Meandering through the madness, wishing this was just a nightmare and I will wake up. The toughest part of this is living with an ex Air Force spouse whose Kool Aid pitcher never runs dry πŸ₯². Strength is sometimes so hard.

Back after a fantastic but occasionally bumpy cruise round the top of Iceland. The Northern Lights put on a superb show. This was the best, off the NE coast. Curtains of colour, greenish and reddish tinges even visible to the naked eye

A new father finds comfort in a doctor's words of advice In 2019, Darren Wayman was about to become a new father. He was terrified. Then, a doctor came into the delivery room and said something that changed his perspective on parenthood.

Several top FEMA officials have departed the agency in recent weeks, as Richardson has brought on staff from the Department of Homeland Security, according to personnel announcement emails sent to agency employees. Those DHS officials, many of whom don't have emergency-management experience, have been largely in charge of crafting the agency's new approach, according to people familiar with the matter.
During a May meeting, Richardson said the agency needs to break its goals into various tasks, which he explained using fruit metaphors.
"Some of those tasks will be kind of orange-like tasks,
" he said, according to a video recording of
the meeting viewed by the Journal. "And by orange, I mean the fruit orange, but they might be tangerines, they might be blood oranges, it might just be a little bit grapefruity, all those will go in one bin.

Hurricane season started June 1st. New FEMA Chief David Richardson didn’t know hurricane season is annual. He is months behind on a plan, gutted key programs, and brought in unqualified DHS staff. Now he’s explaining disaster response with fruit metaphors.

The propaganda of political division gives the illusion that it’s possible to punish the opposite party and not your own. As if there are two Americas and we can target our enemies to hurt only them. It’s a damn shame it will take Trump hurting all of America for some to find out we were never separate groups in the first place. Quote by Melissa Nadia Viviana

We have to stop dividing our problems into β€œleft and right" and start seeing our problems like β€œtop vs bottom.”

737 billionaires in the U.S. have a combined wealth of 5.5 trillion. And they funneled it out of the middle class.

Then Trump keeps us fighting with each other while they steal more.

Warren Calls for Ethics Probe Into Tesla White House Event A group of Democratic senators led by Elizabeth Warren is calling for an ethics investigation into a White House event promoting Tesla Inc.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk turned the White House into a Tesla dealership.

Is that where you want your taxpayer dollars going? Nope.

I'm pushing for an ethics investigation.

At some point we are going to go from courts declaring acts by the Trump Admin to be illegal/unconstitutional to a recognition that Musk and his posse have broken dozens/hundreds of laws and are criminals.

It needs to be understood that Elon Musk has been on a crime spree not an efficiency drive.
