We drove from Phoenix to Indiana over 5 days and we definitely felt the difference as we drove east. PHX had one of the warmest Januarys on record.

Food for Thought: The same people who need their own half time show because a brown person is singing in the Super Bowl halftime show … are the same ones that needed their own water fountains so they didn’t have to share with black people.

So many snowflakes it’s a blizzard.

Pew Research Institute (2023):

• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants

• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants

• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.

And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."

It's *not* about immigration.

Dear Republican Congress,
Trump bullied that woman into giving him her Nobel Peace Prize. He bullied you into giving him your job.

Smash burgers from our friends’ pasture-raised beef, salad, and s’mores over the fire. Nice evening in Tempe, AZ.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply.

I want to make sure this is very clear.

Screenshot of a post by Ben Hodges on X stating, “Venezuela is on another Continent.” The post quotes an earlier tweet by Aaron Rupar from December 19, 2025, quoting Marco Rubio saying of the Russia–Ukraine war, “It’s not our war. It’s a war on another continent.” Below the quoted text is a video still showing Marco Rubio speaking at a U.S. State Department podium. He is wearing a dark suit, white shirt, and red tie, and appears mid-gesture with one hand raised near his face. U.S. flags and a blue State Department backdrop are visible behind him.

Geography refresher needed at the State Department…

With all this talk of how to end Russias war against Ukraine, and a cease fire, keep this in mind:

If Ukraine ceases firing, Ukraine will cease to exist.

If Russia ceases firing. the war will cease to exist.

Pretty clear

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

You don’t have to go that far. There are lots of descendants of German immigrants in Southern Indiana. Try Schnitzelbank in Jasper!

I’m not surprised they’re always on the white peoples side, and always on the rich peoples side, and always on the men’s side, and always on the “Christian” side, and always on the cisgender side, but also always being on the infectious disease side just really wasn’t on my bingo card.

He never saw himself as elected to a public office. In his mind he acquired America.

TEXT: 5 WAYS TRUMP IS RAISING COSTS FOR STUDENT LOAN BORROWERS:
* FIRED WORKERS RESPONSIBLE FOR RESOLVING STUDENT LOAN REPAYMENT ISSUES
* FAILED TO PROCESS A BACKLOG OF 1.1 MILLION APPLICATIONS FOR AFFORDABLE REPAYMENT PLANS
* ANNOUNCED PLANS TO MASS-REJECT 460,000 APPLICATIONS FOR AFFORDABLE REPAYMENT PLANS ON A PHONY TECHNICALITY
* FAILED TO PROCESS DEBT RELIEF FOR BORROWERS WHO HAVE A PERMANENT DISABILITY
* WEAKENED PROTECTIONS FOR BORROWERS SEEKING DEBT RELIEF AFTER BEING SCAMMED BY THEIR SCHOOLS

If you have federal student loans, these are five ways President Trump is driving up your costs.

When I was in higher ed, I read a study that found that people are more accurate in predicting how much money they’ll have six months than how much time they’ll have. After I that, I tried to be more accurate in judging my future time, and it helped me say no more often.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

Yep. I had a brilliant student who couldn’t believe that normal people “heard voices in their head.” She had no concept of a “thought voice” as I call it.

I’ve been in line for communion and watched the pastor look past me at the next person so he could recall their name in time. No judgment here, though. It’s hard to come up with a name under pressure!
