Pete Hegseth is right: Mark Kelly shouldn't be a senator.

He should take Hegseth's job and be SECDEF.

I'll be on MSNOW at 4pm to talk more about it.

#JamesComey contributed directly to trump getting elected in 2016 by running to congress like a little whiny tattletale saying “Hilary’s e-mail is bad . . ”
Throw him in jail for that.

As for #StarWarsRanking I like C-3PO the best of any TV or movie robots. He’s adorable. And usually right.

Sunny and mild here in western Pennsylvania this Sunday but no flowers in the garden. So, from my archives, some of last summer’s blooms.

This young woman has endured so much since her unexpected diagnosis. Prayers and hope to her and her family. 🙏🏼 🕊️

When I was diagnosed with leukemia, my first thought was that this couldn’t be happening to me, to my family.

Art Garfunkel has a beautiful voice - “All I Know” showcases it well.

Life
So they say
Is but a game and they'd let it slip away
Love
Like the autumn sun
Should be dyin'
But it's only just begun
Like the twilight in the road up ahead
They don't see just where we're goin'
And all the secrets in the universe
Whisper in our ears
All the years will come and go

🚨 Misusing antibiotics can affect everyone.

#AntimicrobialResistance (#AMR) occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites no longer respond to medicines. Drug-resistant bacteria can spread and make infections harder to treat.

Share a TV series you've watched from beginning to end more than once.

I forgot #PBS shows ( I’ve watched many over the years) Among my favs would be Downton Abbey, Poldark, the Poirot mysteries with David Suchet! We’ve also streamed a fair amount of BritBox shows like Vera. #TV
