Good morning friends. I am continually amazed at what President Trump gets done while I'm asleep. He is making deals all over the world. We are blessed.

Valerie's avatar

I’m two plus decades younger than he is and envy his energy. In fact, I think I heard Don Jr say the same thing on a podcast recently. His energy and ability to get things done are astounding. Imagine what this country could look like if all of our elected officials brought the same energy. PS, term limits would help by giving elected officials a limited time window, just saying.

Dave aka Geezermann's avatar

I agree. He is five years older than I am, and I cannot imagine the schedule he is able to keep.

Alan Devincentis's avatar

I think he’s got almost ten years on me,and I’m good one minor job per day. It’s almost embarrassing.

Some days I’m doing well just to walk the dog😂

Debra's avatar

I agree and I don't even have a dog!

Matt L.'s avatar

DJT doesn’t drink alcohol, and I’m convinced this absence contributes to the superhuman schedule he can keep in his now, sunset years. I think of Fred Trump Jr. (who died young of alcoholism) when I hear of Trump schedule and accomplishments now in his 80’s. DJT probably still does, too.

I forgot about this, but you're right-- he's referenced that part of his history more than once.

I feel kind of bad for her. The media that used to prop her up is now eating her alive. Bless her little First black queer woman’s heart.

I think she looked better with the Sideshow Bob hairstyle. Now she is just one more black lesbian author with hair culturally appropriated from women of another race.

Never fear she still sports the white eye shadow that looks like an extra set of eyes when she blinks.

I always wondered why black women aka Joy Reid were never called out for appropriating white culture with her straight hair wigs

Agree. But also imagine our 9-month past, and 3-year 3-month future, if by some act of fraud Kamala Harris was leading the USA. Talk about slow motion, illogical nothingness.

Jake's avatar

What's truly amazing is that most Dems don't see it. I wish Charles Krauthammer was still alive. He called The Trumpster a clown. I wonder what he would say now??

MayBella82's avatar

He has all of eternity to wish he had been a better person and used a little critical thinking.

Yeah I was really disappointed that he couldn’t see past what the media presented.

Article V Convention of States needed to address term limits!

Free in Florida's avatar

We have the ability to address term limits every two years for Representatives and every six years for Senators. We just need to do it!!

Donna Oliphint's avatar

No! That puts the entire Constitution up for grabs, not just term limits.

InquizitiveOne's avatar

I think you are mistaken: an Article 5 Convention of states is limited to the subject areas on the platform , requiring 34 states to submit identical petitions. So far there are around 20. The platform is for Term limits, reducing federal overreach, and fiscal restraint.

You're wrong, but since you've, obviously, never looked into it, you'll never believe anything different.

InquizitiveOne's avatar

How am I wrong Bandit? I've been volunteering My time With COS for the last four years. I suggest anyone who is curious to learn about COS for themselves on Cosaction.com.

The founding fathers wrote the entire constitution and included Article 5 in it.

I'm curious, are there other parts of the constitution you disagree with, or just Article 5?

Trump has them checkmated, but for reasons of practicality and persuasion, the full extent of it won’t be easily seen for a while yet. Also, remember that Trump had a successful reality TV show and a known flair for drama. He’s going to be timing bombshells over his entire term, with an eye towards MAGA winning big in 2026 and 2028.

Can you share the source for what you said about Kash “limiting” what Tulsi is doing? I am very pleased with Kash personally, the rate at which he’s quietly breaking up child trafficking rings and freeing children is so very overdue, and it’s running under the radar. Every time he says “we found all this evidence in a trash bag” it’s IMHO a way of saying that Trump has said - okay time to release that batch on the American public because they’re ready! Kash is doing what Trump wants him to do or he would not be there. Same with Bondi. Some things the general sheep are just not ready for, yet, but it’s coming like a freight train.

shayne's avatar

He's like a top sheep or cattle dog 😂 If you've every watch sheep dog trials, you'll know.

Eliza Parker's avatar

We have a border collie, he’s not top dog but he is ALWAYS working. He has tracks worn in the dirt around various animal enclosures that he runs all day long to keep those animals in line.

