Today at the grocery store

The hubby saw a guy in line as we left and called me over to see his T-shirt. The guy was an older white gentleman. His shirt said in large letters: I HAVE A DREAM and a picture of an ICE agent arresting trump.
Everyone in line and the employees turned, noticed it, and broke into laughter and applause.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the mood out there as we head into midterms.

is the money going, references to the times we live in.... People are not only motivated, angry, uncertain, they are also scared and fearful.

Maybe not so much here in a blue area, but I've seen it here too. A moment of levity was welcome.

Guys like Mamdani and Platner are. It's powerful and if harnessed it can make 1994 look like a speed bump. In the opposite direction.

Some of us recall the Ed Ames appearance on Johnny Carson.

He accidentally "got the point"

But seriously, a MAN owns up to his mistakes and flaws, rather than

BLAMING OTHERS FOR ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING.

Just sick and perverted and as you say, NOT A MAN.
