I knit, I read, I have dogs, I live in the wilderness.
Forgotten - or ignored - American history:

When the country was created, they wondered what to do with the Catholics.

New England became five states, and Virginia became three - because Delaware wanted no part of being a refuge for Catholics.

The Church of England went home with the British.

Pete Hegseth must immediately resign or be removed.

His complete disregard for procedure and overall gross incompetence is an ongoing threat to national security.

and most disturbingly, revoke Social Security cards by falsely declaring migrants dead in government systems.

This isn’t policy. It’s targeted erasure.

Folks freaking out over Kristi Noem having over $3K in cash in her purse should understand that this isn't that unusual for Rich People.

It's a far cry from my uncle who used to have $5K in his pocket in the 1960s "in case he wanted to buy a car" which would be around $40K today.

A couple of things ...
First, I'm quite happy that I took the money from our investments in February to do the work planned this year.

Second, the Dow has not reached the level it was at this time last year (any minute now, though), so it's going to be a while before I panic.

So they're trying to say that they will make up the revenue from cutting taxes on Americans, by raising taxes on imported goods. Americans will be able to have lower costs as long as they don't buy imported goods.

Such as, but not limited to, coffee, tropical fruits, rice, chocolate...
War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Tariffs are tax cuts.

Yesterday King Charles was inspecting a British ship.

And YET he did so dressed as King of Canada wearing Canadian military decorations and Canadian honours, inc Order of Canada and Canadian Order of Military Merit.

Charles is sending us and the world a message, a LOUD message.

Two days ago, after pondering what my best course of action was, I deleted, closed, canceled, pick a verb, my Amazon account. On to getting shipments from All The Other Vendors that ship to the tag ends of everywhere.

Folks need to divest of more than Tesla stock to impact Mush. His other major holdings include X, PayPal, SpaceX, Neuralink and OpenAI. I quit X a while ago, but PayPal had been a tool for getting money to friends and family. NO MORE.

Things they don't teach in parochial schools:

After the American Revolution, they sent the Church of England home with the government. They didn't re-brand it as the Church of America.

Catholics were allowed to live in three places: Rhode Island, Maryland and the southern tip of Manhattan.

Our Southern Excursion got canceled due to the exhaust pipe breaking off the rented RV at the front end, and then Steve cutting his hand badly and needing to go to the ER. The KOA in Bowling Green KY then canceled our reservation due to flooding. We came home.

I want to know why followers of That Other Guy aren't being called Muskovites.

Or just plain Mushers, although that might be an insult to folks who race sled dogs.

I have noticed that older women and men who weren't allowed to be their Authentic Self are some of the most determined folks when it comes to preventing other folks from doing what they couldn't do, rather than helping society change. "If I can't, no one can," is not a good motto.

The Good Wife, The Good Fight and Elsbeth. On Paramount+ and other sources.

These cover ten years in a Chicago law firm plus two years of the character taking a job with a police office in Manhattan.

Go watch them all the way from the beginning. I can't describe them in 100 words.
