Now would be a good time to give tomahawk missiles to Ukraine. Let them punish Russia for us - win, win.

For weeks I've listened to Pete Hegseth swear that 'we know exactly' who & what were in the "drug" boats and what their mission is. That seems unlikely since they didn't even know those boats carried cocaine bound for Africa and Europe, not USA. This is all staged as reality TV for the ratings.

I usually like Bill Maher and I like Mamdani more than Cuomo. Bill seems to be slipping more and more toward the dark side. I used to agree with him much more than I do lately. He's been anti-Muslim since 9/11. Mamdani is Muslim. Time to get over it, Bill.

Americans deserve affordable home insurance Fed up with skyrocketing home insurance rates? Demand home insurance companies adopt basic protections for all policyholders. Take action by signing Consumer Reports’ petition today.

I think this is a good thing for us all to sign. Insurance rates are too high.

The posts were posted in decending date/time posted and I posted them in the wrong order to be read. Please start at the bottom to get the thread as I wrote it. Need longer post access.

After reading recent news and Heather's letter, I could see that our our nails are rusting and our house is infested with termites.

These termites are becoming very destructive.

Our agreement are the nails holding the frame together. These agreements are what keeps the house standing and protecting us, its citizens, who live inside and depend upon the house for safety and order.

As I envisioned the United States as a house, I saw that the Constitution is the foundation of our house. The concept of the rule of law, democracy, and system of laws and traditions built upon that foundation are the framework that are the bones of our house.

As I listened to Heather Cox Richardson's "Letters from an American" - October 16, 2025 on Substack, I got the impression of our grand nation as a large, beautiful but aging mansion of a house; our home.

I had about 4 of those bags for years. I finally consolidated everything into 1 bag, and removed all unnecessary duplicate cables, especially USB Micro and Mini cords. USB C have multiple uses so I have more than 1 of them.

I'm a big fan of your dad. I love to hang out with him in Ocean Springs when I can get there in my van, a tiny home on wheels.

screenshot (AP): Impeaching Yoon would require the support of two-thirds of parliament and at least six justices of the nine-member Constitutional Court would have to support it to remove him from office. The motion could be put to a vote as early as Friday. If Yoon is impeached, he’ll be stripped of his constitutional powers until the Constitutional Court rules. Prime Minister Han Duck-soo, the No. 2 position in the South Korean government, would take over his presidential responsibilities.

oh! I like this bit where the leader is stripped of power between impeachment and conviction. That could be helpful to add to our impeachment process. Via AP: apnews.com/article/sout...
