So, in May it cost me $50 to fill my Subaru Outback tank. This week it cost me $70. Makes me wonder what larger vehicles are paying.

I live in MO (KC) but attend a church affiliated w/ lead pastor, Adam Hamilton in KS. My pastors are educated; 50ish black man & 30ish woman. Hamilton is wise & cares. Let's see what KS is made of. Will they elect decent Hamilton or stick w/ rotten Marshall for Senate?

Speaking of weird fox noise hosts, Harris Faulkner used to be loved in the KC market; pre Fox. She was known to be pleasant & personable. Now she has maga hate face.

I gave up religion as a young adult, but I try to follow spiritual guidelines. My choice. I thought of this new testament verse today when I saw djt's face. "We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair."

Enjoyed watching the Broadway musical, HAMILTON, when it came to my city. I kept thinking there will be a future musical, TRUMP. It will be hysterical, shameful & maddening. We can't sweep maga insanity under a rock.

Passed a retail store selling 250 yr anniversary items. Saw a 'these colors don't run' tee shirt. Wonder if macho Maga understands the only reason DJT didn't run was bone spurs. Guess not.

Question: If Talarico loses TX primary, will he be able to return to TX house? Same w/ Crockett. Will she be able to keep her seat in Congress? I'm thinking about CA's Katie Porter's primary loss - all 3 rising stars in Dem party.

Sis-in-law told hubs (brother) she won't vote trump again. Convenient, 3 votes = 3 strikes. She's 'old time' religious, closed minded & raised repub. Glad she's waking up, but she'll most likely vote maga again. Hubs told her the repub party no longer exists. I'm genuine but civil.

G'Morning. Please & thank you, send energy & kindness to my hubs. Second stroke after prostate surgery. Currently in rehab facility until 2 more weeks. If progress made, he moves to intense rehab. Other less desireable options if little progress. Tough on my athletic hubs.

Extrovert hubs has been in hospital so people have showed up to support him. His 'extended' are conserv evangelicals & hubs & kids are more progressive. We all know how to be civil. Daughter is getting triggered. They were a big art of her childhood. How can they vote maga?

If you read Bari Weiss' biography on Wikipedia, you will quickly realize that she causes controversy and dissension at every media she's worked for. Not a person you'd want to hire for a national main stream TV outlet. Read it.

Been busy lately; out & about. Thinking about all the people I've crossed paths with. Thankful I've never met anyone as horrible as the people in T's administration. Beyond sad that horrible people are leading our country.

trump and the DOJ seem to be waging a personal war against Kilmar Abrego Garcia and wanted to deport him somewhere and this is after trump pardoned a more than a 1000 J6 insurrectionist and is still pardoning so many criminals like Rudy Guiliani !!

Kirk was raised pentecostal. Cringe. I married one & went to his church after marriage. They don't value higher education women were shallow & men angry & closed minded. In general, the meanest people I've met: spiritually superior & under informed. We had a long separation over his cult church.

As the story goes, Scrooge had a special adventure one evening with 3 spirits. What a Wash DC entreprenurial venue this could be: kidnap a favorite evil person for an evening & introduce them to 3 spirits. Involve family, friends, cohorts & actors. (Thinking of you, Kilmead)

SCROOGE'S REPLY TO A CHARITY WORKER - "If they would rather die... they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population." THEN SCROOGE ASKED: . "Are there no prisons? And the workhouses? Are they still in operation?" In an attempt to simplify my life, I accept this reality: It's good v evil.

So, Gov Spencer Cox, UT, claims to have prayed for 33 hrs about Kirk's murderer. If he truly meditated in the presence of a loving, Higher Power, he would be changed & enlightened. Me thinks someone fabricated his sappy story.

Dad was airline employee & often gone at night. Mom died & older siblings moved. Often home alone, dad taught me to shoot a gun & placed one bullet in chamber so no one could wrestle the gun from 105 lb me. Army vet dad taught me violence is bad but if attacked, be fierce. One chance, non-magas.

Wake up, America! "The future election of any Democratic president must be a moment of far-reaching democratic restoration. The clock starts ticking the day after they are elected. Any Democratic president who fails to govern with that reality firmly in mind, must be reckoned a failure."

Priority One For The Next Democratic President Must Be Restoring Democracy
The Biden years were a missed opportunity, but, as Trump’s authoritarian spree shows, Democrats (and democracy) cannot afford another one.
