And speaking of pre-Dallas, I believe nothing portrays what we lost better than this picture.

Siri, show me the perfect Christmas present for nieces and nephews that you’d never get for your own children.

One of the most moving and revealing pictures of him, from the 1952 campaign for the presidency.

When he was a kitten, he earned the name “Judge,” for his habit of sitting apart and watching as I was playing with his crazy siblings. One time he even came up on the arm of the sofa when I was waving a toy with the other kittens — and he softly tapped my forearm to tell me I was being too crazy.

I wonder if our esteemed Secretary of “War“ has ever visited a battlefield site, or even read a book about the Civil War.

See what your “easy” war (Oh, I forgot — your “excursion”) on Iran has led to, Orange Dumbass? The war is spreading and threatening to merge with Russia-Ukraine. www.msn.com/en-us/news/o...

The party of child rapist defenders is also the party of child genital inspectors. Vote Blue all the way down the line. Not one single Republican should get your vote.

Asking again, @bsky.app — FIX THIS!!!! I’ve been seeing this for at least two months. “Retry” does jack shit.

Dear Shitbag: @ilhanmn.bsky.social Ilhan Omar, to pick just one such person, is a thousand times better American than you, and a BILLION times better human being. Likewise, the Haitian refugees downstate in Springfield, who do more work in a single day than you’ve done your whole miserable life.

Similar situation, in reverse, with Joe, the maintenance guy at Baldwin Wallace’s Conservatory of Music. He’s loved by students because he greets them and talks to them every day. He’s loved by faculty because he’s exceedingly competent. 1/5
