I have a trade deficit with woman who used to own my house. I paid her thousands of dollars for her home and she paid me nothing. Now, all I have is a house worth thousand of dollars. I could have saved those thousands of dollars if I lived on a bench in the park. It's just simple Economics.

Mike Johnson affixing himself to the anchor that is Trump and plummeting to the bottom of the ocean is stupid in itself. The fact that he is dragging the rest of America down with him is making it vile.

Good people can do bad things. Bad people can do good things. Slapping a label of "bad" or "good" on someone never tells the whole story. We shouldn't forget that people are messy and complicated.

I'm a lifelong New England Patriots fan, even as far back as the dark days of the early 1990s. I still follow them even though I don't watch the games all that much anymore. It's going to be harder for me to invest myself more fully based on Robert Kraft's push to remove Macklemore from the tour.

I skipped the President's address to the nation last night. It's bad enough he has to lock himself in a closet so he can bask in the smell of his own farts, but does he have to drag the rest of us in there with him?

I'm thinking because he sees his value as how many things he can name after himself. It's always Trump Tower, Trump Steaks, Trump Airlines, Trump This, Trump That... he's a very insecure and vain person.

On this Earth Day, let us remember that we are alive on this planet because of the fragile balance that has been cultivated over billions of years that allows life to flourish. And we, as humans, are jumping up and down on the end of the seesaw. I wish more of us took it seriously.

Funny how those who proclaimed to be the most devout in their faith seem to be so easily to shed it in favor for the Cult of Trump. It's almost as if they used their religion as a veneer and not for anything to guide themselves through life.

From NASA: art002e009285 (April 6, 2026) – Our planet draws closer to passing behind the Moon in this image captured by the Artemis II crew during their lunar flyby, about six minutes before Earthset. Earth is in a crescent phase, with sunlight coming from the right. The dark portion of Earth is experiencing nighttime. On Earth’s day side, swirling clouds are visible over muted blue in the Australia and Oceania region.  The lines of small indentations on the Moon’s rugged surface are secondary crater chains. These structures are formed by material ejected during a violent primary impact.

NASA isn't why the US doesn't have universal healthcare, or a social safety net. The US doesn't have those things because politicians with the power to provide them choose specifically not to (with varying levels of support from voters). Enthusiasm for human spaceflight doesn't drive that choice.

Wealth inequality is eating this country alive. Concentrated wealth is already endangering our democracy. Wealth doesn’t just beget more wealth — it begets more power. It’s a vicious cycle that destroys our economy and democracy at the same time.

It's uplifting to see the photos of No Kings protests. However, organized protests won't be enough. We must hit their wallets. Organized boycotts, even at the cost of an easier life for ourselves. They can scoff at the images of protests, but they can't do that to weak quarterly earnings reports

I'm not going to praise Chuck Norris the man. He was MAGA and anti-LGBTQ, so I'm not going to pretend he was a good person. Chuck Norris Facts WERE funny, though. Maybe I will remember those fondly while somberly reflecting on how the man fell so short of being decent to some of his fellow humans