St. Alia the Knife's avatar

My uncle had Shelties and when the kids were little, 3, 4, 5, it was hysterical to watch one of the Shelties herd the kids up and down the long hallway in his house. My uncle would bring his dogs to my barn and they would herd my big Collie-Shepherd cross. Poor Brutus never stood a chance, despite both his parents being herding breeds, as well! 😂😂

Mrs. "the Knife"

shayne's avatar

That would've been fun to watch ❤️

St. Alia the Knife's avatar

It was! I am not sure who had more fun: the dog, having live bodies to herd, the little kids running up and down the hall giggling, or the adults watching the whole thing!

Mrs. "the Knife"

I love sheep dog trials. Back home those dogs rule the sheep stations. And they look at you with such love in their eyes. 😂

Deb Nance's avatar

They're listed as the most intelligent dogs, because they have to keep up to 12 commands in their mind at once.

Eliza Parker's avatar

Not my border collie lol, I call him the dumbest smart dog I ever met. He’s from champion blood lines but was rejected as a trial dog and by two other farms before he came to be our “farm dog”, I have given him a command to work my sheep and even with the sheep right in front of us, he’ll run off to the pigs and try to herd them. I had a problem with lambs getting in my garden this year. I would send him off to herd them out but instead he would run barking to the barn, the lambs frightened by the barking would also run back to the barn, often times they would meet at the gate, would the dog herd them back in, nope, usually he would scatter them and send them running in all different directions. He just gets so excited he forgets to listen or follow the command he was given.

Deb Nance's avatar

Is he still a puppy? You have to at least give him points for enthusiasm.

Eliza Parker's avatar

We definitely do! He’s very eager. He’s 3, I’ve read that border collies don’t reach their best potential until 4 or 5 so patiently waiting for that. lol

shayne's avatar

In the biblical sense, yes. Not in the worldly sense.

Bard Joseph's avatar

One of the main techniques for breaking morale through a strategy of terror consists on exactly this tactic - keep the person hazy as to where he stands and just what he may expect. In addition if frequent vaccillations between severe disciplinary measures and promises of good treatment together with the spreading of contradictory news, make the cognitive structure of this situation utterly unclear, then the individual may cease even to know a particular plan would lead toward or away from his goal. Under these conditions even those individuals who have definite goals and are ready to take risks are paralyzed by severe inner conflict in regard to what to do."

I think Trump keeps a pocket sized copy of the art of war in his pocket at all times

Franklin O'Kanu's avatar

Brad! Great post. This very much applies to us in the general public as well. We’re kept in a constant state of terror from the news we’re paralyzed by inner conflict.

Makes sense that this would come from Tavistock. Sounds a lot like “strategy of tension” that’s unleashed on the public:

https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/the-definition-of-strategy-of-tension

Valerie's avatar

Personally, I have no sense of terror from reading the news. I have Jesus in my heart so, while there is a lot to be concerned about, there always is in every generation, I choose not to be upset by it.

MayBella82's avatar

I found during COVID that those who had strong faith in God did well and didn’t panic… they didn’t run to get the jab or wear mask in cars. I can’t tell you how many times I would tell people to pray and give to God then let it go.

dancingtime's avatar

I didn't see that at all....churches closed....few were the ones which did not...individually I did not see religion as impacting an individual's take on covid...common sense and analytical ability were key...imho

Maggie Think of Me's avatar

For those of us who do believe, we worshiped through the idiocy! It made huge difference in how we lived.

Michelle Enmark, DDS's avatar

This too, dancingtime. It was the winning combination for those dark times: common sense/analytical skills in combination wi personal religious faith, which often doesn’t come from a church. Yes, so many closed which was extremely disappointing but my sister’s church didn’t as the pastor knew it was unconstitutional and unnecessary. Smart man.

Deb Nance's avatar

I make it a point to laugh every day and I think that's important to release tension and put things in perspective. I'll watch a Gutfeld show, or Joe Machi stand-up, or Something from Comedy Central, or get down on the floor and play with my dog and cat. I try to laugh before I go to bed and find I sleep better. A good laugh releases endorphins... like sex.

Never laugh during sex Deb. Just sayin'...

You should try it (with someone you've had a long enough relationship with.) We laugh till the tears come. Sex should be fun too sometimes.

💯‼️💯‼️

Truth Seeker's avatar

Plenty of opportunity to unpack todays C&C.

The concluding statement is prescient: "Anyway, despite widespread whining from Democrats claiming that Kennedy doesn’t believe in modern medicine and prefers holistic treatments made from cow dung and lightning bug excrescence, HHS continues to chip away at Big Pharma’s traditional fortress of Guaranteed Profit. As helpful as alternative treatments may be, many Americans still depend on these expensive categories of drugs, and this kind of common-sense reform is great news for them, and bad news for the giant, over-funded drugmakers."

