So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

People do not want this.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Cricket was the name of the puppy that Kristi Noem murdered.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.

But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

I find it ridiculously concerning 44% of Americans actually support this war right there tells me that the possibility for this ending up in a nuclear situation is entirely too high for my liking… granted I don’t think polls can be taken seriously, but even if that number is accurate, that’s high

So, Markweinie, since you're inheriting Cotey Lewandowski, who's gonna top and who's gonna bottom? It's not a good sign that you both look like bottoms...

Kristi Noem wasn't fired because her DHS murders people, not because ICE is terrorizing communities and not because she has been deporting any and everyone even Americans, no way, donald loves how she's doing that... she was fired because she contradicted donald about spending 220 million on ad.

McGovern: How the hell is this America first? You guys broke your top campaign promise. Good luck with that. I hope the defense contractor money was worth it. Shame on you all. The mask is off. You're all just a bunch of pathetic Neocon Warmongers.

We are spending a billion dollars a day on this illegal, reckless war. This is taxpayer money that should be going to healthcare and education. Now, Trump wants $50 billion more for a war that Congress has not authorized. Outrageous. No way.

I can't say I delight in the implosion of the GOP. They have seen to it that there is little to take delight in at the moment. They voted to enable an evil 3 times, and now they complain about a male loneliness epidemic. A culture of accountability deflection is not appealing.

He brags that he was a constitutional lawyer (at a school no one has ever heard of and had no students). If so, he certainly didn't retain any of that knowledge...

Speaker Johnson is an embarrassment. He has been entrusted with a special place in our government yet shows little regard for our Constitution. Trump isn't worth abandoning his principles unless he has none.

Markweenie Mullins. Hmm...
Well, he looks like he's 'vers," so he can bottom most of the time and top every now and then... Of course, not sure how Corey Lewandowski is at topping, since Krusty uses a strap-on, but he's probably a fast learner!!

The Fog (1980)
"Eleven fifty-five... almost midnight. Enough time for one more story."

What a classic. John Carpenter does it again. This is the definitive ghost story movie for me. Moody atmosphere, an all star cast, and a lived-in town full of local eccentrics.

Mass Shooting Tracker

Found this site for US mass shootings.

America is more violent than ever.

Violence begets violence

Please πŸ™ stop, it’s not about mental health. It’s about a culture where the DoD is now the Department of War, intentionally.
