The only need for cringing is if (and only if) you sat back and said nothing while family and friends discussed how Candidate Trump was going to 'fix' America and you bit your cheek out of fear of making them uncomfortable/upset. It's like take a vaccine... a little discomfort now....

I am pleased to announce that I have commandeered my neighbor's home. This home will be sold at its Market Price, and that money will be controlled by me, to ensure it is used to benefit my neighbor and me! Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Medications have a place in our lives to help us on this Earth. I give thanks to all the impressive brains that contribute to their development but can we have a discussion on the 'overuse' of medications for some?

And they are still coming.

Although you get top marks for authenticity in figuring out the end goal, President Xi said as much about a year ago that it was 'straight up robbery'; in Mandarin of course.

Why is the response to the vile shooting of Charlie Kirk to send bomb and shooter threats to Historically Black Colleges the next day? The alleged shooter is WHITE.

I have found that more than a few of my medical doctors and a nurse doctor (whatever the heck that its) also have the inability to say "I don't know".

Aren't they beautiful?

Can we have qualified immunity for mental health providers to address the stress of current modern American society? There are so many professionals who care, who have the gift, the talent to help others find balance and inner resolution to our mental wounds and strife... is this an emergency?

This post has shown me we are in a second Civil War. No official splits of the states but a war it is. It a continuation of the War of Entitlement to issue White Privilege Cards or to see the potential of human being as being worthy.

You know they are talking about humans, right?

This birdman is just reminding us humans that we have forgotten to share and be in harmony with nature.

The drugs companies make insane mula in profits, so why do we need to fund research that will make them more money? Again, help me to understand. It is no longer exploratory, it is an established scientific technique. The money can be used for other research.

Congratulations Mr. Trump. Getting the Big iA to invest in it's home country.

A breathtaking view of the Sun's reflection on the Pacific Ocean seen from space.

Virus attacks suck! Modern day infections are potent but I am gonna try old remedies learned at grandma's knee: Slippery Elm for the sore throat. Echinacea to support the body. Licorice tea for cough with a little peppermint. The superman of it all is GARLIC which is antiviral and anti-microbial.

I was 18, newly liberated from my parents constant care, love and supervision when I was first introduced to the music of Ozzy. I do not like it at first but like the man itself it slowly endeared itself to some primal part of myself. Thanks Ozzy for opening my mind. youtu.be/k5BAMtmc95k?...

In 2019, Betty Buck got a call from her son, Danny Buck, who told her that while on a ship in Japan, he was sexually assaulted by three other seamen, who had assaulted others before him. It is not the transsexuals that are doing the evil to are children in the military... maybe we need them.

Google AI Overview paraphrase: The first quarter of 2025, "The Late Show" averaged 2,394,000 viewers. In April 2024, it averaged 2,577,000 total viewers, making it the top-rated program late at night... Colbert's show remains the leader in its time slot.

broad-tailed hummingbirds built a nest atop a tea light on a friend's front porch. one bird fledged yesterday, and one kiddo (who I saw flying, too) was hanging around for more food from mom #birds

Yep.

This was the Yankee north and not the Dixie south. There is still a great disparity including treating Black Americans as lower class no matter their privilege of education or economic status.

I know that Ms. Franklin had years of vocal training and coaching but her hits always sound like a pure and wonderful raw experience. Strips the masks off of the soul and her true voice helps me feel.

Is it that humans don't learn or don't want to change? Is this why we got kicked out of The Garden?

The Queen of the Night (Epiphyllum oxypetalum) blooms once a year at night.

Lucky to have time to wonder neighborhoods in #LA and #SantaMonica for a few days. Some of the #flowers in folks' front yards are incredible. Well done #CA! 🌹👍🏻 #bloomscrolling #roses #photography #travel #nature #blueskyphotography #outdoorphotography #naturephotography
