I remember when plastic drinking straws replaced paper straws. We all had a minor celebration because the paper ones were that bad. I’d love to get rid of plastic straws but if we go back to paper they really need to be better than those we had in the 1960’s. Just saying.

If you’re going through hell, keep going.

Good morning. Somehow we need to grow more coffee here in the USA. Cos tariffs. Must avoid coffee apocalypse.
I read Trump plans to visit his golf course in Scotland when he visits the UK. Does he have an ex-wife or mistress buried on the course there too?

All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.

Turn signals on our vehicles, are we for or against? Personally I like keeping an air of mystery about which way I’m going to go also using turn signals cramps my entitlement.
It’s Frozen Pizza Friday (the crowd goes wild) so happy happy to all who celebrate.
I forget the brand name of the thin crust pizza I’m having but it’s a “meat lovers” pizza. Snarl!

Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.

Good morning. Coffee done. Breakfast done. Working on tea.
Lots of spin in Texas, everyone trying to duck flood blame. Texas seems to have a problem planning for contingencies.
Trump is a fink.
ICE got a huge windfall from Trump’s Big Bloated Bill, allegedly more than the USMC. Maybe they will use some of that to buy proper uniforms. They can get rid of:
- Wal-mart camo
- Hodgepodge of civilian shirts
- Subdued velcro patches identifying them as law enforcement. You can’t read past 10 ft.

Being named in these documents does not indicate any wrongdoing related to Epstein or anyone else.
Good morning. Coffee. Coffee is a food group.
Did I read this right: Trump is trying to convince Coke a Cola to use real cane sugar in US Coke instead of high fructose corn syrup? Dude, a worthy goal but not enough to distract us from the Epstein files scandal. Epstein ain’t going away.
Just remember, the metric system was invented by foreigners.

You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks.

BBC News has put/will put part of their website behind a paywall for visitors from the US. I understand why. But I have subscription fatigue so DW is taking their place in my news rotation. And so German influence replaces British influence.
Good morning. Coffee to start. I’m wondering if climate change will let us grow coffee in the US? We do have the wonderful Kona coffee from Hawaii but land is limited.
No honor or dignity left in the US. It’s all about weasels pimping a ‘deal’. Check your rings after shaking hands.
A couple of years ago food companies were sticking quinoa in everything. Now, looking at labels, quinoa is still around but seems to have lost some of the faddish marketing power it once had.
We’re past peak quinoa.
That’s probably good because nobody knew what the heck it was anyway.

Diplomacy is the art of telling people to go to hell in such a way that they ask for directions.

Good morning. Coffee of course. I have to run errands today.
Last night I was wondering if the Epstein scandal was dying out. This morning I scanned the news headlines and every other headline is about Epstein. And Trump is rattling apart over it. He’ll try for a distraction. Brace yourselves.
NATO is rearming and if the headlines I’m reading paint a true picture, it appears they are buying new arms from other NATO countries and not from the US wherever possible. This is a wise move given the instability of the Trump regime.

Groceries bought and put away. I swear prices have gone up since July 4th. I could be wrong but it seems like it.
Good morning. Coffee somehow reminds me that I should buy groceries.
RealID isn’t really about stopping terrorists, that was an excuse, it’s about catching immigrants and controlling the movements of the citizens. It was a massive power grab. Because they are afraid of you.
