Old, very old. Old enough to know that what most people romanticize was not a good time for most. If you thought the 1970's were a good time, you either were not there or you were rich.

To honor the 200th anniversary of Jefferson's and Adams's deaths, I made the most American dish: stir fry with hot honey chicken, jalapenos, banana peppers, green onions, and portabello mushrooms on rice. After a day sweating working in the shop, it went down well.

It's a trap. Louisiana is requiring the 10 Commandments posters in all classrooms. But, the writing on them is so small that if the posters are more than a foot above your head on the wall, you cannot read most of it. So why? To get liberals to misbehave so that they can have righteous anger.

I want Trump to be able to run for a 3rd term. Why? Because if he can, so can Obama. Let's have it out: Obama vs. Trump. In fact, let's do it in 2026 so that we have this final showdown before Trump dies.

Worst AI hallucination at the conference was provided by Trump. An imaginary conversation with his uncle about a person his uncle never taught who did not become famous until 11 years after his uncle died. Why is the media not focusing on this dementia instead of Epstein?

Did you get the e-mail from the SSA? Telling me what a great thing the spending bill was because it would not tax my Social Security. I will never see Social Security payments. Good to know that they will not be taxed.

Here is something I found out yesterday: you cannot get a COVID vaccine shot but once a year unless you are immunocompromised or in another group that is seen as high risk. We know that the immunity wanes after 4 months, but the CDC no longer recommends a shot but once a year. Great.

Secretary of Defense drinks before noon. HHS Director has taken heroin, among other drugs. U.S. Attorney of D.C. is a known wino who brags about it on Fox. Is this the most drugged up administration since JFK? For someone who claims to be clean, Trump sure does appoint drug addicts.
