I'm so glad I'm old.

I can't speak for all of these, but I thought Sentimental Value was horrible.

America's elite university's promote their white Christian agenda using ethnic conflict as the tool.

I'm not a stranger. I was a member of AWFJ, and we worked on Movie of the Week together. And if you think an obscure definition of a word undermines my credibility, so be it.

As you say, the origins are obscure, but most people don't know or care about where it came from. The term still is highly loaded because of Shakespeare and the popularly understood association with a greedy, vindictive Jew. I'm not sure why you're defending its use.

Janet Mills’ Veto Record: Corporations Over Workers, Renters, And Tribal Rights The Democratic Party leaders’ choice for a key 2026 Senate race has spent six years vetoing collective bargaining rights, wealth taxes, renter protections, and tribal sovereignty protections.

Susan Collins is old and on the wrong side of every issue. Janet Mills will do nothing to improve the situation for Mainers and the nation. www.levernews.com/janet-mills-...

I disagree. Antisemitic incidents are skyrocketing. I'm trying to teach children the dangers of demonizing language at the Illinois Holocaust Museum. Keeping this slur alive doesn't help. And I see no point in being pedantic about the word's origin. It's a slur, plain and simple.

I know what a shyster is. The origin of the word is from Shakespeare's Shylock, a money-grubbing Jew. As a Jew myself, I think it behooves us to stop perpetuating ethnic slurs.

Can we retire the word "shyster"? It's antisemitic.

After watching a doc on Eleanor of Aquataine, I thought it would be great to watch THE LION IN WINTER, which I haven't seen in decades. Couldn't believe how cheesy the James Goldman script was, turning a tale of power politics into an extreme soap opera of pouty people looking for love. πŸŽ₯ #filmsky

You forget that his extreme narcissism is a mental illness. It should have had Congress invoking the 25th by now.

They will only hit the high-water mark when the economy, the government, and the population has shrunk to enough to drown in a bathtub.

Can't cure this klepto. He wants it all. He wants a room like Bellatrix Lestrange's where the gold multiplies when touched.

This is scary. To this day, I have the horrifying image of alpine ski racer Ulrike Maier going off a course, snapping her neck on the timer posted on the side of the run, and sliding lifelessly down the slope.

Minneapolis police chief warns officers: Stop unlawful force by ICE or lose your job Chief Brian O’Hara says he’ll fire city police officers if they don’t intervene when immigration agents use unlawful force.

This is great. Very few people want to go to jail, get disbarred or die for this regime. Make them fight you. They will cave.

When your audience is actually and emotionally immature people who spend hours in front of their game consoles/computers, what do you expect?

Here's a letter I wrote to Sen. Bill Cassidy, who condemned the ACIP recommendation about Hep B vaccinations the other day. He does not deserve our respect until he acts to remove RFK Jr. from HHS. #VaccinationWorks #DumpRFKJr #ACIP #SenCassidy www.cassidy.senate.gov/contact/get-...

Red lentil and kale stew offers welcome break between indulgent holiday spreads Protein- and fiber-rich red lentils form the base of the stew, cooking quickly and softening into a rich, wholesome broth, while kale adds texture and green vitality.

I made a red lentil & kale soup/stew yesterday from a recipe in the Chicago Sun-Times. It was absolutely delicious! I'm adding more kale because it got kind of lost & I omitted the cilantro because my guy doesn't like it. Otherwise, the perfect recipe. chicago.suntimes.com/recipes/2025... #cooking

"Christian" has lost its religious meaning. It is now a tribal name. It's time to stop calling these people hypocrites and start calling them what they are - the KKK.
