Our petulant president is back to writing his own social media posts. That sounds just like him.
Happily retired in Illinois. Faves are family, books, puzzles, coffee, and laughter. I'm a safe space, love thy neighbor kind of Christian.

A pointless (but pointed) military flyover was planned for the time of the survivors' press conference. Nevertheless, they persisted. Women will save this country.

I watched the Epstein survivors' press conference, and I'm in awe of these women. It takes great courage to speak out. They have to re-live the worst experiences of their life in order to force JUSTICE.

States with the highest crime rates are sending their National Guard units to blue cities with lower crime rates. Blue states are sending their tax money to red states impoverished by GOP policies. This level of insanity is not sustainable.

Hey, #booksky ๐๐, if you're thinking of getting my #book, Blood of the Witness Tree (nice thinking, btw!), you may want to pick up the first book, The Dance of Rotten Sticks. #horrorbook #horror Both can stand alone, but they read well as a series. Get Sticks here: www.amazon.com/Dance-Rotten...

I'm heartbroken about President Biden's diagnosis. He is one of our best. Kind, empathetic, gentle, a GOOD man, and he's gone through too much tragedy for one man to bear. I pray he has years left to enjoy his family and his well deserved retirement. I pray his days and nights are pain free. ๐

Sure, letโs dissect the mental and physical acuity of the former president who sought to make lives in America better while minimizing the reality of a deranged arsonist dismantling the country weโve known and loved. What a failure to meet this moment.

When I voted for Joe Biden in my very red county, I saw two people wearing guns. Hers was in an open bag; his was holstered. When I asked an election judge if this was legal, she refused to answer. That's the day I knew I had to move out of the state.
