAGArads ARE.

Good morning, Kinley and All...

Coffee bar is open, since there might be the odd wave or two from the speedboats, urns of properly made Single Estate Fair Trade Columbian Supremo Dark Roast will be there, along with mugs that won't spill.

You folks make me smile...

Now, Maryscott, you know what Mommy says...

If you can't say anything nice about anyone, it's much better to tell them the truth.

Which is why I disowned my fucking MAGArad, bullshit asswipe, KJV-besotted bitch of a sister.

Speculating on how deep FAFO is dipping its toe into the Great Unwashed and will be even more when the new ACA rates hit.

Visualization is a strong force. Good people, both acting in consort and thinking in consort, can create a force that can not be stopped. Woo-woo? Maybe, if you scoff. Truth, if you don't

The following pix is one of my visualizations of what happens to the MAGA movement AFTER THE BLUE WAVE. alt txt

We Dems and Blues are the hippo. MAGArads and Trump voters are the lioness. The hippo won. Keep this picture in mind all the way to the Blue Wave in Nov 2026 and beyond.

Watch this YouTube Short. Just sit back and actually think deeply about the shit humanity has broadcast to the stars.

Personally, I don't think we have a lot to worry about other starfarers visiting Planet Earth after seeing one season of CHiPS or Trump's speeches.

Using the KJV as a reference book, every radical right-wing evangel practices what can only be called "sanctified hatred".

Think about this. Many KJVers think that Jesus, THEIR Lord and Savior...is too WOKE.

Good morning, Kinley and everyone...
The coffee bar is open. Ranks of French Presses. Pots of 205-degree water. And the coffee is Dark Roast PURE Kona single estate.

Pat Coil and his group...out of SF...

I will point out those folks "swear" by the King James Version of the Bible, considered by more than a few knowledgeable folks to be an editorial, a way for King James to divorce his wife and purge the Catholic Church from England.

And do so by misinterpreting cherry-picked verses from the OT. 🤔😱

The pic says how this day is going so far. The groove (see next post) is timely for the day and comes from one of my fave groups.

Dave Brubeck - Unsquare Dance

Sean Duffy went to a law school that USNWR doesn't even list; it is so bad. One more half-***ed lawyer on the Cabinet.

So, I suppose we can discount his word, just like Pam Bondi and that insurance lawyer in Virginia who is a prosecutor who can't prosecute...

This just popped up on my Spotify feed. It is sprightly and still good jazz--Brubeck style...

Enjoy

I'd say those two nations are too close together.

More like Pakistan and Chad. Yeah, the Pakistan/Chad conflict.

Like he claimed he stopped the Cambodia and Armenia war. 🤔🤪

I'd say just look into her eyes...the window of one's soul, according to the Old Ones.

She is dead inside, with no moral compass and, in one way of defining being human, may not be sapiosentient.
