That is generous of her; I remember a lot of hate & bigotry aimed at the Obamas during those years! Some of that still exists; if you look at tweets on X, you could likely find some from this week. The Obama presidency was one to be proud of, despite the naysayers and birthers! (Not naming anyone)

It must be difficult these days to be a fact checker on Trump speeches. I know Iโ€™d never be able to keep up with the lies. Hereโ€™s a moment from todayโ€™s breakfast remarks:

โ€œThe democrats (lie) (lie) (lie) and (lie). Lunatic ( lie) (lie) rino. No good (lie). Sir, (lie) (lie).โ€

How do they do it?!

If you can control the media and the educational system, you have control of the minds of the people: With educational institutions buckling and the media capitulating, Itโ€™s just a matter of time.

By almost any measure, Cheney was the most powerful vice president in historyโ€ because the American people elected a weak and stupid president. Iโ€™m sure W was a fun guy to have a beer with, but he was not up to the task of leading the country and was easily swayed by people like Cheney!

Truth: Same with gardening. I decided Iโ€™d flex my horticultural skills this year. I now enjoy tomatoes that cost about $7 each! The only satisfaction is when my friends complain of high produce prices, I say โ€œI havenโ€™t noticed; Iโ€™m growing my own!โ€ Next, chickens? Have ya seen the price of eggs?

Thatโ€™s sure to lower the price of eggs and toilet paper!

Speak for yourself, 91! I have long asserted that if anyone tried to force their way into my house without a warrant and ID, I wouldnโ€™t hesitate to pull the trigger. Never underestimate an old woman who knows how to use a gun!

Johnson is one of those โ€œwelfare queensโ€ Republicans are always bitching about: Barely working, complaining about the work, cashing in on the public dole! Either do your job, or . . .

The older Cuban-American block has long trended Republican. They donโ€™t consider todayโ€™s Latino/Hispanic immigrants on the same level as themselves. Many younger members of that group have forgotten about โ€œwet-foot/dry-footโ€ If Trump had been prez in 1995, heโ€™d have deported them all!

Thatโ€™s nonsense and wasteful! It would make more sense to find uses for the space that would benefit the public.

I agree; short stories are woefully underrated. There are great ones to be read!

Literacy professors (like me) have been preaching this for years. But why listen to us? Weโ€™ve only spent the most of 20 years or so studying the issue. So much better to rely on the expertise of textbook companies & Moms for Liberty. The decline in college studentsโ€™ literacy abilities is palpable!

Did any evidence point to another suspect in the womanโ€™s killing? Or did anything later come to light? This is a horrible story, first and most obvious because of the way Mr. Neal was brutalized but also, someone who raped and murdered a woman went free. Justice was denied for two innocent people. ๐Ÿ˜ข
