Weird. I wouldn’t piss on Trump’s scalp is his hair was on fire, but he’s calling on me as one of his most trusted supporters.

I am a person of religious faith. Every evening, I thank God that I wasn’t made a twisted fool like Donald Trump.

I am Elon’s liver.

This is barbaric. Pike has been executed - twice - and survived. Let’s call it a fucking day and commute her sentence to life in prison without parole. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Trump is kowtowing to Xi. Weird.

The federal judiciary was not designed to restrain a lawless autocrat, time after time after time ad infinitum. Dealing with a lawbreaking autocrat was intended to be Congress’ job, one and done.

Heard at today’s Episcopal sermon: “God can seem cosmic and abstract, but look at your neighbors They are right there. Focus on loving them and you won’t be far off.” And: “We crave justice - especially when it’s administered righteously on the other person - but what we need is grace.”

I lived 70 years before I heard the term “Smash Burger” but now that’s all I hear. Where did this term come from and why is it ubiquitous now? #Hamburger

In one word, "America today is _________."

Moderate Democrats Prepare for ‘War’ Against an Ascendant Left www.nytimes.com/2026/08/06/u... It’s so on-brand that an establishment Democratic Party organization is using big money to attack its enemies - other Democrats.

Our priest’s sermon was on Jesus feeding the multitude with a basket of bread and a few fish. OK, another Jesus Miracle like Lazarus from the dead? Maybe. Our priest suggested that perhaps Jesus inspired the people to share their food generously without reservation. Also a miracle - and a lesson.

I guess it’s good that the public is interested in Homer’s work, but some of the comments are . . . well, consider Elon Musk’s statement that his Grok Imagine will produce an “historically accurate” version of The Odyssey. What does that even mean? Will Polyphemus’ eye be blue instead of hazel? WTF?

Serious Question - Have there always been so many shitty misogynists and bigots in America as we see today, or has the internet and MAGA created them?

Independence Day is wreaking havoc with my psyche. This country is really fucked up. I think the candle has been snuffed. The light is out.

Former NOAA Employees Revive Climate Site Shut by Trump Administration www.nytimes.com/2026/06/23/c... I dedicated my career to NOAA.

I’m a Christian. I believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ. The enemies of Christ today aren’t the Romans or the Pharisees. No, the enemies of Christ are the self-professed Christians that mistake power for service. This is our problem as Christians. We need to resist this distortion of the Word.

I can divide my life into different segments - before/after marriage, before/after children, yada yada yada. One division line is contracting cancer. Before cancer, I was selfish. Yes. After cancer, I feel more generous and forgiving. Is this a consequence of glimpsing my mortality? #Cansky #Oncosky

The USA waged another failed war. That’s no surprise at all. In fact, it’s a modern pattern. Military prowess doesn’t ensure strategic victory.

I love this motorcycle. #motosky #motorcycle #motorbike #ducati

Just finished replacing the clutch on my 1998 Ducati 900SS FE. New Oberon slave, Spiegler line, pushrod, basket, hub, plates, pressure plate and cover. It’s perfect! #motorcycle #motorcycles #Ducati #Ducatis

THIS is the president that the framers warned us about. Virtually all Republicans are riding the Crazy Train until the pain associated with following this authoritarian regime is worse than the pain associated with exercising independence. So far, so bad. The midterm elections will tell the story.

The United States of America is in deep decline. I’m 72 years old, and the indices of current decline are obvious. Let’s not get into the details. I will be dead before too long, so I am largely irrelevant. Hey, young people, what sort of country do you want? It’s up to you. There are options.

We Christians have committed and are still committing atrocities in the name of out god. I apologize. This is our problem, but too few Christians recognize it.

When I was a young man (I’m 72 now) from a working class household, I wanted to buy a house. Public policy afforded me a path to my goal, even if I had to be patient. Policy encouraged wealth creation and it worked for me. Nowadays, I feel that public policy focuses on wealth preservation. #deadend

86 47.

One cancer at a time. #cansky #oncosky #cancer_bs

Even if this seems like complaining, it’s the truth. After my gastrectomy for cancer, eating sucks. Meals used to be social events at which I enjoyed the company of friends and family, but now eating is a chore to be completed without distraction. Fuck cancer. Fuck food. #cansky #oncosky #Cancer

The world is frightened by this America. I am too. I am an American.

Don’t blame me. I voted for the smart Black woman.

I’m a Christian. I believe in the grace of God and in God’s son, Jesus Christ. My parents taught me to love God, love others, and to love myself. I see none of this love and devotion - the principle of Christianity - in Donald Trump. If we know him by his works, Donald Trump is a charlatan.

Conservatives, vote for the Democratic Party candidates in November. It’s a reset. Give cover for Republicans to distance themselves from Trump and MAGA. After MAGA is discredited, vote for whoever you want, but let’s isolate MAGA.

The sad part is that it won’t be deportations, defunding medical research, environmental deregulation, conflict of interest, sex crimes, abandoning Ukraine and undermining western security treaties. It will be the economy, as it always is. America isn’t a country; it’s a business. #MAGAStupidity

True Believers share an unshakable belief - faith - that they play their roles in a soul-stirring drama played to a vast audience now and in generations yet to come. Facts are unimportant. Their place in the epic generational progress of their chosen movement is what matters to them. Facts do not.
