Soooo, Trump calls Tim Waltz names, and says he “might” call him, after the tragedy in Minnesota. Governor Waltz, if Trump does call, don’t take the call. Comfort the families, visit the wounded, and ignore that Dreamsickle colored blowhard.

Trump Campaign Quote: “Before I even arrive at the Oval Office, shortly after we …win the presidency,we will have the horrible war between Russia and Ukraine settled. ….The war is going to be settled.I’ll get them both.I know Zelenskyy, I know Putin. It’ll be done within 24 hours, you watch.”

My friend died.She was 80.We had been friends for 45 yrs.We talked every day.At her funeral people said “She lived a good, long life.” Yeah,well, that doesn’t comfort me.I won’t see her name when the phone rings.I won’t hear her laugh. She’s gone. She no longer needs me,but I still need her.

In Oklahoma we just pasted the 30th anniversary of the OKC Bombing. I was a volunteer at the foot of that horror for 13 days. I watched 1/6. The Thugs Trump pardoned and said he “loved” are Tim McVeigh and the Nichols brothers. Remember that. I still have nightmares.

Today is National Vietnam War Veterans Day. March 29 was chosen as the date for this observance because on March 29, 1973, the last U.S. combat troops departed the Republic of Vietnam. Please take a moment today to honor and remember the men and women who served in the Vietnam War.

Don’t forget them. Don’t forget that after six weeks training they were dropped in a three canopy jungle with a wooden stocked rifle that jammed. Don’t forget that they came home maimed, traumatized and sick from carcinogens. Don’t forget that their median age was 19. Don’t Forget.

Don’t think this last big boo-boo of the circus in the White House will make any difference. Remember,Trump was impeached in his first term. We have to call people, attend Town Halls, and scream to high heaven. No one is going to help us. WE, THE VOTERS, HAVE TO RESIST!!

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

SO! Trump insulted how Zelensky was dressed before he even said hello, then a reporter, who is tupping MTG ask him if he “even owns a suit.” Then, Vance chimes in, and ZELENSKY is expected to apologize?? It was like the man walked into a 5th grade school lunchroom.

This is Carolyn Edwards. She was one of the first officers attacked and knocked out on January 6th. She bravely testified before the January 6th committee. She is one of the bravest people I know and she deserves better. (She posted this publicly on her FB page which is why I'm sharing publicly)

My first dorm room. I’m unpacking my side of the room, hanging my posters, making my bed. I’m a farm girl, on scholarship. My obviously better financied roommate says “Pretty sheets! What’s the thread count?” I said “I don’t know, but enough to tuck under about a three inches.” I was serious.

"When Mexico sends its people, they're sending their best. They're sending firefighters to help solve American problems. They're bringing fire fighting uniforms. They're bringing fire fighting equipment. They're bringing kittens down from trees. And all, I assume, are good people."

Oh, Lord! These horrible fires! My friends,Pray, burn sage,sling a chicken around your head, I don’t care. But, keep these people in your thoughts. And, remember the Fire Guys. Always remember the Fire Guys. This is so scary and sad.

I was in my Dr.’s office, talking to the PA, who was taking my vitals. Somehow, her 8 yo daughter came up. She said they had enrolled her in Ti Kwan Do. She looked at me sadly and said, she’s in private school and I worry.

So. I tried to call both the Governor and the Department of Education in Oklahoma. The Govetnors office just takes messages. The Rep I spoke with would give me no information. The State Dep. of Education phone just sent me to the website.
