I’m no marketing expert but I wish CVS was more like Trader Joe’s and was a place you could buy toiletries and candy at a reasonable price. All the buy one, get one 50% less makes me think I’m paying twice as much for the thing as I should. Then again, they’re the ones with a store in every block.

www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/... I really don't understand why President Trump wastes time with this AI/SI jazz when he needs to address something much more pressing, the Potato - Potahto, Tomato -Tomahto issue, so we can finally call the whole thing off.

He's probably the only head of state that likes this stuff (red carpets, fly-overs, troop reviews, state dinners, parades, fanfares, etc.), so why does Trump look so miserable? Let me loose in a doughnut shop and I'd be grinning ear to ear.

There was a peace deal? I know of a few-sentence memorandum of understanding between Iran and the U.S. with negotiations to take place for 60 days and with the U.S. capitulating on nearly every issue and then violating almost every term of it nearly immediately. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/13/w...

Trump:I saw the flames in the Twin Towers and I knew that the high temperature of jet fuel would melt the steel supports of the buildings. I called the chief of the firemen, they call him "chief." I told Chief to lower the temperature with Chloroquine or Oreo-chloroquine, but due to TDS, he refused.

The head of the UAE ratted out Hamas to Israel before Hamas’s revolt against their occupation. It never doesn’t amaze me how the Arab states work against the liberation of the Arab people. How is it the only friendly nation to the Palestinian people is Persian Iran - and 2 Shiite sects?

I watched Rosemary Kelanic and John Mearsheimer on Switzerland - www.youtube.com/watch?v=rA7p... Fascinating that Dr. Kelanic's June 2025 NYT Op Ed forecasting the horrors to the US of attacking Iran does not mention the Strait of Hormuz. Attacking was dumb enough even without factoring in Hormuz.

It seems to me that the same type of people who ginned up the 30,000 Iranian protestors killed by the regime, Iranians cannot store oil for more than 3 weeks without breaking their pipes, and that Iran's munitions are all destroyed, are now ginning up that most Gulf oil is getting past the Iranians.

Trump: It costs $40 to visit the U.S.S. Midway. The sea soldiers get to be on a better carrier, the Lincoln, and even sleep on it, like Night at the Museum. They actually get paid to be on it and get free food which looks like more than you get at Thanksgiving at Mar-a-Lago. It's just dumocrat TDS.

I’m on a small-ship Alaska cruise with my son; our boat rescued a stranded vessel last night and apparently we did that after the Coast Guard radioed Mark Zuckerberg’s yacht - which was closer - and they repeatedly refused to respond. (There was near unanimous booing when the captain announced this)

I'll only say this if you promise not to react. After supporting the Gaza genocide, USAID erasure, no concerns about the Minab school attack, SNAP, Medicaid, and ACA cuts in the OBBBA, child separations, Head Start cuts, and the blue bunny, I feel now like maybe Republicans may be bad for children.
