Arthur's Civil Service reform was the highlight of his administration.

You look at the great speeches of Lincoln and MLK and you see bits of poetry within them.

Audubon killed and stuffed the birds which he then painted. Some of these "bird boxes" are still around. Saw a couple in a museum in St. Genevieve MO about 40 years ago.

Just sayin'...my Republican neighbors are disillusioned. They also have guns (they hunt for meat for their families). I have a feeling that many GOP Hoosiers are like them.....

I have a feeling that ICE is actually LOOKING for these types of men to join their ranks.

Okay. So now it becomes evident why he doesn't like women and why he's not had sex.

The corruption is so obvious that even my Newsmax-watching neighbors realize it is going on and do not like it.

Yes indeed. And the key is how you choose to ride out the storm

Talked with my sister in law yesterday. We're both in our early 70s. Like me, she's been feeling depressed. We talked a bit and decided it was because the uncertainty of health care costs rising.

Here's a wild suggestion. This time of year you can harvest hickory nuts and, depending on where you live, also persimmons. You can use those two ingredients to make a great persimmon bread. Or make hickory nut candy like my Grandma did (sour cream, sugar, and nuts).

I was a public school teacher. I was told that I represented my school WHEREVER I was, and should act in a such a way that my students could use me as a role model. I don't think it's too much to ask our elected officials to follow this standard.

45 is Putin's puppet, either through blackmail or through the $$ he owes the Russian mob.

Toxic masculinity at its worst.

If they are in places you don't want, create "moss art installations" or "moss parks" in cities.

The rich think they can literally get away with murder. Time to take them all to account. Start by electing people who will curtail the power of the rich and tax them at 90%, which was the top bracket in 1959.

This is what needs to be done in every city.

LOVELY!!!!

This is very true. It is also true that this issue crosses ideological lines. My conservative neighbors are very worried, and I've begun to create a dialog with them about politics.

This is an important message. People HAVE to stay engaged and involved.

True. But it is also true that it is perfectly right to put up boundaries so their darkness doesn't harm you.

Brilliant satire! Newsom is a shoe in for President for several reasons. 1. He has shown serious leadership for his state and nation. 2. He has a sense of humor. 3. He trolls the heck out of 45.

They think it is fine to use other people's work without permission. As I understand it, the person who created Franklin is not happy with what they are doing.

Except the locals see them as corrupt and want to kick them out. I'm talking about my GOP neighbors, who don't like him one bit now.

Tom Cotton is an idiot. Here's hoping the Democratic challenger is able to unseat him.

You are my Sunshine....

He loves being the desk warrior, where he can order murders but not sully his hands with the actual killing, nor be in any danger himself.

So glad you made the journey and are clean now. Yes, I guess peer pressure could be part of the reason people went down that path.

It woke me up at 2 am. Light was amazing--soft yet penetrating.

If I saw them walking down the street, I'd duck into a shop to avoid them.

We've started something up in the Ozarks. It's a box at the local school where folks can leave food for their neighbors. Been talking with my friends, and comparing what foods to leave that are gone right away. None of us have that much money, but we have enough to buy food for others.
