Agents of Influence by Henry Hemming. This is a fascinating read that should remind Americans that we are not really an isolated island. We need our Allies & they need us. Churchill was determined to get us into WWII by any means. This book tells us what those means were. #WWII #Spy #Britian

Creasy sleeping. He's such a great little kitty. He and Bentley like to lay against my legs.

In case anyone needs a history lesson. The Founding fathers (who did not make it official) preferred E pluribus unum - out of many, one.

If I die unexpectedly from an accident, it will be his fault. A.J. follows me everywhere and is so quiet, I forget he's there. Three times today, I turned around and nearly fell over him. (His tail is blurry because the only time it isn't wagging is when he's asleep)

Do you ever wonder if the real reason we don't do anything about school shootings is because manufacturers can't make money off of the school systems? #Capitalism #SchoolShootings

@jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social Are you really interviewing Trump today? You're not going to meet the evil one alone, are you? Be careful and have your lawyer on speed dial.

Look, all this pump and dump is making the rich richer. Do NOT sell your stock cheap so some rich guy can buy it and sell it high. If you do not have to take money out of your account, DON'T.

1. This proves what I've known about him. He's a big baby. He's just like every incel and every bigoted, sexist, racist yt male. Nothing going on but victim. 2. This is great news, maybe we can stop the undermining of our government workers from uneducated buffoons.

Tesla is down (as of this post) $137 for the year. That's 35% of it's value. The stock doesn't pay a dividend. That means you only profit if you bought low & sell high. I'm not a stock broker, but why would I give a company my money & not get anything back. I'll stick with my Ford Stock. Thank you.

Is it wrong that this isn't my cat, but I don't want to give him back? He's such a sweetheart. I know at some point, his mom will get better and be able to take care of him, but my heart will break 💔. I feel that way about his big brother, too.

This is A.J. He's been snoring and making weird noises all night. Anyone else have a Beagle that sounds like this? Also, isn't it creepy on how they can sleep with their eyes open?

We cannot let Trump and his Nazi Minions kill DEI and Black History. American history is the history of the Black Americans who, as slaves, built this country. However; white men and some ignorant white women do not want the history of Black Americans to be taught to their tiny feelings children. 1

Take Unilever off the brands that do good. They fired the CEO because they want Ben & Jerry's to toe the company line, which is to pull away from social issues. youtube.com/shorts/gdC_i...

I thought you might like to hear about the ongoing Ebony adventures. She broke my bedroom blinds. But, she did it behind the TV, so I wouldn't notice. This way she can hide and look out the window.

Why is it that every time a white guy fails at something those of us who are not white guys are to blame? This brewery failed because they wrapped hate inside the American flag and people didn't buy it. This backlash against Dignity, Equity, and Inclusion won't end well for them.

I love Steve Hofstetter comedy.He was kind to grant me - a nobody - an interview that I loved. I admire him because of this. Because his convictions are worth more than money. Maybe, when I grow up, I can be like Steve. I hope my grandchildren become like Steve. youtube.com/shorts/Nygxr...

Being a white, straight male does NOT automatically make you a better fit for ANY position. PERIOD. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion does NOT mean not qualified. It means that when two candidates who are equally qualified, consideration is given to the one who is a minority.

Interesting fact: Archibald Cox, the first special prosecutor for the Watergate investigation, is the great-grandson of William M. Evarts who was Andrew Johnson's defense council during his impeachment trial. (Information from page 69 of Dark Genius of Wall Street by Edward J. Renehan, JR) #History

Bentley is on the move. He's put his body on my ankle. I wonder if he's working up to sleeping on my legs

Bentley no longer sleeps with his head under my chin. At 4 years and nearly 17 pounds, he thinks he's too big. But, he likes to sleep and touch me. His chin is on my ankle.

I have an idea. If you are Black, LatinX, Mixed race, LGBTQ, or another minority I have missed and you could chose one or two books you would want another people to read to better understand your history, your experiences, what book(s) would that be?
