This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.
The less empathy a person has, the more likely they are to inflict pain, suffering, and death upon others.
Learning to differentiate those who have empathy from people who feign empathy – may save your life.
No, the world doesn’t.
Impulsively attacking countries because it boosts your ego will never earn you respect.
Attacking innocent civilians at sea to supposedly make a point, zero respect.
ZERO RESPECT….
Also known as "using insider knowledge for war profiteering."
Does extreme wealth and privilege cause delusions and selective memory?
Who could have foreseen that the president who lies about literally everything, no matter how large or small, would lie about his intentions for war? I for one am as shocked as when mommy disappeared behind her hands only to reappear moments later
Hegseth said "The Democrats" want our country to fail, with his classic smirk. I find him offensive,he seems to think he is immune from accountability..
Yesterday would have been Johnny Cash's 94th birthday. Here is a story about crossing paths with him. Don't forget to subscribe to my Substack, if you take the notion.

A peek behind the curtain: some of the novels I love and thought about while writing THE AMATEUR. THE AMATEUR is about secret affairs, predatory men, the class divide in America — and a teenager on trial. Preorder it wherever you buy books or learn more: chrisbohjalian.com/the-amateur/
Good questions...and will we ever see any accountability by Trump. And Ghislane should not be given a pardon or less harsh prison conditions and sentence,to protect Trump
P.S. Thank you Sen.Adam Schiff, for your persistence, sense of ethics, and for trying through all those hearings to prevent what is happening now
Try listening to some good music, while you cook, bake, and dance a bit 🙂
“.. We could spend the whole day reacting to every buffoonish spectacle coming out of the White House, but that's exactly what they want: for us to lose focus …
Don't be distracted by the noise; watch what they are doing to your rights while you stare at the screen.”
Jane Rothfield contacted Ms. Verch and me to see if she could organize a GoFundMe page to help with lost tour income and unexpected expenses after my heart attack last week, plus my lost income while I recuperate. If times are tight, please just send good wishes.

If you like making love to music, put on a live album. That way, you get applause every two to four minutes.
Trump is threatening to block a new bridge between Detroit and Canada from opening
apnews.com/article/trum... — Trump erratic. Unstable. Irrational. Harmful to US economic interests. Canada our closest global partner. We are lost. Aimless. Stupid.
Appreciate you
🙂 A conservative close minded friend of mine posted translated lyrics of Bad Bunny's songs,I don't quite know what to say?I don't like rap music,don't speak Spanish, don't appreciate profanity in music or the President calling people Piggy or Moron?But I loved the energy,vibe,inclusion at halftime
I know she is "qualified", the problem is, is she "electable"? It feels like too many voters are hesitant to elect a woman, especially a competent outspoken one. Not saying this is okay, just realizing the reality (and the outcome)
Safe trip home this weekend. "Get outside, it's good for your insides"

Every book we are reading in our book club is about antisemitism, going back centuries. And the Spanish Inquisition? 😳 "The Book of People" by Geraldine Brooks covers years of religious persecution and wars.
The so-called Save America Act will force 21 million American citizens to produce passports or birth certificates just to register to vote. Most do not have them ready. Turning paperwork into a barrier is a poll tax by another name. #HandsOffHerVote social.demcast.com/s/L9X3k1fQ
I have spent $360 since Feb 1 at Walmart for groceries. Going without my Rx refill, because cost went up from $80 to $420. Retired R.N. living on fixed income. Impossible. 72 yrs old, praying to die soon
A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.
Perfect
Trump called Bad Bunny a "disgrace" to America, when the show was intended as testimony to the strength in hard work,determination,diversity. I thought Kid Rock's appearance might appease them, but misery loves company
