Speaking up for people isn't that hard. I gave a speech back in March... 10 years ago this month North Carolina passed HB2, the bathroom bill. I was in the second year of my first term in the state house, the election was just a few months away, I voted against HB2.

If you are going to “roll coal” don’t go half assed like this guy. I feel like people who are trying to own the libs these days are just phoning it in. There’s no commitment. There’s no passion. In some ways, I miss people shooting Bud Light and smashing their Keurig machines.

If I were a billionaire I'd buy all the field/arena/bowl game naming rights & name them after the teams that play there or leaving the OG names in place.Wrigley Field,Canes Arena,Orange Bowl (no Capital One).Or name them after my family,Alvin Turner Arena,Virginia Sparks Field,Ernest Mills Stadium.

I'm tired of "our call volume is higher than normal so wait times may be longer usual" when they really mean "we have understaffed our call center to cut costs and you customer experience is of little concern to us"

The two adolescent bears playing looks like past-their-prime boxers coming out of retirement for one last bout. Had to wait for them to finish so I could get to my car.

Watching OG The Running Man movie. It is completely disconnected and a shit version of the book. It is also a peak late ‘80’s early 90’s action movie and a great watch. Both things can be true.

Not every day you get to host a Navy pilot/astronaut/US Senator at your house & I would gladly have Sen. Kelly back again. It is tough when you are in the minority (a feeling I know well) but he is working to hold the line against the overreach of Trump. A pretty awesome human being all around.

First snake of the summer.This was a good size one about 3 1/2 feet long. These are great for rodent control & are just fun to have around the house.They’re non-venomous & even if they were to bite you it’s like getting a scratch from briars.Please don’t hurt or kill them.
