I prefer to post about food, raising my son and this adventure we call life. Unfortunately, I feel compelled to post about today’s politics.

Discussing politics with conservatives today reminds me of the saying, “you can lead a horse to water, but it’s surprisingly difficult to drown it.”

I’ve been wrestling with resentment towards those who were duped by this administration. Sometimes I just need to disconnect in order to preserve my inner peace.

Anyone who was or is involved in the exploitation and abuse of children needs to pay regardless of celebrity status or political affiliation and any information pertaining to that activity needs to be released and the perpetrators prosecuted.

So I’m half way through The Devils by Joe Abercrombie and although I’m a fan I don’t understand the criticism this has gotten. Different world, but still incredible.

So I bought a random man his breakfast at the diner the other day. Not out of some sort of altruism, but because my son beamed him with half a banana. He may have a future in the majors.

The TACO is a great moniker. My only problem with it is that I really like tacos and have no desire to think about that nasty douche while eating.

Is targeting a specific company with tariffs legal? It seems like overreach to me. An industry maybe, but one company?

Let’s expand on the “pot boiling over” analogy. The pots our government, the flame is this administration, the smoke detector is the “woke” population and the dumbasses that are ignoring it thinking it’s a false alarm are about to get burnt indiscriminately along with the rest of us.

Our trade deal so far is no tariffs on Rolls Royces and Bentleys and our refugee policy is white South Africans only.

Mental note to self: there is absolutely no point trying to change Trump supporters minds. For my own peace of mind, they need to find out on their own. FAFO

One frustrating aspect of DOGE is there is no alternative being proposed. It’s just we’re going to blow this up and leave rubble. People are naturally going to be angry and afraid. And there’s a strong possibility that they have no solutions only callous removal. In which case f them.

Casa Bianca in Eaglerock has the best pizza in LA IMO. If you dine in, plan to wait for a table; no reservations. It’s that good though.

So…with climate change denial added to vocal criticism of FEMA plus the real chance of civil unrest, I’ve reevaluated prepping. I’m not stock piling resources, but I am getting some basic things. Not to be alarmist, but it’s better to have something and not need it than need it and not have it.

Preppers must be watching the news and losing their minds. Is it Red Dawn, Contagion, Civil War or the Walking Dead? How many MRE’s will they need? Can they stock another 20,000 rounds of ammunition?

Another lesson from a toddler: Adults don’t do joyful “reckless abandon” nearly enough and that may be why we don’t regularly wake up laughing.

Further lessons from a toddler: Getting peed on isn’t as fun as it used to sound like. Going an entire day in only one outfit is a major accomplishment. When someone offers you something to eat and you don’t like it, you aren’t obligated to eat it.

Further lessons from a toddler: Singing should always be a group activity. It doesn’t matter if you’re good at something. If it makes you happy and isn’t hurting anyone, go for it. Appreciating other’s abilities is the best and fastest way to expand your own.
