So the good, old USA now has become the AFP ( American Fascist Party).
Never thought I would see this in my lifetime.
And yes. I attended the No Kings march in NYC. I was proud to be there.

My definition of very, very old. Yesterday, the NFL announced that Bad Bunny is performing during halftime of the Super Bowl. I have never heard of Bad Bunny. However, I do take comfort in hearing that MAGA is unhappy about it.
To paraphrase Gandhi: I like your Christ, but I do not like your Christians. They are so unlike their Christ.
Yesterday, my wife, my son, and I visited Ellis Island. Fascinating experience. The immigration process there was far from perfect, but our country tried. I was sad to think about then and now. ICE raids. Firing immigration judges. Fascism. I am ashamed of my country.

If Charlie Kirk is your generation's MLK, you're this generation's Hitler's Youth.
That was yesterday. Who knows what he will say today?
Oh honey, I am texting you from heaven or someplace nearby. I must say the food is not that good hear.
Well, my my. Goodness gracious. Disney or whoever is bringing back Jimmy Kimmel. Don't think for a second that the senior people grew a backbone.
It is funny how getting older changes one's perspective. I will turn 71 next month. My health is good. Lucky me. As we all know, Robert Redford died recently at age 89. Sad news. 10 years ago, I would have thought Wow, 89 is really old. Now, I thought to myself. 89 is really not that old.
Actually, that is what a huge, putrid bag of shit looks like. Just to be clear!!!
