Damn.

UPDATE: Sid Miller went on MSNOW today to say that he did not vote for Governor Greg Abbott, who he blasted for taking money from data centers. I am struggling to find the words to describe how wild this all is.

BREAKING: Willie Nelson endorses James Talarico: “I've gotten to know James Talarico. He's a good man, who will be a good senator for the state of Texas. Please vote and vote for James Talarico.“

I guess we are going to do the whole "Let them eat cake" bit. There are going to be some people that wished they had read up on some history by the time this is over.

The Trump administration is considering giving a private developer access to land inside Yosemite National Park so they can build a road to an 83-acre property they want to develop right outside the park. The National Park Service already rejected the same request years ago, and the previous

DEVASTATING FLOOD Security camera footage shows the moment the flood crashes through the Nepal-China border. The flash flood wipes out everything in its path. People, houses, roads, and power projects were swept away in Nepal, while officials in Tibet said they feared “major casualties.”

Shut out to my wife for her dedication to the local school and her patience in dealing with local yahoos. Also for being my voice of reason because I don't have the patience in dealing with these local yahoos.

The amount of fireworks last night here in rural Texas was down significantly. Usually it is a war zone. Last night was just a skirmish. For the 4th to be on a Saturday and the 250th, it was dead.

Now we have to start having a pre-game female check? How else do you enforce this? Can opposing coaches demand that someone be checked? The bigger issue is kids being priced out of sports. Unless parents pay thousands for private coaches, joining select teams, their kids don't have a chance to play

Washington DC sounds extremely dangerous now with these undectable ninjas running around slashing national monuments. Not just once but they apparently keep coming back and slashing another 50' every press conference.

This image has upset the President of the United States enough that he had to respond publicly. This is the world we live in. Nothing makes sense anymore. It is going to be a weird chapter in history books.

What will hurt Trump more than anything is that he is starting to become boring to his base. They don't care about ballrooms and arches. He regurgitates the same rants over & over. There is nothing new. They have heard it before. And he is running out of people to blame.

Trump's Art of the Deal strategy tends to fall apart once he can't sue somebody for not doing what he wants. He can't sue Iran and now he is stuck.

Nothing upsets these "Christians" more than the teachings of Christ. Love, peace, and forgiveness instead of anger, hate, and racism is upsetting to them.

The world ended in 2012, right? This is all some sort of hallucination. I don't know how else to explain all this. Can we please go back to when things were not this incredibly stupid? WTF. If you do not use the 25th amendment now then there is no point in having it.

Of course they gives us Vance. Even the Republicans can't stand him. They are willing to cover for all of Trump's idiotic statements/moves just to keep JD from becoming Pres. No one likes him.

And this right here is why social security benefits are going to reduced by the year 2032. The money you paid into social security your whole life is going to the wealthy.

Over the last week, transportation cost have increased about $0.13 a mile just due to increase in price of diesel. That cost is going to hit every product you buy as they are all moved from factories/ports to DCs to the stores by trucks. Everything is going up. Get ready.
