I love reading, the outdoors, and my wacky pets. Posting thoughts from the land of Oz.
- It’s a perfect Up North Michigan morning. Good day for a bike ride, eh?
- Absolutely! 47 couldn’t ride a bike if his life depended on it.
- MAGA fans ripped off by the stable genius. What a surprise! The buyer expected it would “ have the integrity of the president of the United States”. www.ky3.com/2025/05/14/r...
- Sen. Roger Marshall on Medicaid demonstrators: "My guess is they're probably hired to do that ... everybody is on a sugar high the last four years because of covid, and it's hard to come off that sugar high."

- He does, but is also incredibly stupid. Unfortunately, he’s one of my senators.

- Definitely #2

- Burgers and steaks are not BBQ.
- You’d think a doctor would know better. 🙄 I honestly don’t know how someone so stupid made it through medical school.
- This will be easy to confirm. Not that anyone will care.
- “Massive” 🙄
- Jamie Raskin on Trump's Qatar plane grift: "We’re talking about corruption at just an epic scale." This is a remarkable description from Raskin of how Trump's various corrupt schemes all interlock with each other: newrepublic.com/article/1951...

- I saw her interview but missed their comments. I wouldn’t invest in anything recommended by Woods. She’s the Marianne Williamson of investing.
- That’s the flag raising on Mt. Suribachi on Iwo Jima. It happened in February 1945. It has nothing to do with victory in Europe.
- I wish someone would ask Trump about the Pacific theater so he could ramble about he thinks he attended a show there once
- 🤣🤣🤣

- I’ve been thinking about that a lot lately.
- [Not loaded yet]
- He does that a lot with quotes, sometimes with his own name. It doesn’t make sense, but consider the source.
- Again: he is not going to back down from tariffs because the imports collapse is an explicitly good thing to him. It’s the whole goal of the policy. He sees the number of containers going to zero and thinks *that is a success* because it means we’re not buying things from those foreigners anymore.
- [Not loaded yet]
- Yes, that’s exactly what I thought.

- Reduce road maintenance? Truly a fabulous idea, especially in Alaska. 🙄
- What do you notice?
- There’s a bandage on his hand.
- We just lost a second fighter jet off the coast of Yemen. Let’s check in on the Commander-in-Cheat to see what he’s up to …
- The way we’re treating the rest of the world, why would anyone come here for the World Cup?
- After Trump makes California reopen Alcatraz, he’s going to make Michigan reopen the Packard plant.
- So many of Trump’s ideas are as old as he is.

- All of life seems to be a movie to trump.
- Trump: "A young lady -- 10 year old girl, 9 year old girl, 15 year old girl -- doesn't need 37 dolls. She could be very happy with 2 or 3 or 4 or 5."
- I find it extremely creepy for him to be discussing young girls in any way.
- Trump on strollers: "All costs are down. Everything is down other than the thing you carry the babies around in."
- He’s never used one, so has no idea what it’s called.
- WELKER: Your secretary of state says everyone who's here, citizens and non-citizens, deserve due process. Do you agree? TRUMP: I don't know. I'm not a lawyer. I don't know. WELKER: Don't you need to uphold the Constitution? TRUMP: I don't know
- I guess Dementia Don has forgotten the oath he took to uphold the Constitution.

- I don’t often go to Starbucks, but the last time I did, the staff were busy filling mobile orders and didn’t even acknowledge my presence, so I left.
- Lutnick’s ability to paint vivid images of the dystopian implications of their technofeudal policies is unparalleled
- I don’t understand how stupid people become so wealthy and successful.
- This is just wild on how The Atlantic interviewed Trump. I mean, does anyone pick up unknown numbers anymore *other* than the President of the United States?
- He’s desperate for anyone to listen to his constant blathering.

- I’m still waiting for his healthcare plan and Melania’s press conference explaining how she got her green card.

- Lil Marco must be loving his job so far.
- Memorialize? He’s going to install a tacky gold plaque somewhere?
- Movie you’ve seen more than six times, no Star Wars or Trek or LOTR.

- I don’t understand why anyone would want him for their team.
- I'm not a lawyer and I'm very tired, so excuse me if this is a stupid question: But if the principles of birthright citizenship *were* ever dismantled ... what's the theory for how citizenship would be determined?
- [Not loaded yet]
- I don’t know when issuing birth certificates became mandatory. My father was born in 1929 and the doctor who delivered him didn’t file one. He finally received a delayed certificate when he was in his 50s.

- I attended the draft in KC a couple of years ago. The fans are pretty entertaining. It’s like ComiCon for the NFL.

- Good question. Almost all of my ancestors immigrated before the Revolutionary War, so I can’t prove their citizenship.
- [Not loaded yet]
- Joking. Because talking about ending a war is so funny!

- Thank you for the positive thoughts. I needed it after calling my senator’s office. ☹️ I love Alaska and have visited several times over the last few years. Going again this year. Always something new to explore!

- 📈15 major chain restaurants increased ⬆️menu prices by more than the rate of inflation between 2020-2025, on average by 42%. Price gouging.

- Once upon a time, Putin supposedly complimented trump, so now the stable genius thinks they’re friends. 47 doesn’t understand that he’s being played. He also doesn’t understand friendship, because he’s not capable of being a true friend.

- If only he had some way of communicating with Putin other than social media.

- I don’t disagree with you, but I’m puzzled as to why some of these women go to extremes with the surgery, Botox, etc. Do they really think they look better that way?

- Have you tried GoodRX? I haven’t used it myself, but have heard good things about it from others.
- jeez louise -- Sen. Ron Johnson and Benny Johnson suggest 9/11 was an inside job and Johnson says he wants to hold hearings
- I hope they do. Let them occupy themselves with something meaningless. It might save them from causing harm elsewhere.
- The Trump administration is assessing ways to persuade women in the U.S. to have more children, as a movement grows on the right to reverse declining birthrates and push conservative family values. Some pitched ideas include cash baby bonuses and menstrual cycle classes. nyti.ms/4jh3UAR
- Menstrual cycle classes? There’s a number of people on the far right who never attended sex ed classes. If they learn how the menstrual cycle actually works they’ll probably have fewer children.
- Breaking: Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s bag, including $3,000 in cash, is stolen from DC restaurant By Josh Campbell and Kit Maher www.cnn.com/2025/04/21/p...

- Went on @60minutes.bsky.social to talk to Bill Whitaker about H5N1. As Kamran Khan from Bluedot told Bill, we don’t know if or when this virus might acquire pandemic capabilities, but it can. And if it does, as I told Bill, that will be worse than COVID. Much worse. www.cbsnews.com/news/bird-fl...
- I remember thinking during the Covid epidemic that we were lucky it wasn’t an avian flu and now here we are.
- You know, priorities. 🙄 www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...
- Well, Sarah Huckabee Sanders said she wanted the “meddling hand of big government” out of Arkansas. I guess she got her wish.
