All of our living presidents who still have a sense of decency gathered to honor Rev. Jesse Jackson.

Respect recognizes respect.

Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich donโ€™t create jobs or grow the economy.

What's required is investment in working people โ€” and better wages.

When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.

Remember this.

โ€œEvery gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed...This is not a way of life...it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.โ€

-Dwight Eisenhower 1953

The darn sports networks insert subtitles and chyrons across the screen for EVERYTHING except identifying the commentators, interviewees, or other people and places they are showing.

McCloud is my favorite of Dennis Weaver's TV series roles. He lived in Southwest Colorado and was a dedicated environmentalist. Friends of mine occasionally served him in local businesses and said he was a genuinely nice and unassuming person.

They always have trillions of dollars for illegal wars in the Mideast, but SCOFF in your face and clutch their pearls when you ask for universal healthcare. You are all being played.

This reminds me of when they had Jason Aldean on just after the Route 91 Harvest Festival massacre. That outreach really helped mellow him out.

The result of almost 50 years of GOP-led cuts, cuts, cuts. When the agency doesn't perform, cut, cut, cut some more to "punish" them. Anger the public, who then cry, "Do something!" So, then, endgame! Privatize it!

Latest overused and tortured term or phrase: โ€œlevel up.โ€ Reminds me of when someone said they liked my TV because it was โ€œmellow,โ€ and when a guy said the wheels on my Scirocco were โ€œlaid back.โ€ Itโ€™s the new โ€œat the end of the day.โ€

Mercer again named a top beautiful college campus by U.S. News & World Report Mercer University has been named one of the most beautiful college campuses by U.S. News & World Report for the second straight year.

I agree-- @merceruniversity.bsky.social has a beautiful campus! It's much different from my time there many years ago, but the improvements are well-planned and honor the pre-existing heritage. #merceralumni #ProudBear den.mercer.edu/mercer-again...

BREAKING: The DOJ has explained there is a perfectly reasonable explanation for dozens of Epstein files related to Donald Trump going missing. That reason is if they didn't go missing, they would incriminate Donald Trump.

Today's Apple News Audio has a gushing, fawning, suck-up, totally distorted report by some NBC News hack.

But but but butโ€ฆFred Smith was a big trumper, and itโ€™s safe to assume his progeny are, too. They should be all in on anything their dear leader does.
