I received the president's $90 Medicare Part B rebate today then donated my own $90 to Democratic candidate Adam Hamilton's campaign for US Senator from Kansas. Not selling my vote. Go Blue!

Lake Ontario. Once again so there! And who would blame the Canadian geese I'm seeing around here if they flew right past this country.

"95°F in Park City tomorrow, 6° colder than today" really means 6° not as damn hot as the last six days!

The President's new White House Eagle emblem and a Civil War era Confederate Eagle plate each with 11 stars. 😠

It's pretty clear our President, his administration, most Republicans, and 2/3 of the Supreme Court do not believe in these words on the plaque on pedestal of the Statue of Liberty. How terribly sad for our loved country.
The New Colussus
From the Pedestal of The Statue of Liberty

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Emma Lazarus
November 2, 1883

ICE has arrived in Manhattan, Kansas. 😡
The Riley County Police Department has received multiple calls regarding possible Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the Manhattan area this morning. We can confirm there were operations that were conducted. RCPD was not involved in these operations. Please refer all questions to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Developing skills in critical thinking was an important part of my education. I still owe my teachers 50+ years later. Thank you!

Not the first time it's been called one, but the White House is truly now a nut house.

Woody Guthrie sings of yesterday and sadly today's America. Thank you Shamus Records and the Woody Guthrie Foundation for releasing these nearly 75 year old home tapes. Wow!

As I was trailed down the interstate by a Cybertruck this morning, I couldn't help but imagine they could be coming for me because of my subscriptions to Mother Jones and New Republic forty years ago. It sped by this time, but the crisis in the country today is NOT imaginary.
