I just saw an article that said a CEO that stole a hat from a kid at a tennis event was the most hated man in America. I feel like that's forgeting someone.

A heroic and legal stand for the D.A. for the City of Philadelphia. A Blue city in a "Red" state.Basically saying that if ICEor any Federal Agents, or National Guard,try to illegally kidnap citizens, those agents or guardsmen will be arrested by local police. Nothing the First Felon can do. Love it!
For absolutely no reason at all, there is a bottle of champagne chilling in the fridge, and it will be opened at the appropriate time
I learned harmonica last year at 80.
It's amazing to me how fast both of us are picking up piano. It's like the instrument we were both meant to play the whole time. My daughter's foundation in drums and bass is helping her. Her lefthandedness isn't a detriment. And I can still read music.
Live your life in such a way that the whole world isn’t still holding out hope that you’re dead despite seeing pictures of you alive.
We dumped a president for being too old only to elect one who immediately died. You can't say that's not funny
Just so you know, everything that is being pushed out from the Whitehouse is just a ploy to distract us from the Epstein victims testifying on Capitol Hill on Wednesday. Thank you Rep Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Rep Thomas Massie (R-KY) for making this happen. The victims deserve justice! 💥🔥💥
Sigh. If we only had journalism or reporting.
Hey Congress – make Alex Acosta's testimony public and televised. There's absolutely no ethical reason for it to be private and transcribed. Nefarious AF. We need to hear your questions. We want to see him squirm. We need to see him squirm. Yet another sign of a cover-up.
Happy Labor Day to the union workers who built America’s middle class.
Have the people of America noticed what is happening at the White House? Donald Trump is doing renovations starting September 1, Labor Day. They are tossing stuff out of the 2nd and 3rd story windows. Also, he has cancelled the WH tours. He is unilaterally changing America's House.
We hold that truth self evident.
One of my favorites. He's not sad. He's serene.
Thank you. I walked over 3 miles yesterday. That was good.
How about "Don't fucking lie" as the code?
I miss integrity in journalism. The profession needs a code similar to the Hippocratic oath.
Thank you. I'd like to as long as my health is good. I did write my obituary because it's honest and bold. Mija has it for distribution and I have shared it with one other person. I will share the photograph with you.
Unions do not try to bankrupt companies. That would be stupid. There are no jobs without businesses of manufacturing and distributing products and unions know that. Unions try to protect employees and get a fair share of the wealth of the economy for workers.

Don't read this wrong when I say, I didn't want to end my life this way. I'm not going anywhere until it's time but at 81, with most Paynes taking the bus at 85, the end's in view. I mean that I expected to see my country like I was dumb enough to believe it was instead of this shithole it's become.
All my life, from when I first began to read The Pawhuska Journal-Capital, to listening to news on the radio, and then television, I have believed in and respected the press. No longer. Only a few journalists. Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell. A couple more.
Why? They aren't reporting anything anyway. "SALE AT WALMART!" Wait! "BREAKING! SALE AT WALMART!"
I'm wondering if the remaining print newspapers are dusting off their largest font, just in case.
He didn’t write that. Not enough capitals. Kind of AI, actually.
The Osage were not included because they bought their land from the Cherokee nation because the chief said, paraphrasing him, "We'll buy the shittiest land in Oklahoma where nothing can grow and no one will want our land again."
Liam, I don't know if you know this. Many Oklahoma families, including mine, say, "Grandpa didn't want to put us on the roll." Here's the part I mean. It wasn't an option. The whole point was to create a stalag, a concentration, of Indians so their land could be stolen. Angie Debo makes that clear.
It's a challenge in this sense. It's heavily annotated and I read all of the citations because I really wanted to understand it because of my Payne family believing that we are Cherokee. We're not. I've tested 8-10 cousins and my brother, and of course, myself.

BREAKING plane carrying EU chief Ursula von der Leyen hit by suspected Russian GPS jamming while landing in Bulgaria. It landed safely, but the incident highlights Moscow’s aggression as she sought support for Ukraine. The EU has sanctioned Russia before over such tactics www.cnn.com/2025/09/01/w...

Good morning Blue Sky
Russia, scared, desperate, and continually evil.
We do not fully grasp how damaging the SCOTUS’ presidential immunity decision was. What we know is it was a disaster and the huge damage it has caused is being compounded daily. That is because the result is a collaboration between corrupt justices, a supine Congress and a demented President.

Today's a federal holiday because on the eve of the 20th century machinists, carpenters, and people who worked in mills, mines, and factories joined together to fight for better wages and a day to honor working people. If you're enjoying the holiday today, thank the labor movement.

Did you know in 1890 manufacturing employees worked on average 100 hours a week? It would be decades before the eight-hour workday became real. It took labor activists and labor unions to turn the cry for change into policy and practice. www.americaamerica.news/p/a-labor-da...

You’re ignorant if - you believe that the government is ‘chipping’ you with vaccines. You’re a ignorant if - you think that the mRNA in a vaccine is manipulating your DNA. You’re a ignorant if - you believe that vaccines cause autism. Vaccines are safe and effective! Vaccines cause old age.

Waiting for a bus and a young man skipped in front of me in the queue to get on. As he got off I seen he had left his wallet on the seat if he hadn't of skipped I would have told him but it felt like karma so I didn't say a word.
The best (unofficial) consultation I've ever had. This medical expert on hereditary osteoporosis read my referral. He showed a genuine interest in my case. He felt compelled to reach out to me on holiday weekend. He cared. Unprecedented. An honor and privilege to be on the receiving end.
If there were a press pool.
You’re not the crazy one.
Shoutout to everyone who can disappear for a few days and the entire world isn't praying that you died!.
Life Tip: You can be a night owl AND an early bird if your sleep schedule's messed up enough

American pride !!! 🤣🤣
I’m surprised a man found it.
I didn’t realize it was VP Curtis who was the author of that legislation. Unfortunately the leadership of the five “civilized tribes” (many of them predominately mixed bloods) chose the wrong side in the Civil War and their people paid for it for the remainder of the 19th Century.
ABC News is still calling RFK Jr. a “vaccine skeptic.” The dude was one of the most prominent anti-vaccine activists for decades. There’s video of him in 2023 saying that there’s no vaccine which is safe and effective. You can call him an anti-vaccine activist!
Here's what I think destroyed public education. Well, republicans, but also making sport coaches teach classes. They didn't give a single fuck about teaching no classes. Let 'em be coaches. Damn.

National media sits with their thumb well hidden.
Just sayin’.
Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch. Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.

I recommend reading Angie Debo's book, "And Still the Waters Run" to understand the Curtis Act, Dawes Commission, and the terrible impact they had on the tribes in Oklahoma. They were a license to steal. White men decided who was and wasn't Indian.
See Indian museums.
The White House posts that the US has now taken in $8 Trillion in tariff revenue so far. Preposterous insane lies on an hourly basis.
'When SCOTUS reconvenes in Oct, the 9 justices will likely be confronted with at least 3 major cases that could determine how far the conserv majority will go in allowing Trump to take away more power from Congress & bend the law to hire & fire anyone he chooses.' www.rawstory.com/trump-suprem...

People, please stop ruining my "he could be dead" party. Sure maybe JD can control a cult while being controlled by an in-fighting committee of trillionaire shadow POTUS bros. I don't think so. But even so, he'll still be very dead. Dead is good. We have to find joy where we can.
