The highs sustain us and the only way to work through the lows is to have HOPE when all else fails- Elyse S Scott "It's Always Something!" #HigherGroundBooks#Amazon/Kindle#B&N

Thank you, Bill! I have never gotten over that "kiss the ring" stunt!

Above all, never let age extinguish the fire of your inner child- s ajna

Ladies and Gentlemen- I give you the leader of the free world!

Never needed a wake up call!!!! Where is Congress, when are the people who actually voted for this monster going to WAKE UP!!!!!!!!?????!!!

Manufactured chaos every day so they can manufacture the clean up!

So much criticism of the Democratic Party these days, though I don't see many proposing who can be our true savior. What about Adam Kinzinger running as an Independent. Credentialed, honest, brave on so many levels.

As an educator for most of my life and someone who did not vote for you-know-who and his birdbrain cabinet, I am sick to my stomach and beyond appalled at the dumbing down of America on so many fronts right before our eyes!

I did a thing this morning. I switched over from my usual cable news to Fox&Friends to see how they were covering El Salvador-gate. I was literally sick to my stomach! Not once did "due process" come up. Simply put they blamed this on Dems who are standing up for a terrorist gang member!

I marched in the Women's March the first time around and participated in Democratic Women against Trump conferences only to see Women's Rights taken away. I want to see these signs in protests now: "Republicans Against Trump" or "I Made a Mistake!" or "I Shouldn't Have Stayed Home on Election Day."

Until voters who elected Not-My-President Trump or any who did not vote at all do some real soul searching and admit their mistake, we are cooked. They are the ones who need to be out in the streets!!!!!!!!!!!

Now Not-My-President Trump is threatening to pull funding from public schools unless they drop DEI programs which, of course, will affect those schools that need the funding the most. As a former teacher of ALL students, this cuts to MY core!!!!!

What amazes me about "Group Chat-Gate" is the shock & awe that it happened! Really?????? I voted with every fiber of my being against what I knew was coming. What is even more disgusting than the act itself is the hypocrisy and what-about-isms that are coming out of the spineless Repulican camp!

Heretofore, I will refer to (you know who) as Not-My-President Trump. I have such Mortification Disgust Syndrome for which there is no antidote other than to become a President Denier!

Part of me supported a shutdown in theory. But the huge blame game on the Democrats would have been a smoke screen and pivot away from the real problems: Trump, Musk, and the spineless, amoral Republicans!

I would be thrilled if the media would stop using the "chain saw" metaphor for Musk and his rat pack....they are normalizing what has become a "meme-ish" reference on social media and in the news. Peoples lives and livelihoods are at stake- call it exactly what it is: complete desecration.

As a retired educator and author of two books on middle level education, I don't know whether to be grateful that I'm retired or wish that I was back in the classroom. This "administration" (what a joke) planning to decimate the Department of Education makes me want to protect kids!!!!

Instead of encouraging those of us who did not vote for Trump to protest in the streets, it's time for those who did to get out there. Republican town halls seem to be shutting down; don't let them silence you!

You are a part of my coping skills!

As a retired educator and now a writer, I am rarely at a loss for words, but "DISGUSTED, BROKENHEARTED, ENRAGED" don't even begin to describe what I am feeling. I am shocked at daily events EVEN FOR HIM! Republicans: FIND YOUR SPINES! And those who voted for him:WAKE UP!

I am going to try to follow my own advice in my book "It's Always Something!" about my path to serenity (still in search of a publisher) At 75 I do not have 4 years to invest in the kind of hand-wringing, anger, and prayer that consumed me the first go around!

Left X-Land today! Just a shout out and hello. Blue skies make me happy!
