Numerous reports indicate that Trump may attempt to demolish the Kennedy Center soon. I hope I've done my miniscule part by sending a "strongly worded" email to my two senators and my representative. But, this is Oklahoma, so...

Judge Luttig’s article on what could happen on January 3rd, 2027 is the most important thing you read and understand about how our democracy could be lost. Read it, vote, and, as he suggests, contact your Representative and make sure they know how you feel. newrepublic.com/article/2151...

The current Monopoly was created for a reason! It is derived from The Landlord's Game, created in 1903 in the United States by Lizzie Magie, as a way to demonstrate that an economy rewarding individuals is better than one where monopolies hold all the wealth. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopol...

So the Google Maps now shows Lake Ontario as Lake America but the satellite image of the Whitehouse still shows the intact East Wing. Why would that be…?

An excellent read for my Okie compadres! "Imagine Munson, Franklin, Drummond (and maybe Oklahoma City mayor David Holt, too) on the stump together, agreeing on any number of things that are neither left nor right, but dang good policy the whole state can get behind..." Vote Cyndi Munson in Nov!

What with all the controversy about Nolan's The Odyssey and historical accuracy, nobody has mentioned the problem with the IMAX 70mm version. SI units hadn't been invented yet! It should be referred to as the IMAX 3.68 Daktylos version. You're welcome.

For what its worth... I just wrote my two senators and my congressman. While all 3 have their collective noses firmly up Trump's ass (and my former senator, Markwayne Mullin, is fully encased in his colon), I hope the volume of letters from my fellow travelers will give him pause. Do your duty!

It is so nice to see that the Texas GOP is honest about their twisted logic and bigotry. They flat out told a Muslim man at their convention that he should leave - leave the country! So much Christian love and compassion… www.texastribune.org/2026/06/15/t...