On the prevention side of "holistic treatments" is... prevention. That is far more than removing toxic additives and coloring agents. Although its true that sick people "depend" on drugs, that does not make the case that they are useful. It does make the case that Americans know precious little about health.

Those who have spent a lifetime learning about health refused the Quaxcine mRNA despite the deliberate rebranding. They never ingested preservatives or coloring agents,

or "trusted" the Medical Cartel excepting limited Emergency care. They did not purchase the offerings of Corporate "food" manufacturers. They avoid the pesticides and herbicides without

a second thought. They witness the consequences for health illiteracy.

Know the truth and it shall???

Reelin’ In The Fears's avatar

Agree. I’m thinking of taking long daytime naps to see what he’ll get done while I occupy my couch from 2:00 to 3:00 each afternoon.

Dave aka Geezermann's avatar

Depending on how early I get up, I sometimes take one of those naps between 2-3. I wonder if Trump takes "power naps". A long flight on AF 1 would be ideal for one.

The Imaginary Hobgoblin's avatar

Seems as though "modern medicine" - a most malleable term - has done more harm than good. I'll take the cow dung over the Magic 8 Ball approach. On the upside, this recent revelation of "healthcare" subterfuge has made me more discerning - if not flat out skeptical - than ever. I give far greater credence to chiropractors, osteopaths - and sometimes garden gnomes - over MD's and General Practitioners. They've earned the highest level of scrutiny.

Dawn B's avatar

Food is our medicine but they pollute it and our water as well.

I got severe ulcerative colitis from eating strawberries 2 years ago. They were washed but still covered in glyphosate pesticides as is all our wheat and corn and soybeans etc. My husband had the same issue after eating them but his body recovered and mine did not.

I had to go see a GI specialist but they had no clue why people get colitis and said diet won't help (not true), it is lifelong, no cure, and only meds like expensive biologics can manage it. I suffered for 2 months crapping blood 20+ times a day. Rather than take expensive and "body self healing preventative" biologics the rest of my life, I took prednisone 2 months so my brain would stop attacking my gut, could heal, and ate probiotic foods. I am now 100% better.

Again, I didn't listen to the doctor and am healed. At least the prednisone helped but was poison too but was necessary to take since I lost 25lbs and could not digest food. It made my hair fall out.

Same old... problem solution scenario...

Amy Bee's avatar

A GI doctor told me ulcerative colitis and chrones are diseases of unknown origin that only occur in first world countries. Interesting…..

Cabogirl's avatar

That’s ridiculous as I don’t know a single soul in MX that has any of those issues.. the American and Canadians ex pats yes. Mexicans no ..But American doctors do not believe that Americans could possibly have any parasites which I think actually is the root of these diseases. Mexicans take anti parasitic drugs like at least once a year.

Those above diseases seem to be a product of more wealthy nations, chemical additives, fake food, highly processed foods. The food is better quality here.. it’s sometimes the prep and handling that might be the issue. Let me know your thoughts.

Merry McIntyre's avatar

For starters, antibiotics will destroy the gut biome.

LamedVav disavows all vaxes.'s avatar

Be sure to eat yogurt with live cultures and sauerkraut

NofloChick's avatar

I just learned not long ago, and never thought about it before, but antibiotics are available intramuscularly. If you can take them IM you don't have to worry about them destroying your gut.

Michelle Enmark, DDS's avatar

They get there eventually, Noflo Chick, and must be eliminated somehow by one or more of our organs of elimination, so they’re everywhere in the body. Think about topical hormone cream for example or patches- they all raise blood levels of the drug, which must be processed and eliminated by the colon, urinary tract, skin ( through sweat ), and/or by exhaling it out. Route(s) depend on the chemical.

Intermittent fasting helps the gut heal. I practice it. Plus I eat only organic.

Glad you made it thru!! Avoid conventional fruits and vegetables. Even organic can’t be 100% trusted but you’re safer. Research EWG dirty dozen for a list of fruits and veggies with the highest pesticide levels

Dawn B's avatar

Yep even organic. The health ranger proved that chlorine dioxide can remove seventy percent of glyphosate. I was using that to clean all my fruits and vegetables before but now I eat nothing until it is cleaned. Those strawberries I ate, I got lazy and didn't wash them with the MMS and lo and behold I got sick.

