Same here. All three children and five grandkids fully vaccinated. BTW, you have a great bio in your profile.

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.

He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

Do the rules about "conflict of interest" no longer apply under any circumstances in the Trump Regime?

Justice Department publishes some missing Epstein files related to Trump The Justice Department has published additional Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor after an NPR investigation found dozens of pages were withheld.

DOJ β€œaccidentally” withheld 53 pages of Epstein files tied to Trump. NPR caught it. Now 16 more quietly appear… leaving 37 pages still missing.

Apparently β€œmistakenly tagged as duplicates” is the DOJ’s new filing system.

Producer prices rising EVERY single month since October. Four consecutive months of acceleration. A war launched without Congress now threatening the global economy. This is reckless, unchecked power destroying your purchasing power. #TrumpsJobsSlump​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I posted this 4 days ago. Trump now says Cuba will be the next "to fall." Yet Iran has yet to surrender unconditionally, as he is demanding. Where is Congress? Will they stop this self-annointed Dictator?

According to Mike Johnson, it's only a "war" if it last for years. #idiot

What a charmer you are, Mr. Prime Minister.
What a true world leader and statesman.
Your beautiful county has so much to be proud of.
I'm in Michigan so I'm your next door neighbor.

American "society" is far from "decaying" based on this awful president and his equally rotten administration. There are many good people, even a majority, horrified at what the Feds and Congress are doing. Some good results in November can make a big difference in stopping the madness.

(Eranga Jayawardena/The Associated Press)

An Iranian ship at a joint Indian naval exercise, where all vessels were required to be unarmed, paraded its sailors along other participants, including the US. The US then withdrew at the last minute, torpedoed the Iranian vessel, and refused to rescue survivors. 87 sailors killed, 60 missing.

Four democrats voted AGAINST a war powers resolution that would’ve forced Trump to seek congressional approval to continue waging Israel’s war on Iran.

Henry Cuellar (TX)
Jared Golden (ME)
Greg Landsman (OH)
Juan Vargas (CA)

The resolution failed 219-212.
