Senator Eric Schmitt is sitting home in front of his TV, confused as to why the Ohio State Buckeyes are playing football against the Atlanta Hawks.

President Trump is going to be touting his good economy before the midterms. My retirement accounts have dropped about $8000 in the last month, and I expect they will sink further by then.

The President wants to make major improvements to Dulles Airport, now if he could only think of a “great” American to rename the airport after. Watch. I imagine that will be coming soon.

I may have found something in the Federal Government that wasn’t ruined by this administration. I called the Office of Personnel Management to get a copy of my Mother’s 1099R from 2025. The woman I talked to was very nice and was helpful. She said that that I should receive it in 7 to 10 days.

The gym is always interesting. Today there’s a man working out in long pants and a sweater. With a MAGA hat, of course

I get to the airport at the exact right time every time. Anyone arriving any earlier than me is a sap, anyone arriving any later is a reckless nut.

Octavia E. Butler, 1998:
From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING

Choose your leaders

with wisdom and forethought.

To be led by a coward

is to be controlled

by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool


is to be led

by the opportunists

who control the fool.

To be led by a thief

is to offer up

your most precious treasures

to be stolen.
To be led by a liar


is to ask

to be told lies.

To be led by a tyrant

is to sell yourself

and those you love

into slavery.

In the TrumpII era, prices are going up. One thing that isn’t, my retirement accounts. On paper I’m several thousand dollars poorer this week than last week!

Our daughter has the Alexa that gives her AI descriptions of what is on her Ring cameras. She was taking her greyhound outside and Alexa told her there was someone with a bicycle outside. Then it said there was a fox on her deck…it was a red squirrel.

Now that Sky Marshall Bovino may be retiring, he will donate his fascist uniforms to the doll clothing museum in Worthington, Ohio.

A new assignment for Sky Marshall Bovino, he will be commanding his border patrol agents on Klendathu looking for illegal bugs.

If Greg Bovino was present at the grabbing of Liam Ramos, the 5 year old would have probably kicked his ass.

One good thing that might come from ICE grabbing a 5 year old, is that hopefully after J.D. Vance’s statement defending it, it will hopefully end his political career.

President Trump hasn’t really been able to boost the US economy very much, but the Minneapolis area car window replacement industry is booming!

Usually when real police are involved in a shooting, their name is revealed. But here the Federal agent is masked and has no identification. Will we ever know his name? Will there be an investigation?

I’m amazed that the government shut-down continues even though the Senate Republicans have tried everything they can think of to get the support of more Democrats. I mean, short of actually trying to negotiate with them, of course.

I’m not so sure that the Trump Halloween party was Great Gatsby themed. More like New Years 1921 at the Overlook Hotel.

In a clerical mix-up, Trump agrees to send 40 billion dollars to George Santos.