CMCM's avatar

I lived in the Middle East for 10 years. We had to soak our fresh vegetables and fruits in a chlorox and water mix to make them safe to eat.

I’m always looking for organic grown in the USA, because who’s checking the fields in Zimbabwe, Colombia and Cambodia?? Not our USDA, and not the company importing the fruits and vegetables. I’m trying to eat seasonally as much as possible. We’ve become used to having everything we want year round! A gentleman in the grocery store yesterday lost his mind because he couldn’t find any peaches which are long out of season. We’ve simply lost touch with the rhythm of our food production.

Antibiotics did nothing for my IBS and makes your already low white blood cell count even worse, but prednisone extra low dose I personally adjusted for 2 months allowed my gut to heal. I youtubed how to make my own yogurt, fermented veggies, and kombucha to balance my gut flora. It was pretty easy. Now I eat whatever because i can, but should eat better.

STH's avatar

A Midwestern Doctor talks about curing bowel issues with DMSO. It has worked for me. And almost immediately. I’ve been using 1/4tsp 3xday for the past few days. Now I will cut out the midday dose and see what happens. Isn’t it annoying we have to doctor ourselves?

Cousin Clem's avatar

I don't believe it's annoying that we have to doctor ourselves. what's wrong with being responsible for one's self? We should never have to depend upon another person to give us health. That's our job. Realizing you can control your own health is empowering, is it not?

rolandttg's avatar

This should have a heck of a lot more likes. If there is one thing that became crystal clear when curing my wife's cancer, it is that Everyone is responsible for their own health. People should no more blindly trust a doctor than a lawyer or stockbroker or used car salesman. They all put their pants on the same as you, and they all are working for money.

MaryAnn's avatar

Roland: This! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Melissa S's avatar

What is annoying is that doctors in general tell us that they are the experts. They are smart. We are dumb. They are educated. We are not. They may even be the cause of health problems through Rx they prescribe. They are not happy when we take our health into our own hands, do the research, and seek for for natural and alternative cures and lifestyle changes. When one does cure or successfully treat a health issue, doctors will most always tell you that what you did wasn't what helped. They don't know what really did help. But they do know that whatever you did was not helpful. They are baffled.

Agree. No one knows your body like yourself. I do a lot of reading and most of my ailments have been fixed by my own doctoring.

STH's avatar

What I mean is isn’t it annoying that doctors are such idiots? We pay them a shit ton of money and they rarely help. Even my naturopaths I’ve had over the years fall short.

Cousin Clem's avatar

Yeah, I did meet once with a naturopath and found that person to be just like an MD but instead of drugs, the wanted me taking fistfuls of supplements. Their mentality was the same. You have a problem and take a bunch of stuff to fix it rather than examine why this problem is occurring.

Eruca Sativa's avatar

I agree with you regarding myself. But just like everyone can't fix their own car or appliances, everyone can't fix themselves or knows where to begin. The problem is that we have doctors instead of healers. It's a fraught occupation and has been since its inception.

Donna in MO's avatar

I find it annoying as one, it is super time consuming to try to sort out what is real and what is snake oil. Two, lots of conflicting information, and what works for one person doesn't work for another, and lots of trial and error. Only so many hours in the day. Had some kind of crud that knocked me on my butt in August. Spent hours and hours researching, tried a few things, friends gave me remedies to try. After 2 weeks of feeling like crap ended up at a regular NP as that is all I could get into. Said I was on the verge of pneumonia, gave me an antibiotic and I felt better within 2 days. Not a lot of trust in regular docs but my record of trying things on my own sucks.

Cousin Clem's avatar

Sometimes, you need tech, like lab tests to see what's happening. I'm grateful that many states now allow you to get blood tests yourself rather than having to go to an MD to get them done. And of course, there are times when a doctor can assist, as you point out. I just believe many people dash off to the MD at the first sign of a sniffle and many go to them for "wellness checks" which the insurance companies always push. They will always find something that needs a drug. High cholesterol, high blood pressure the two big ones.

Michelle Enmark, DDS's avatar

I agree, Cousin Clem, although I understand where STH is coming from. “ Experts “ in certain fields should be able to offer valuable solutions and it’s disheartening that so many do not even know about, or worse, disparage other treatment options.

