So, Mad King Donnie disappears for days on end and and is a physical wreck, Nazi proselytize Steven Miller is shouting about imaginary insurrection, Pam Bondi fighting with Senators, and the rest of the clown riot is running amok! I am SO tired of this!

I gave my copy of the Constitution (pocket edition) to my grandson so he can check for himself if what he hears about laws and how government is supposed to work is in the Constitution. I got another copy from Amazon, so I am also ready to fact check. It's a WONDERFUL hobby!

I am SO SICK of the crap in America, I am going to talk about Ukraine. Why? Because Ukraine is OWNING the battle space against Russia and North Korea! I just watched a video where Ukraine executed a classic standard pattern minefield trap which destroyed a 170-unit NK mech force IN MINUTES! Yes!

Shots fired! This time it's right wing commentator Charlie Kirk. Who will be next? MAGA and the Trump regime have brought this about! We haven't seen levels of intimidation and violence since Civil Rights and Vietnam War protests. People, it is HERE! DUCK AND COVER!

We need an HHS Secretary who respects science and does not make policy based on conspiracy theories. Vaccines are safe and effective. Kennedy is threatening the health of our kids and all Americans. He must resign.

Hey, everybody! Heads up! Amazon is changing their content access to be based on subscriber location. I find this unacceptable! I tried to complain but got trapped in an AI loop that tried to charge me $5 for tech support. SCREW THAT!

This man was courageous enough to stand up to Trump and Vance. So it's important to post this message and photo to 27 million people. Don't just "like" it -- that only means that YOU'VE seen it. Postb it, blow it up and get it out there! #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦

It's easy to get things wrong on live television, and you often don't realize your mistakes until afterwards. Tony Soprano was far more honest, trustworthy, decent, honorable, moral, and intelligent than Trump. My sincerest apologies to Carmela, Meadow, and A.J. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

It's a sad day for the jalapeno. Temperatures have been high the last few days and it suffered scorched leaves. It has dropped most of the leaves but the stem looks strong. We'll see if it recovers. Stay tuned for more drama.

Here's a thought for those enthusiastically joining ICE. We have had bands of hooded and masked terrorists roaming the countryside before, the Ku Klux Klan. THERE WILL BE CONSEQUENCES! Not a threat. A statement of history.

Forgive me while I engage in some fan worship: 1) Heather Cox Richardson, my No.1 goto for United States history. Thanks, lady, for keeping me grounded! 2) Roy Casagranda is a very close 2nd, with the added advantage of world history! 3) The remaining history providers for filling in the gaps!

It seems something similar is happening now. Trump's MAGA has spent decades setting up to fight against the liberal concensus, leading to a feeling of the loss of Heaven's Mandate. In other words, it is a grand propaganda scheme leading us to failure. So, what will we do? 2F

Here's a wild thought. I have been reading up on Chinese Imperial history on YouTube (so you KNOW my fact base is solid.) They operated under something called the Mandate of Heaven, which I understand means something like having popular support. 1/

OMG! I just heard that Fortunate Son was played during Mad King Donnie's birthday parade. I thought that any protest would be met with great force, so why didn't anyone nuke the PA. I LOVE the irony that MKD is so tone deaf he doesn't get it! Ha ha haaaaa!

I have a dream, that on June 14,2025 when tanks roll down the streets of Washington, D.C., the crowds will quiet because they are small. I have a dream that NO KING rallies will be unmolested, because of not enough troops to suppress their speech. I have a dream that Congress WAKES UP!!!

I was in the Army when Kent State went down, and in the Indiana National Guard a few years later. We were trained on crowd control techniques. We used batons. My question: how soon will firearm be deployed? My bet is sooner rather than later.

I am feeling glimmers of hope after this last week. The America I know and love is stirring, starting to wake up. The last time I felt this was in the mid-60s, when the Civil Rights movement exploded, along with Vietnam. It's gonna be bumpy and exciting!

I have sitting here, trying to think of something positive to say about Mad King Donnie, and I think I may have something! MKD is the first US President to completely satirize himself. Eh?

This is my recently acquired Gaura plant. When I bought the plant, the tall stem were covered with pink blossoms. The blossoms have mostly fallen away and new stem growth has appeared. Fascinating!

The effect I was going for was logical transition from the patio garden to the dry landscaping of the compound. I'm happy with it.

To complete the patio garden we have pepper plants, a hanging strawberry basket, and of course, wind chimes. Life is good!

@sharedumbrellas.bsky.social HI, everyone. My grandson was diagnosed as autistic a dozen years ago. He graduates high school in June with a 4.0 gpa, through the support of family and educational support from the State of California. I believe I too am autistic but never tested.

Poor ElMu, and getting poorer by the minute, is suffering a surprising side effect of the tariffs: Canada is running a campaign promoting Canadian cars over Tesla, along with a targeted tariff, making Tesla sales in Canada to plunge. Life's tough, huh?
