Kudos to Jennifer Jenkins for her wisdom and decision. Assume she sees Vindman is a stronger candidate.

It's easier to convince them that those "illegals" are the culprits --taking all the jobs while using all the safety nets.

Delightful. My cat has found out if she steps on the touch-pad, the computer screen registers. Then she paws at it but can't figure out how to make the cursor appear. Thank goodness.

There is an old saying to the effect: Don't preach to pigs. It's a waste of your time and annoys the pigs. (Though annoying the pigs can be a good idea.)

Cannily, Melania married her ticket to the "good life". I thought this doc was a stupid idea -- then remembered the $40,000,000.
The reviews for “Melania” are going to be far more entertaining than the movie. What a fabulous headline:

Frankenhooker (1990)
What makes a movie become a true film? Frank Henenlotter knows, and he puts it on screen.
Okay, forgive me for this one but I love Frankenhooker. Its the perfect amount of schlock and horror. Really, the plot's in the title.
Who else has seen this one?
Any love?

This should be the "Kent State" moment for both political parties and the country, but especially the DEMOCRATIC WING!!
I’ll add a third. These are people who have no fear of swearing an oath that they will violate, because they hate their fellow Americans more than they love their country.
We will win, but it’s going to be ugly. But they really aren’t going to change course despite how unpopular it makes them. Between JD last night and this, if there are two things the Trump staffers believe in: it’s corruption and racism.

The E. U. needs take this psycho seriously and prepare to counter an invasion of Greenland. His ambitions may seem like a joke. That was the misguided path of Neville Chamberlain.

The final kindness we can provide our animal companions is preventing the pain and confusion of inevitable decline. French Fries was a good cat.
