CJP🫘 @captjohnparker.bsky.social · 11/10/202612 days til cast comes off. Then 4-6 months til allowed to walk without the "boot". Then 5-6 months until an athlete woud be cleared to play. I'm hoping for a limited hike to a backcountry campsiite in the Smokies.on my 80th birthday. It's an old logging railroad bed,wide, smooth, moderate slope. 010
CJP🫘 @captjohnparker.bsky.social · 01/10/2026So where are those great numbers? Not in the media; maybe on his toy blocks he plays with during executive time... 000

CJP🫘 @captjohnparker.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Is he human? I think he might be an alien in a human skin trying to act human Men in Black 230
CJP🫘 @captjohnparker.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I'm focused on dealing with the aftermath of achlles tendon surgery. It's all the exhaustion I can handle. I'm on the IL. Team's gonna have to win without me. I'm just gonna focus on taking a hike in the Smokies on my 80th BD. 000
CJP🫘 @captjohnparker.bsky.social · 09/09/2026There are plenty of despots in history - Attilla the Hun, Idi Amin, Pol Pot, Mussolini, Hirohito, Adolf Hitler, Donald Trump... They vary in detail but are ALL Morlocks. Left unchecked they would ALL attempt to rule the entire world viciously. Hitler got farther than most. Trump would if permitted. 000
CJP🫘 @captjohnparker.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Not a fan of meta-far from it, but fyi this is from Bing maps a few minutes ago 000
CJP🫘 @captjohnparker.bsky.social · 03/09/2026What the hell. It's my birthday and I have a ruptured achilles, surgery to rebuild my foot in 9 days. 6-12 months recovery. I'm gonna eat all the ice cream I want. 171
CJP🫘 @captjohnparker.bsky.social · 01/09/2026So fugly polluting noisy water stealing, electricity devouring data centers ar.e lovely and belong right there down town but offshore windmills are unsightly and kill all wildlife for miles around and must be banned. Got it. 000
CJP🫘 @captjohnparker.bsky.social · 31/08/2026As was the case withbthecGulf of Mexico, google caves and mapquest stands its ground. I quit using g maps then even tho it has some better features. Give mapquest a try. 000
CJP🫘 @captjohnparker.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Shamelessly copied from Jeff Tiedrich's article this morning. the Welland Canal is the only shipping route from the Canadian side of Lake Ontario to American Great Lakes ports.Over 26 billion dollars’ worth American goods travels through the Canal every year. It is 100% in Canada. 063
CJP🫘 @captjohnparker.bsky.social · 28/08/2026yes, and the many, many "little people" who get no notoriety but keep plugging away within their available sphere of influence to make things a little better for others: teachers, DHS caseworkers, food bank volunteers, medical pros, etc. These are the people who keep me from giving up. 110
CJP🫘 @captjohnparker.bsky.social · 25/08/20264/ This time around we gotta demolish the poison pills in the Constitution. Prairie dogs and cotton fields should not get s vote ! Ah has spoken! 000
CJP🫘 @captjohnparker.bsky.social · 15/08/2026After the devastation he has wrought on their watch a little pragmatism is in order. But some encouraging info; this looks a lot like some sort of spools thst may screw into inserts in smaller holes. Just msybe you unscrew like knobs off a cabinet. Then much less to mask. 110
CJP🫘 @captjohnparker.bsky.social · 05/08/2026That's what's so infuriating. Lots of people who could be standing up for what is right, for the survival of the Great Experiment, opt for self-enrichment, or succumb to threats, rather than emulate E Jean Carroll and poke the bully in the nose. They are the Sunshine patriots Thomas Payne described 000
CJP🫘 @captjohnparker.bsky.social · 22/06/2026Heather Delaney Reese came out and wrote what they all seem afraid to 010
