A very Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers, stepmothers and anyone who has ever been a mother figure in the life of another (even fur baby mothers). Have a wonderful day.

With the PLB’s latest rudeness to the Pope, I think maybe all officials from the US government should be declared persona non grata in the INDEPENDENT country of the Vatican.

I put on hand lotion every time I wash my hands, which, being a retired RN with a background in infectious disease, is many times a day. Despite all the lotion my fingertips are peeling and splitting; just like my nails thanks to my chemo. October can’t get here soon enough.

And, there it is.....one BILLION taxpayer dollars are going to be taken out of the treasury for the construction of the illegal ballroom. We all knew it was coming because, well, because TACO specifically said that no tax dollars were going to be used and we all know HE LIES.

Not generally one to advertise but, I have osteoarthritis throughout my body, a result of a life lived full speed. My SI joints are the worst. I could barely get out of a chair & stand straight up until I started using this. Now I’m pain free most of the day.

New scam. Email from Wayne Cty (Detroit) Traffic Div. Issued April 19, received May 3rd. Apparently I have multiple traffic tickets & need to appear in court today if I don’t pay the fines immediately. No mention of how much or where to pay except in person. Supposedly they have been trying to

collect & I’m now delinquent. Oh, they have provided a QR code for me to pay for evading a toll, parking & speeding. Never mind I’ve not been in Wayne county since my BFF’s father’s funeral in the late 1980’s.

I know it’s really not a huge issue for most but, as a former English major & proofreader, the proliferation of grammar, punctuation & spelling errors in media, online & off just makes me grind my teeth. Especially when it’s an actual online news outlet such as MLive.

Call me crazy but, I think that Congressional districts should be determined by computer. Feed in population facts, not political affiliation, and let the districts be determined FAIRLY.

I’m gobsmacked by how many Canadians who 1) think ⅓ of US citizens means all of us and 2) apparently don’t know shit about how the US system of government works. I guess the fact that my family & friends in Canada do understand had me fooled into believing that Canadians, in general, were smarter

I’ve watched the Kentucky Derby for more than 60 years. That was the most entertaining and exciting race I’ve ever seen and the best ride by a jockey. Last to first at 23-1 odds. Wow.

Am I being unreasonable? I spent $200 and 2 hours reseeding my front lawn. My neighbor is demanding I mow my yard now, before the seed has even sprouted. I told him that, unless he’s willing to pay for sod, he’s just going to have to be patient. He says I’m being a bad neighbor.

I bought this out of desperation to find ANYTHING to help with the pain I have in my SI joints and lower back. I had no great hopes. Darned if it isn’t helping! After just one use my back felt better. I’m using it essentially twice a day, & after stressing my back. Wish I had found it sooner.

Hindsight, I know. But I am one of those people who always has, at least, a plan B. I’m amazed at the number of businesses that don’t. Case-in-point: European airlines. They get 75% of their fuel via the Strait of Hormuz. No alternative. Goes to putting all your eggs in one basket.

They need to sue Trump but they also need to follow Canada’s lead. It’s amazing to me that Canada & Canada were able to shift gears so quickly when Trump screwed over our best friends. Thank Mark Carney & the resilience of Canada & Canadians.

Someone really needs to let the Whiny Little Bitch (WLB) in the White House that 1) it’s mostly him & his illegal immigrant wife who don’t find Kimmel funny & 2) it’s actually illegal to fire someone just because someone else doesn’t like what they said; even if it’s the WLB in the oval office.

Really, could one of his minions PLEASE explain that he can’t legally overrule the Constitution and also explain the amendments to WLB?

With a FREEZE warning tonight and tomorrow, protecting my strawberry plants (already in bloom) is this afternoon’s priority.

Anyone else think that, if the PLB decides to use taxpayer dollars to pay for the illegal ballroom, he will then pocket the money that was donated? For someone with so much money, he acts like he’s destitute; constantly asking for donations & running his scams.

So, the PLB is now threatening to take ABC off the air. I’m thinking all the companies that have huge sums of money invested won’t take kindly to this. Oh, and he’s considering now using taxpayer dollars to fund the ballroom. His FTD is clearly progressing.

Idea: all countries (with the exception of Russia & North Korea) permanently refuse entry to any American with a DJT passport as well as anyone accompanying them. Can you imagine some corporate ass with one getting himself AND his boss, banned world-wide? Just the thought makes me smile.

So, based on the illegal ruling by the SCOTUS, Republicans are going to redraw districts in all states they control. I guess they forgot that the Democratic states can do the same. Bring it on, assholes. We liberals will NOT give up.

A reason the opening of the Gordie Howe Bridge is delayed is because crossings are down. Gee, I wonder why? Why would ANYONE want to visit the US? Of course, the real reason is that Canada owns the bridge & the Maroun family, who own the Ambassador Bridge are supporters of the PLB in the oval office

Goodness I love Jeff. Never minced words.

Republicans are now telling us Donny needs his vulgar Epstein Dance Hall™ because his own personal safety is the "number one job of government." fuck that shit and fuck it hard. thank you for your attention to my post in which I explain what's REALLY the number one job. link is here: bit.ly/48YrOOw

Anyone else find it rather hypocritical that King Charles 111 is so chummy with the PLB despite the latter’s known friendship with Epstein yet booted his own brother out of the family for being friendly with Epstein?? I’ve lost any respect for Charles at this point.

Someone help me with this. My thought is, the UAE leaving OPEC is not a bad thing. In fact, disbanding OPEC entirely would be a good thing. It would mean creating competition between the countries to sell their oil thus reducing prices because the countries buying oil would buy from the country 1/2

Offering the lowest price. This would force the other countries to lower prices to compete. Yes, they would have to charge enough to stay in business but it would still benefit the non-oil producers. Or is this just too simplistic? I’m trying to find something positive in the world right now.

Best point I’ve heard made: the PLB is using the shooting to push why he needs the ballroom to stay safe. What about the rest of us? ADDRESS THE ACTUAL ISSUES OF GUNS & MENTAL HEALTH, Mr. Trump. You aren’t the only one who matters.

So, the shooter in DC specifically left Patel off his list of targets. So, now I wonder; is Kash happy he’s not important enough to be a target or upset he’s not important enough to be a target.

If it was up to me, Patel would be out regardless of whether the drinking accusations were true or not due to the optics. But, he’s safe for now. The PLC still has at least 2 women to sack: Tulsi, Susie….hope you have new jobs lined up.

So, Texas & the PLB (petty little bitch) tried to fix election outcomes with gerrymandered. And it backfired GLORIOUSLY. Pretty sad for a man who claims to be the most intelligent person on the planet.

There was no “security failure.” It worked very well. The gunman was kept on a different floor with NO ACCESS to the PLB POTUS & his minions. It’s a hotel. If they wanted the entire building to themselves they should have held it at the KENNEDY Center. There is NO NEED for a fucking ugly ballroom.

The very fact that the PLB is making sure the law forcing release of the Files is totally ignored tells us all just how bad (ok, hints...it could be MUCH, MUCH worse than any of us can imagine) the information in the Files is.....he's scared to death of it getting out.
