  1. Didn’t much care for DJT’s redecoration of the Oval Office.
    ==
    Cannot help but note the original in place from 1909 to 194? was pretty grisly.

  2. A sane, sensible, unhateful, non-hysterical John Fetterman is quite obviously off his meds and MUST be replaced ASAP.
    (Ask any Democrat…to whom Soviet policy of committing—i.e., incarcerating—such irredeemable crazies to psychiatric wards is probably regarded as an increasingly attractive “solution”….)

  3. I think the President needs to address Congress in prime time and introduce proposed legislation. One just on military pay. One just on pay for federal prison workers. One for the park rangers. Challenge them to vote on each on a separate basis and see if the Democrats still dig in their heels. Make it very public . Very simple yes or no on three distinct things.

  4. Barry, re: Fetterman
    Gotta love him! I wonder if he was this sensible, honest, & smart years ago when he was “just” a state politician?
    Anyone know?
    Also, I’m wondering:
    What is his biggest reason for loyalty to the Democrat party?
    Does he think government should basically be the answer to all American problems?
    Does he want government controlling everything?
    I really wish I could ask him his reasons for staying.
    The answer might be his wife. I imagine a divorce would be extremely expensive.

  5. Jon Baker: I’d vote yes on your proposal!
    Is there any good reason not to do so?
    Speaker Johnson should welcome that, but maybe I’m missing something … ?!

  6. Re: Kate’s reference: Euonymos, there’s a good name for you.

    It’s becoming chilly a bit in the upper Hudson valley.

  7. And another Sunny Cal train to nowhere someone’s bank account.

    Seems to be a feature on Planet Newsom…
    (…which is why, no doubt, the Gavinator sees himself as THE person best suited to take over leadership of the Democratic Party Mafia…)

  8. Barry M. — CA Homeless $$$ fraud:
    How wonderful that some fraudsters are being caught!
    I hope the federal task force makes its way to Austin. Our mayor & city council have handed out hundreds of $$ millions to solve a homeless problem, with no accountability and very little success.
    (No independent audits are allowed! )

  9. Just another mega-grift, Marlene, just another grift….

    BUT at least they’re totally committed to helping people**—yes they are!—and are hung-ho for “human^^ rights”!!!

    ** …um, but which people, exactly??
    ^^ …and which humans, exactly??

  10. Gotta get with the program:
    Transformation today,
    transformation tomorrow,
    transformation FOREVER!!

    “Obama’s $1 Billion Presidential Library Looks Like A Tower Of Doom”—
    https://www.zerohedge.com/political/obamas-1-billion-presidential-library-looks-tower-doom

    Key blurb:

    …Though the media frequently refers to the design as “warm and inviting”, it looks more like a concrete bunker nightmare that one might find in Soviet era Russia…

    [Emphasis mine; Barry M.]

    But OF course they do!!
