The old farmer said. * Well, as I see it. Donald Trump is like a
'Post Tortoise'" Not being familiar with the term. the doctor asked him what a 'post tortoise' was.
The old farmer said. "When you're driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a tortoise balanced on top, that's a post tortoise." The old farmer saw the puzzled look on the doctor's face so he continued to explain. "You know he didn't get up there by himself. he doesn't belong up there, he doesn't know what to do while he's up there, he's elevated beyond his ability to function, and you just wonder what kind of dumb ass put him up there to begin with.*

After Helene, federal funds slow to arrive in NC as state presses for more aid The federal government has awarded the state just $3.8 billion for Helene recovery, 6% of the nearly $60 billion in damage the state sustained.

Trump on 10 Oct 24 in Swannanoa: "Every single property will be fully rebuilt, greater & more beautiful than it was before." July 31: $60B of Helene damage in #WNC & the fed govt has pd $3.8B of that ~ 6% of the total cost. Trump: Promises made, promises broken

Johnson Shuts Down House To Block Epstein Vote Johnson accused the Democrats of using the House’s rules committee as a “political battering ram.”

Of course they are. Speaker Mike Johnson is planning to shut the House down early for summer recess, just to block an effort that would force a vote on releasing the Epstein investigation files. Because shielding Trump’s secrets matters more to them than doing their jobs.

Trump Administration Texted College Professors’ Personal Phones to Ask If They’re Jewish “Barnard was not given advance notice of this outreach,” the college’s general counsel wrote in an email to faculty.

WTAF? How is THIS even legal? An employee’s spirituality has NOTHING to do with job qualifications. Current administration is on a witch hunt for people who are NOT Christian OR JEWISH #FirstAmendmentRights
