I’ve not been on here much lately. My only surviving son has been diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer and he’s not doing well. This sucks.

We're going back every Sunday from 1 to 2:30. Join us! Just don't park in the McDona;d's lot.

This nation would be a better place if just one White House reporter had the courage to ask "what the hell are you rambling about, old man?"

So, a few of us did a thing over the weekend: We called for a boycott of the McDonald's restaurants owned by Rep. Chuck Edwards and had a picket line on Friday and Sunday. We actually had a couple people thank us and go somewhere else. Please don't feed the oligarchs. They have too much already.

I’ve been offline for a couple weeks as my son battles colon cancer and complications from surgery. He’s mending slowly, and I’m back in the fight. Release the Epstein files!

I can’t even find words for all this. Our β€œpresident” posts a cartoon of him dropping shit β€” literally, shitβ€” on all of us. 7 million people turn out to protest the uncontrollable toddler in the White House and our so- called leaders collectively shrug and say, β€œMeh.”

North Carolina also took 10 years to expand Medicaid and now, with the federal reconciliation β€œBig Beautiful Bill,” will let that expansion go away, leaving a half million people without coverage. So, no, this does not deserve more attention.