CJP🫘 @captjohnparker.bsky.social · 18/06/20263/3 stupidity is horrifying. That's the half of the population who voted for him. The "journalists" and elected representatives and obscenely rich people who kowtow to him are even worse. 011
CJP🫘 @captjohnparker.bsky.social · 14/06/2026View of back yard from my bedroom. Mature oak/hickory savannah. 000
CJP🫘 @captjohnparker.bsky.social · 14/06/2026Ask me how hard it is going to be selling this after 47 years of woodland, prairie, & wetland restoration. No, wait. Don't ask. Let me just put my head down and keep grinding away to finish all the "someday I gotta..." projects before I hand it off and go to some undefined future who knows where. 300
CJP🫘 @captjohnparker.bsky.social · 31/05/2026🧵5/5 Obviously times have changed, amendments passed so we can never get all the way back to that. But the philosophy should still prevail. Limit lobbying to meeltings in office with transcript. No gifts. None. No trips. No parties. Kill Cit Un. No PACs. Kill one-party rule. Give oversight teeth. 110
CJP🫘 @captjohnparker.bsky.social · 28/05/2026Trump is a vindictive malignant narcissist obsessed with the fact that he has fucked up the entire country &its' standing in the world & everyone, foreign & domestic, knows that & hates him except those those he intimidates or bribes & that Obama and Biden were excellent POTUSes. Ah has spoken. 000
CJP🫘 @captjohnparker.bsky.social · 12/05/2026This is whom the Old South sends to Congress. He probably has one of these license plates 000
CJP🫘 @captjohnparker.bsky.social · 12/05/2026I get these a lot, especially on your feed. Does this mean you blocked them after replying, they deleted their post, or do I have them blocked? 000
CJP🫘 @captjohnparker.bsky.social · 11/05/2026Someone finally got this through to him and it's eating him alive. Along with having been conned by bibi when no other potus was so stupid 000
CJP🫘 @captjohnparker.bsky.social · 07/05/2026Absodamnedlutely. Slavers never gave up. "The South shall rise again" slogan & "forget hell" license plates were common when I was growing up in Tenn. during peak of CR movement. "States rights" was the euphemism for racist hate. You had to watch what you said lest you be branded a "n----- lover." 002
CJP🫘 @captjohnparker.bsky.social · 06/05/2026Illinois has 17 districts. 3 red. Already gerrymandered. The blue ones are relatively small geographically, clustered around Chicago. 12, 15, and 16 are corn/soybeans/red. They COULD be combined into one- they all touch now. But creating 2 more dem districts is a challenge. Pritzker said if needed. 000
CJP🫘 @captjohnparker.bsky.social · 29/04/2026Hey, mike fludd! "Democrats" are duly elected representatives of We the People. If we say don't fuck up our national treasures to satisfy Auric Goldfinger you can stick your arrogant ranting where the sun don't shine. 010
CJP🫘 @captjohnparker.bsky.social · 25/04/2026All of the comments criticising them for having him come be his horrible self could be dispelled in one simple move. Give the guy the award at the dinner, with a big blowup of the picture. Just before he speaks. Sumbitch would do SOMETHING awful. Some kind of tantrum. On camera. 000
CJP🫘 @captjohnparker.bsky.social · 15/04/2026But fully conscious and immobilized by one-side paralysis. With a caregiver like Annie Wilkes in "Misery." 010
CJP🫘 @captjohnparker.bsky.social · 13/04/2026And if that fails, I'll ride in on my namesake, the fabled Irish bull Donn Cuailnge and just take it. 162
CJP🫘 @captjohnparker.bsky.social · 12/04/2026Look st this, JD. There. Now you've seen it. Get back out there and ask what addiional concessions coud get them to go back to the agreement your boss blowed up real good. 000
CJP🫘 @captjohnparker.bsky.social · 11/04/2026Predictable and justifiable. Trump's one-two punch of scrapping the deal that gave a foundation for negotiation on other issues and then attacking brutally demanding they go back to their side of the deal with nothing in return is as untrustworthy as a country could be. We are all complicit. 000