Merry McIntyre's avatar

No, it’s empowering! 😋

I didn't eat gluten while healing. I do now. Since my condition started because of gyphosate and wheat is dried by glyphosate.

I took Thorne glycine. It is supposed to to detox glyphosate from Amazon one bottle.

I just ate as much organic and probiotic foods as possible. I don't now but I don't eat them without cleaning with MMS unless I go out to eat. I eat everything now but i did have one small flare up over a year ago and took very small dose prednisone meant for a week and I stretched it to 30 days and went back to diet.

She humored me and in 15 seconds of chewing cloves her obnoxious cough stopped. We talked for over an hour and a half with NO COUGHING from either of us! Side benefit: sweeter smelling breath.

Dr. William Davis, author of “super gut“, recommends tea of whole cloves to help the particular gut bacteria called Akkermansia mucinophila. He says this microbe strengthens the mucous gut lining. He says only use cloves and never to take the bacteria as a probiotic because it also eats the mucous gut lining.

KC & the Sunshine's avatar

Never to take the bacteria?

LamedVav disavows all vaxes.'s avatar

Never to take the bacteria because if it over-proliferates, it will eat the mucin lining and cause ulcers. That’s why he says only to help it grow naturally with cloves. Too much of a good thing.

BBS's avatar

Or cloves cloves? I have both and am waiting for your answer.

Shelle's avatar

She has to be talking about spice cloves because the mention of sweeter smelling breath wouldn't apply to garlic.

Astragale's avatar

Cloves that you can put in apple pie. Or mulled wine.

Just slowly chew a few if you get a cough.

Preferably organic.

PamelaZelie's avatar

Yes, the spice or garlic?

No!

Cloves - like you put in apple pie.

I discovered this about cloves too. In 2020.

If ever I have a cough, I chew 3 or 4 cloves - & it’s gone!

Thanks, Eric! Chiropractic saved my life after many years of suffering under allopathic treatment from being severely injured in a car accident so I went back to school at age 38 & got my Doctor of Chiropractic degree. Seven years of intense studies. The medical schools have been hijacked by the pharmaceutical industry & that is now basically all that they learn. Cut, poison, burn. They are legalized drug dealers & ensconced in a system of grifting by keeping people sick.

Words Beyond Me-Janice Powell's avatar

✝️✝️✝️

Then those who feared Yahweh spoke to one another, and Yahweh gave heed and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him for those who fear Yahweh and who think upon His name. “And they will be Mine,” says Yahweh of hosts, “on the day that I prepare My own treasured possession, and I will spare them as a man spares his own son who serves him.” So you will return and see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve Him. “For behold, the day is coming, burning like a furnace; and all the arrogant and every worker of wickedness will be chaff; and the day that is coming will set them aflame,” says Yahweh of hosts, “so that it will leave them neither root nor branch. But for you who fear My name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings; and you will go forth and skip about like calves from the stall. And you will tread down the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day which I am preparing,” says Yahweh of hosts.

Newsom and wind reminds me - Palisades fire victims are suing Newsom and the state of California because state firefighters didn't follow proper protocols in putting out the very small fire that was set on New Year's Eve, allowed to smolder and then become the Palisades fire.

Newsom is disavowing all responsibility.

The victims are also suing Mayor Bass and the city of LA for their more obvious failures. One defense LA has put up is that governments have no obligation to fight fires in any particular way, and are immune to liabilities. That's not going over so well.

SD Scott's avatar

Initial small fire set by whom??

Porge's avatar

Some Uber driver that fled to France( I believe) they arrested him a week or two ago

She would be free, had she been charged federally. But this shithole state of Colorado put her in prison, and there isn’t anything pdt can do about it, except squeeze them financially, and have people working behind the scenes charging the corrupt bastards that put her there.

Tina Peters was a Mesa County Clerk in Colorado and was convicted in 2024 for election interference and sentenced to nine years in prison. She is the first U.S. election official criminally convicted for actions tied to 2020 “election conspiracy theories.” she was simply trying to do her job and expose the corruption in Colorado. It’s outrageous. She was completely set up. Goldstar mom. Absolutely shameful.

She was the County Clerk in Mesa County, Colorado, who discovered problems with the voting machines in the 2020 presidential election. I don’t want to get the details wrong, but she was trying to do the right thing by backing up some data and was basically convicted for speaking inconvenient (to the cheaters) truth. The judge in her trial was extremely biased against her.

she downloaded data from a Dominion voting machine before and after it was "serviced" (cleaned) after the election, thereby having physical proof of electronic vote fraud.

