No problem, Andrew! Feel free! I usually give that out to Mets and to Emergency Managers - I truly understand “tight budgets!” (Even though our “new” SPIDItech.com website is much better, AND only $99 per year! We take CCs, too!)

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.

The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

For the umpteenth time: This is what America looks like without a Legislative Branch.

Shouldn’t take a court order to tell you to feed the hungry.

We had ZERO last year, Jeff. “Normal” is 12 to 15. We’re stocked & ready this year! We shall see what the night brings - Ring Cameras on! LOL!

The dangerous combination that made Melissa a monster hurricane Hurricane Melissa’s power was undeniable, intensifying faster than most storms on record.

My quote for today's WaPo story: "We’re going to be seeing a lot more Melissas in the future and we’re definitely not ready for it".

Parts of Jamaica may see more than 30 inches of rain from Hurricane Melissa

This is the mark of an overheated earth, and the damage it causes will be terrifying. Please be prepared to help those providing aid

Not a good day for the Sooners, Karen. I just hope my O-State Cowboys can win at least 1 more game this season - although that looks doubtful.

Big Atlantic waves - 30 ft offshore - will pile up along the Mid-Atlantic and New England Coasts with the help of 60 mph+ gusts! Nasty few days with significant coastal flooding. Be ready for flooding if you live near the shore! #storm #noreaster #ocean #waves

Poor Bermuda. Could it be impacted yet again by another Tropical Storm or Hurricane? Ugh.

23 to 8. This is not a football score. It’s the two-game total of runs scored by the Toronto Bluejays vs. the New York Yankees. Pathetic pitching - once again. Ugh. Yankees will be done soon, another Divisional Playoff loss. Where have you gone, Joe Torre?

This is so indefensibly insane: Speaker Johnson is refusing to seat Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva because she'll be the 218th vote to release the Epstein files. Johnson swore in Rep Walkinshaw (VA) w/in 24 hours.

Johnson is abandoning his job to instead protect a convicted child sex predator

#Humberto is making a run to Cat 5 status. There’s plenty of lightning around the eye, showing it has the vertical motion needed for further intensification. By days end - or before- we could have 160 mph! That would make it the 2nd cat 5 of the season. Warmer climate = more rapid intensification!

What an embarrassment this President is to the United States. This UN speech is self-aggrandizing and deplorable. Unbelievable, yet here we are. Why can’t Republican House and Senate members see this?

Flu shot - check. COVID vaccine update - check. 2 for 2 because I believe in science, and in vaccines that save lives.

Our democracy is collapsing in real time.

Much of the damage will be irreparable.

If you’re waiting to say or do something, you better not wait much longer.

As a bookish kid, I admired the Supreme Court for having the character to unanimously come out against segregation in the 1950s, when no other branch of our government would have had that courage.

So it saddens me to see it lose its way and endorse judging people for the color of their skin today.

I dont know how many times im gonna be surprised by this supreme court. I know better than to expect different but something in me just wishes for the best. God we deserve so much better. This court has legalized racial profiling. Unbelievable, well actually believable.

I hate you Clarence Thomas.

“They’re taking our jobs” was always a lie. Alabama proved it.

Alabama tried a “tough” immigration law, and it backfired hard. Immigrants fled, crops rotted, and farms collapsed. Americans tried to step in but couldn’t last a day.

They’re not taking your jobs; they’re doing the jobs you won’t do.

I am 76 & I have had most of these vaccinations at one time or another. Also vaccinations against Covid, Tetanus, plus Cholera & Yellow Fever when travelling in foreign countries.
These prevented me catching horrible diseases & dying a gruesome death. They did not harm me, they protected me!
