I’ll give Dick Cheney props for one thing. When he said New York would have a Muslim mayor over his dead body, he really meant it… 😳

I don’t know about you all but I am really good with not adding an extra hour to 2025.,

@jimmykimmel.com coming back on Tuesday . I hope he didn’t give one centimeter. My Hulu and ESPN+ are not coming back. The Disney Company showed me who they are. I believe them. Same with Target.

This is a great idea. Great if we make them vote against it. Greater still if they go for it!

It’s not just one man. He has a cabal of enablers. Without them he is nothing.

What are your best tips for keeping your heads above water? Right now I need water wings. I wrote to Bob Iger today and canceled ESPN + and Hulu but lawdy I am struggling.

President Biden gave Kerr County Texas 10.2 Million dollars in Federal Funds for a flood warning system. They rejected the money not wanting money from an administration they called Communist among other things.

Zohran Mamdani won because people are sick of:

1. Calculate-and-play-it-safe Democrats;

2. Christian Nationalism;

3. Republican xenophobia and their ICE Gestapo;

4. MAGA’s islamophobia; and

5. Politicians who talk about culture wars instead of the issues that affect ordinary people.

This lifelong Dem @68 years old is pleased as punch to see this shift. I wish the Dem establishment would take their heads out of the sand and see the good here. Status quo got us where we are.