Jeff, please cover the firing of Dr. Steven Hatfill from the HHS.

Kelly Reardon's avatar

Yes! Please!

https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/breaking-exclusive-top-hhs-official

"Dr. Hatfill emphasized that he did not believe Kennedy himself had ordered the firing, instead pointing to a small inner circle he described as acting independently of the Secretary’s agenda. He said they have blocked multiple pandemic preparedness and vaccine reform initiatives...

Both Hatfill and Delaney said their firings coincided with efforts to expose the catastrophic harms of mRNA vaccine technology and the ongoing concealment of safety data within U.S. health agencies...

They warned that Kennedy may not even be aware of the extent of the internal mutiny taking place within his own department.

According to both guests, efforts against mRNA are being neutralized from the inside — with corrupt bureaucrats protecting pharmaceutical interests and removing those who refuse to comply."

For anyone who is tired, frustrated, and just wants to move-on from this fight, please reconsider...

Because more people need to understand that it is not enough for there to be no mandates...

The modified mRNA-LNP gene "therapy" transfection injections are dangerous by design.

And they can shed on others, making them dangerous for those who said "Hell NO!" as well...

Self vs Non-self is basic foundational Immunology 101...But the mRNA shots undermine this essential principle.

The mRNA shots were/are always going to be an immunological catastrophe for humanity.

NO ONE should have ever had the “choice” of taking these gene “therapy” transfection injections because the modified mRNA-LNP genetic transfection technology platform is fundamentally flawed & dangerous by design.

These transfection injection bioweapons NEVER should have been injected into a single human being...

Tragically, because more people do not understand that this is not about "choice", this is not about the ability to tell others what to do or not...

Because more people are not standing up and demanding that these "traditional" modified mRNA-LNP transfection injections be pulled from the market, the next "evolution" is moving forward (the self amplifying mRNA technology platform)...

https://www.drtrozzi.news/p/world-council-for-health-the-dangers

Vioxx, 1976 Swine flu shot, Thalidomide, DES, DDT, etc...etc...ALL removed from the market after having previously been approved for use in the USA, or Europe, or wherever...yet now some people are acting like removing a product from the market is unprecedented...

Dangerous, injurious, deadly products must be pulled from the market!!! You do NOT give uninformed or misinformed people the "choice" to use such products.

Especially when their uninformed "consent" leads to them taking a product that sheds and poses a legitimate danger to the health of those being shed on.

Shedding from these transfection injection bioweapons IS an extremely serious concern, with some people being affected more than others...

"While the pharmaceutical industry rushes to expand mRNA use for its speed and profit, a fundamental immunological principle is being overlooked: Any cell that produces a foreign protein is marked for destruction by the immune system.

This isn't theoretical. Clear histopathological evidence from biopsies and autopsies confirms the vaccine's genetic material does not stay at the injection site. It enters systemic circulation and spreads uncontrollably throughout the body, including to vital organs like the brain and heart.

Once there, the body's own cells are forced to produce the foreign antigen, triggering an immune attack on its own tissues."

From an article in New Republic:

Dr. Steven J. Hatfill claims that his ouster as a senior adviser is part of a “coup” against Kennedy, adding that he believes that he is the first duck to fall as part of a “coup to overthrow Mr. Kennedy” led by the secretary’s current chief of staff, Matt Buckham.

Which leads to the question, who appointed Matt Buckham?

Juju's avatar

Perhaps he’s experiencing the same disorientation Trump did in his first term trusting appointments that were actually meant to derail him. Looks like it takes a second term to get anything done. Kennedy is learning who and how to trust. We will have to aggressively campaign to keep Kennedy right where he is come 2028.

Lori--Arizona has had an influx of residents coming from California, and we Arizonans were concerned that they were going to be bringing their progressive politics to our (barely) red state. However recent studies have shown that the Californians who are moving to Arizona have a higher percentage of conservative voters than Arizona in general. It goes to show that the people fleeing the blue states are doing so because they are fed up with progressive policies!

We bought our house in N. California in 1989. Our interest rate was 9.5%. We had to re-fi several times over the next 5 or 6 years to get it down to a more acceptable 5.5%.

In the early 1980s I was working overseas but sending all my money back to a savings account, and I was getting 16% interest on it.
