i loved him as Morrison, but the Doors movie wasn’t true to the band.

Real Genius was the first time i saw him, and man did i want to be Chris Knight.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.

Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

it was 70° in New Hampshire today, frisbee, tossing the football around, now grilling chimichurri steak

Walz: I think they hate public education because it’s easier to run an authoritarian government if you don’t have a population that knows.

As Polio Survivors Watch Kennedy Confirmation, All Eyes Are on McConnell (Gift Article) There are an estimated 300,000 polio survivors in the United States. For some, the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as health secretary is reviving their painful memories.

Their numbers are dwindling now. Iron lungs have been relegated to museums. Some feel the world has forgotten them.

Today, the eyes of polio survivors were on Mitch McConnell. He voted no on RFK Jr.
Sharing this as a gift so all can hear their stories.

He is flooding the zone. He knows that media will cover everything he does. Getting people upset. Which helps give him more coverage of the upset people. All just talking about him.

Dems need to be strategic.

Guys like joe rogan are funny because they still think smoking weed that they buy legally from places that look like an apple store makes them hunter s thompson

In the last 45mins or so they talk about how young men are fed up by school shootings and how ridiculous gun laws are.
