On self-supported sabbatical of indefinite duration. Political lefty. Former Southerner. Audacious underdog. Prolific volunteer. Committed to kindness, but feeling snarkier by the day. Tai Chi keeps me from exploding.

Hereโ€™s a thought for James Comer.

There IS a First Lady who has had a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. And itโ€™s not Hillary Clinton.

It might be worthwhile for Comer to subpoena the First Lady who actually knows Epstein.

You know, just to see what she knows.

EVERY leader inherits problems and successes from their predecessors. The question was, and remains, WHAT ARE YOOOUUU doing about it?

Definitely include the Constitution because the Republicans are hoping it gets forgotten.

Thanks to Bobo, it's clear for all to see that the Republicans aren't serious about transparency. They want secrecy and they want control. Today you see exactly what they do with their secrecy and control. Boobs, all of them.

Polls show increasing concerns about Trumpโ€™s mental acuity | CNN Politics President Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential race after his initial opponent, then-President Joe Biden, withdrew over worries about his age and mental sharpness.

Ya think?!?

Thank you, Boebert! Your MAGA clan wants to humiliate Clinton behind closed doors so they can lie their butts off about what she did and did not say. But now the story is that Clinton wanted these hearings to be public all along; it's the Republicans who refuse transparency. Thank you, Boebert!

A piece of me broke when Trump statedโ€ฆโ€ we have LIFTED thousands off of SNAP benefitsโ€, in reality yesterday my 72-year-old patient informed me her food benefits have dropped now from $152 a month to $40, and all the Republicans stood and cheered!

If the Rs try, they invite a public debate about why Trump wasn't "censured" in any way. That whole incident didn't play well for him, so LET'S GO!

Shaver was a Border Patrol agent for over 20 years, mostly working in Ohio, according to his LinkedIn profile. He retired in 2023, and rejoined DHS in 2025 as ICE and Border Patrol surged into areas like the Twin Cities, where he had a 30-day assignment, according to the police report.

Shaver is one of several Sandusky, Ohio Border Patrol agents accused in a 2012 lawsuit of racially profiling Latino residents. A federal judge ruled in 2016 their actions did not violate the constitution.

A federal immigration agent deployed to Minnesota accidentally fired his handgun in an Eagan hotel, shooting a bullet through the wall and into the headboard in an adjacent room. 

Eagan police were dispatched to the Hampton Inn at 3000 Eagandale Place shortly before 6:30 p.m. on Dec. 18 after agent Bradley Shaver, 53, shot his Glock 19 while attempting to change out a part on the handle, according to a police report reviewed by Sahan Journal. 

The bullet went through the agentโ€™s sweatshirt pocket, through the wall and into the neighboring room, according to the report. 

The roomโ€™s occupant, Aaron Wukawitz, had just checked into the hotel and was walking down the hallway to his room when he heard the gunshot. He got into his room and heard the federal agent cursing and panicking. A bullet was stuck in the headboard above a bedside table. 

โ€œThat could have literally killed me,โ€ Wukawitz told Sahan Journal.

Kristi Noem rehired a retired CBP officer w/a history of racism, and he nearly got himself and an innocent bystander killed with insanely irresponsible gun handling.

Americans are told low taxes equals freedom. But freedom that disappears when you get sick, lose your job or age is conditional. The real question is not what you pay. It's what you get in return.

Tampering with evidence. Somebody could and should go to jail for this, but not the prez. He's immune. He's also immune from calling for the assassination of SCOTUS. I'm sure Gorsuch and Barrett are glad he's free to speak his mind.
