Friends, if the weather folks get this right, we Southerners are going to not only be running for “Bread and Milk” we’ll be heading to the “Liquor and Beer” stores!

The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday allowed President Donald Trump's administration to withhold for now about $4 billion needed to fully fund a food aid program for 42 million low-income Americans. Chief Justice John Roberts, who issued the stay, set it to expire in two days.

Dear readers: Seeing a massive surge in Anti-NYC, our states are full, and hate posts? Then you are seeing the first signs of “ataque de nervios”. Beware:Those rants and raves are fearing: The Epstein Files, their seats in 2026, and losing. They are trying to instill fear, hatred and distrust.

Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-N.J.) defeated former New Jersey General Assembly member Jack Ciattarelli (R) in the New Jersey governor’s race, securing a major win for Democrats

CNBC: "Very disappointing. The private sector jobs for September total comes in negative 32,000. And that was a surprise because economists were looking increases. Also, August was revised down sharply, the month showing negative 3,000 compared to the initial read of positive 54,000 “

I’m not asking you to kiss me. I won’t even ask you to hug me when I need it most. I won’t even ask you to tell me you miss me. I won’t ask you to care about me when my soul is down. I won’t ask you to do anything, not even be by my side forever. Because if I have to ask you, I don’t want it anymore

With barriers to home ownership, job instability, economic stagnation and the relationship of hard work and prosperity having severed, the average American is adrift politically. Add an online media ecosystem that trades in attention and feeling, and you have an environment ripe for political change

For the record, our division commander BANNED things called “presence patrols” in Iraq. “If you don’t have a specific task & purpose, your ‘presence’ doesn’t do anything.” National Guard stating they are now doing presence patrols in DC. A complete waste of soldier’s time & effort.

BREAKING NEWS: Former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan that he has left the GOP and joined the Democratic Party. He made the announcement in an op-ed headlined “From Republican Lt. Governor To Democrat: Loving My Neighbor Is Easier Now.” Stay tuned the POSotus and MTG rants forthcoming……….

Trump fired the labor statistics chief after a weak jobs report. How much more do people need to see how out of control he is. This is authoritarianism. Is this really what you voted for? He and his administration’s minions are helping make the case for wholesale change in November 2026 and 28.

Trump Is Now Running the Worst Economy Since His Last Term in Office How that Golden Age working out for everyone?? Yeah. I thought you’d say that……

There was an orange man in DC town And he thought himself so wise He thought he could hide his sorted past And watched his popularity vanish before his eyes But when he saw they wanted him out With all his might and main He tried to distract their attention from it And just pissed them off again

"I don't care a straw for your newspaper articles; my constituents don't know how to read, but they can't help seeing them damned pictures!" - William “Boss” Tweed on the political cartoonist Thomas Nash attacks on his corruption and crimes in 1880s. Truth through art always wins!

A House Oversight subcommittee voted Wednesday to subpoena the Department of Justice to release the Jeffrey Epstein files. The motion passed by a vote 8-2. Notably, three GOP lawmakers, Reps. Nancy Mace, Scott Perry and Brian Jack, joined Democrats defying Republican leadership. What now Mikey??

See Donnie. See Donnie run. Run, Donnie run from the bad man’s list. See Mikey. See Mikey hide. Hide, Mikey hide and help Donnie too. They’ll sure try and wait them out. But the people following all shout: WE INSIST! RELEASE THE LIST! Run, hide, fly like a bird, But we’ll be heard on November 3rd!

The youth of Japan have voted out traditional politicians in three elections and elected people who want reforms in taxation, inflation, a living wage for workers, restrictions on immigration, and a break with the political status quo of stagnation. Such a political tsunami is heading to the US ..…

Rep. Mark Green (R-Tenn.) has resigned from the House, further shrinking the GOP’s narrow majority in the chamber. Another GOP seat in Tennessee available. We need to work to make sure it’s occupied by someone who believes in serving their constituents ahead of their party and the President.

There was a crooked man,
And he told tales that were vile,
He wanted to build crooked border fence, But no one would pay for more than a mile; So he hired a gnome with vigilantes ,
Who grabbed innocents in their house,
Cause they didn’t care for due process,
In their messed up White House.

New polls puts Trump's approval rating at 42%, with disapproval at 58%. The survey previously found Trump's approval rating was 45% in June and 47% in April Also 41% of Americans approved of the administration's immigration policies while 51% disapprove I wonder how he’ll take this news????😂

Tend your heart like sacred woodlands Nestle roots in soil of your own, Build with the love that springs from within For true abode is not alone In others, find the warmth of friendship But guard your hearth with gentle care For while connection is a treasure, Your spirit’s home is the soul you bear

Mould me gently with your hands shape, The world around us, as clay in your grip, Love's tender touch, never let skip, Your heart crafts wonders, love's sweet escape. With each caress, life's starts to remake, In the dance of fingers, passions do not slip, Dreams awaken where once shadows would dip

Two Democratic senators unveiled a bill to unmask ICE agents. The president responded by insisting that lawmakers “hate our country.” Vigilantes, terrorist, criminals, and others who have nefarious intentions wear masks This cause is close to my heart -please sign: sign.moveon.org/petitions/un...

sign.moveon.orgMandate that ICE agents show their face and identification!ICE agents—without identification—are detaining people in plain clothes and wearing masks—stoking widespread fear, confusion, and distrust. This is not normal. And it’s not only cowardly, it’s dangero...

Breathe out your worries and let them just be Embrace the sweet sanctity of simply being free Cherish the moments, both big and quite small For they shape who you are, they matter, each one, all And when you feel full, like a well that won’t dry You’ll pour out your essence, let your spirit fly high

The Republican’s in Congress think the American people are stupid. Their strategy for the midterms is to campaign on individual pieces of the bill that poll well and ignore the provisions that are less popular. You all voted for the entire“Big Beautiful Bill” in its entirety without hesitation.

For anyone confused, FEMA is overseen by DHS, their function is 90% planning and preparedness, not only showing up to hand you a check When leaders don’t plan, fund, or take preparedness seriously, the consequences are worse than they would have been. Demand that your leaders take responsibility!

Behind every storm front is a rainbow Whether seen or unseen, Through violent winds or a gentle breeze, Hope glimmers bright and keen. Clouds may gather, shadows may loom, Yet colors dance in the spray, In every heart, a promise blooms, For the light will chase this dark away.

The Milky Way, a silver stream A cosmic river, like a fantasy dream Its stardust spills on leaves below A gentle, silent, starry glow Forever bright, far from the falls shore. #photography

The world is hushed, a canvas painted gray, Before the sun decides to make its mark. My loyal dog, a shadow by my side, And I, we venture to the waiting beach. The sand is cool and damp beneath our feet, I loose the leash, and with a joyful bark, I watch him run, a pure and simple joy #photography

The clock says go The coffee's slow Just another Monday. The emails pile A weary smile Just another Monday. The day will end Around the bend Just another Monday. #photography

Summer's sun, a golden prize, Testify, the blue skies. Slow days drift, a gentle ease, Sweet fruits ripen in the breeze. Blessed warmth, a joyful hum #photography

Lift your gaze, see the blossoms pushing through cracks in the pavement, the laughter of children, each moment a reminder, that joy is a choice, woven in the fabric of now. Breathe deep, let the breeze carry your worries away, for the dawn whispers, “what comes next is brighter. ” #photography
