My mom’s memory care costs north of $8K/month and it’s not by any means luxurious.
I hear the employees chat together and it’s clear that many have second jobs. Example: one was leaving the facility to go directly to another full shift at Amazon.
Terrible $ math. It’s enraging.

I was never a Scout, but I was a military brat. This would apparently ban troops from bases. Anything that would cause military kids to feel more isolated and socially awkward is monstrous.

The vote to reopen the government with no deal on health care is a brutal blow to all those who have stood together to save affordable health care for more than 20 million Americans.
I will vote ‘NO’ with every fiber of my being.

Heritage kerfuffle, Marjorie Taylor Green acting out of character, Josh Hawley worrying about people running short of food, election blowout.
It’s time to point out that Republicans are in Disarray.

For some reason 🤔 I am reminded of a time some years back when, walking my dog after dark, some young people drove by me an threw a very mustard-y hamburger remnant at me.
Reader: Somehow, I survived.

One of my college friends gave me a book about Mad King Ludwig and the Bavarian castles he built in the late 1800s. His taste and Trump’s are pretty same-same.
It didn’t end well for Ludwig.

Like almost everyone born in Oklahoma, I was told we had a Cherokee ancestor. Early versions of my DNA tests showed no indigenous heritage. But now, they show a small amount, consistent with about seven generations back.
I find it inconclusive, but possible, perhaps likely. Nothing to ridicule.

When my son was in the Navy, he said the nuclear techs on carriers got away with not meeting physical fitness requirements because they were so essential.
A modern military needs brains as much or probably more as brawn. Hegseth clearly wants women out of the military. Won’t end well.

I remember when the Trump administration loudly admired the Milei “chainsaw” tactics in Argentina while DOGE was ransacking our civil service. It was supposed to be a brilliant economic strategy.
